using arrivée instead of arrivé

In the sentences Ils attendent son arrivée and Ils s'attendent à son arrivée ... why use the feminine arrivée, when Ils (not elles) is the subject and HE is the one arriving. Merci

la porte s'ouvre

Why s' ouvre? The verb "ouvre" is not a reflexive verb.

Thank you in advance for taking time to answer.

Is it more appropriate to say use Qu'est-ce que c'est que in spoken form? ...and Qu'est-ce que c'est is appropriate written form. What did we mean by more formal?

Partir vs quitterI'm a bit unsure about the difference between these two. If you leave the job then it's quitter, but if you leave Paris, perhaps for good but perhaps not are both possible?

J'achèterais v J'achèterai

I notice that Madelein has asked the exactly same question that I was going to ask. However, I'm still confused over this ... so if "I would buy a house" is translated as "J'achèterai une maison" how would you then translate "I will buy a house"

ExercisesFor conjugations like these verbs, I wish you have some exercises on the page for us to do. It's almost impossible to remember these conjugations just by reading through them.
