Why Le instead of LaI found a sentence "elle fait *une bonne tarte aux fruits et elle invite des amis pour *le goûter" in the dictation exercise that I took today. In this case, why they use "le" for "une bonne tarte aux fruits"?

Grammer queries

"I have a few questions which I hope you can answer. 1. Are "finir" and "terminer" synonyms? 2. For "I am late." would you say "Je suis en retard." OR " J'ai du retard"? 3. For "at this instant" would you say "a l'instant or "a cet instant"?

Sorry, can't type accents on my keyboard.

Mangeons-en vs allez-vous enThe lesson shows us "mangeons-en" and I know that "allez-vous en" is a valid sentence. Both are imperative. Why the difference in construction? Why is it not "mangeons-nous en" or "allez-en"? It is just that "allez-vous en" is an idiom or there some underlying graammatical rule?
