I don't understand why déchiffrer is in the "vous" form here. Surely after "arrivez à" it should be in the infinitive ? Or does "Arriver à" behave differently from most verbs with à after them ?

I was wondering where we are supposed to place these constructions within sentences and clauses. Some translations show after the entire clause or sentence, some show after the verb.

- Nous les avons tous les deux vu(e)s

- Nous les avons vu(e)s tous les deux

- Lui et son frère sont venus tous les deux 

A general lesson about saying 'both' to describe people and objects should be made.

Regarding the question ?How could you say "You need a new bike." ??

I think "devoir" would be acceptable as I perceived the possibility the person used the bike as a necessary form of transportation and the bike was either to broken to repair or was used for work.  In that case they would really need to replace the bike making devoir acceptable.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into the questionÉ
