Si "to go ski" est "faire du ski", pourquoi "would go skiing" n'est pas "faisaient du ski"?

on est perdus..... why plural ? on can take the place of nous ... is that the reason ?

I have seen the phrase avoir à a couple times, and I was wondering how it differs from il faut and devoir - is it a less formal version of both of them, a more informal iteration of only one, or is it a completely different idea that it expresses

The question that led me here asked to fill in the proper tense of the verb ‘venir’ in this sentence:  Il______heir.  I wrote ‘Il est venu heir.’ The correction said the correct answer was Il sont venu. Wouldn’t the ‘sont’ tense be used instead for the third person plural (ils)?

This sentence: Nous n'avons pas encore décidé quoi manger

Will it be wrong to say nous n'avons pas encore décidé ce qui manger?  

"I have been living here for 10 years" --> J'habite ici il y a 10 ans".    I know the translation provided by the video is "Il y a 10 ans sue J'habite ici". Why can't I say the I live part (J'habite) first? Thank u :) 

It would be useful to have a quiz in order to practise all the places and buildings in a town. This would help us to consolidate what is actually quite a long list, but very useful vocabulary when one is visiting France.

Am I missing the meaning altogether, or does not "lèche-vitrine" mean "window-shopping" - that is looking into shop windows and wishing you could buy what you see, without actually doing so?

1  nous avions chaussé nos après-skis: I’m guessing this means they were shod in snow boots, but was curious why après-skis is pluralised with an s on the end - nos après-ski was marked wrong. 

2 Les enfants étaient tout excités : I should know, but if the children were girls, would it be tout excitées or does the adjective have to agree with "enfants"? It was a good opportunity to revise the complex rules around "tout" modifying an adjective!

In this example - Le temps que nous arrivions, mon avion était déjà parti !

Why is it not - "Le temps que nous soyons arrivés..." because it means By the time we arrived... Why Subjonctif Passé is not used?
