I thought "une paire" could be used as well as "un couple".  Does "une paire" imply something like "two things that match/belong together", more than "un couple" does?  In English, I would very likely refer to two horses in a field as "a pair of horses", whether they looked alike or not.

Hi I have to choose between 'en' and 'y' to complete the following - on _____ revient tourjours contents.     Is it 'en' because or 'revenir de' or 'y' because there is no 'de' here? 

Why is it essaye de when all the other verbs aren't followed by de? Also, why not essaie?

Pouvez-vous dire simplement "consigne" en lieu de "consigne à bagages"?

Elle a lu jusqu'à finir le livre. Is jusqu'à+ infinitive form of verb a correct expression. Should this sentence not be with ce que.

in the other avoir+verb lessons, it says that the verb does not need to agree with the subject's gender and number. Is that the case here too?

This sentence is in the past tense, but why didn't we use subjonctif passe?

1. Why is the tense different if you use "dès que" vs "aussitôt que"? In the text: Dès que nous étions rentrés de l'école (PC) Vs Aussitôt que nous étions de retour (Imparfait)?

2. Couldn't one say "Entre tous les joeux..." instead of parmi or de? Or is it "entre" only used when referring to two things (like between vs among)?

Why is j’ai de la farine correct when je n’ai plus de farine is also correct? Ie why is de la farine correct in the first sentence (per my last quiz?)
