Video above, On vs L'onOn the video, I feel the explanation for "on vs l'on" (minute 6:18) is not applicable. I don't believe this is an example of euphony, because there are occasions that we use qu'on (unlike va-t-il, a clear example of euphony, that is never without a "t"). So, I think in this phrase, the first "on" is indefinite, but in the second part, having a point of reference, it becomes definite. Am I correct on this?

Nationalités - majuscules ou pas; citoyenneté ou adjectif décrivant le pays d’où on vient? Il faut être plus claire ici. Merci!

I thought sortir needed to be followed by "de" to express the idea of "leaving".?

The quiz question was:

How would you say "They are leaving soon".

The two correct responses were:

Ils partent bientôt.

Ils sortent bientôt.

I didn't choose the one containing sortent because the "de" was missing and I took it to mean they are going out soon.

Could someone please clarify this.

les couples des autres

I'm a bit unsure why it should be 'couples des autres' rather than 'couples d'autres'...

ExcitéesI thought this word suggested sexual arousal and would not be appropriate in this situation. Is there an alternative word that would normally be used instead?
