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.

Remater and Reregarder

I can't find either of these verbs in this form in any source, yet they are given as options for 'rewatch'. Although mater (already listed as 'very familiar' in Larousse and as 'argot' by the Academie-Française) and regarder are listed, neither shows up anywhere in 're' form ? Is this just slang - adding re- to any base verb as needed ?

Can you explain their origin and why they would be acceptable here ?

Vas te coucher

I had "Vas te coucher" as my translation of "Go to bed". It is listed in the example as a correct translation. Can you tell me why it was marked as incorrect please.

Are these terms pronouns that can stand alone, or must they be followed by a noun?
