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.

on is a singular for we. It takes an auxillary verb in the singular; therefor the past participle should be single also so it should be on est allé

Nitpicking correction to the textWhere you write "In order to turn a sentence from active to passive voice, the tense of the auxiliary être must be the same as the tense of the main verb of the active sentence," shouldn't you instead say "the auxiliary VERB" or "the auxiliary VERB ÊTRE/AVOIR", especially since the examples that follow use "avoir" and not "être."
