Je suis retourné me coucher après que tu es parti.Il faut que je rie. J'ai écrit <je suis retourné me coucher après que tu t'en es allé. Bien sûr, cela avait tort.

Certains d'entre eux voulaient au cinéma.Bien que j'étudie le français pendant plus que deux ans, j'ai toujours un problème avec l'imparfait et le passé composé.

The translation for 'we arrived' is given in the imparfait but surely it should be in the Passé composé as they arrived only 'once' and not as the imparfait implies 'used to arrive' meaning they arrived on a regular basis i.e. more than just on the one occasion.

Could you please explain.

When we arrived in the changing rooms,

Quand nous arrivions dans les vestiaires,
