Why is the weekday pluralized at " tous les mercredis? "I was taught earlier that you're not allowed to pluralize weekdays like that. Is it because of the tous les structure? Also, I think it'd help if the lesson advised you to pretend the subject pronoun is there before the verb but after the person name to make conjugating easier: " Jean and I, we went to the cinema = Jean et moi (nous) sommes alles au cinema. "

Why the article "le" before "on" in "Et l'on entend la même chanson, oh !"?Obviously, my question is not related to the current subject. However, since the sentence is used in this lesson, I figured it would be ok to present it here. In any case, I have yet to run into this construction in my lessons. Can someone point me in the right direction perhaps? Thank you.

Why can you use inversion with nouns in this expression?According to the lesson 'Forming inverted questions with names, things and emphasis', you can't use inversion with nouns (for example, 'Vient Sophie?'); you need to add a pronoun ('Sophie vient-elle?'). But here in the examples we see 'Comment vont tes enfants?' and 'Comment va Paul?'. Why isn't it 'Comment tes enfants vont?' or 'Comment tes enfants vont-ils?' Is this a peculiarity of this particular expression, or are there other cases where inversion can be used with nouns with no pronoun?
