So a sentence like "My friends came and they were all happy," can be translated in two different ways?

Mes amis sont venus et tous étaient contents.

Mes amis sont venus et ils étaient tous contents.

Is this then just a stylistic difference, or do these differ semantically as well? 

Quizzes and tests can be taken only for a week on trial mode? I mean regular tests, not brainmap stuff, etc.

when tested on a multiple quiz the selections were 'Moi et toi avons compris la même chose.' or Toi et moi avons compris la même chose.'  I chose Moi et toi and was incorrect.

hi 

i'm getting confused when to use le/la and lui as a direct pronoun. I understand that le /la is he /she and lui to him or to her but is there a list of verbs which take lui as a direct translation from English is not always obvious

I assume this is an optional liaison?  I notice on the verbal pronunciation there is no liaison, but there is on the sentence "nous avons entendu..."

I'm surprised it's not a required liaison actually, as it seems like it would fall into that category based on my intermediate level french knowledge.

Merci d'avance pour la clarification.

Pourquoi les mots "jeudi et vendredi" sont-ils pluriels alors que les autres jours sont singuliers (le lundi, le mardi, le mercredi)?  All of the activities seems to be habitual ones that occur on that day of the week -- even the ones on Thursdays and Friday
