Je vais au restaurant (near future?)

The question was what does the following mean: "Je vais au restaurant plus tard" and one of the answers I picked was, I will come to the restaurant later." It was marked wrong. But I just took a lesson on using the present tense to describe the near future. I'm confused.

Apprendre et enseigner

I have seen that the verb « apprendre » can mean both to learn and to teach in French. And I also know that « enseigner » can sometimes mean to teach (but in a narrower sense, and it can never mean to learn). My question is : Can one say in this exercise « je lui ENSEIGNERAI à être indépendante et forte » or is this just a wrong usage of this verb?

which is correct regarde-me or regarde-moi. I see examples of regarde-la in the lesson so it would be a do pronoun but I have seen regarde-moi as well

Qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça?D'habitude, quand vous avez introduit une nouvelle tournure comme <qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça>, j'aime bien essayer d'utiliser soit <en> soit <y>. Dans ce cas-ci, où on se trouve soit <en> soit <y> au lieu de <ça>. J'ai du mal à trouver où on met les deux mots. Autement dit, qu'est-ce qui te en fait penser ou qu'est-ce qui te fait en penser ou peut-etre on utile <y>. Penser à ou Penser de? Peut-etre ce n'est pas possible d'utiliser ni l'un ni l'autre. Merci d'avance. Don

"dans" not used when saying "in the morning" but is used when saying "in the afternoon"..

correct answers in weekend challenge:

qui devrait nous livrer les fleurs dans l'apres-midi

tu prendras ta voiture le matin

these seem to me to be the same sentence structure. Why is dans not used consistently? what about in the evening or night?

anyone able to help me understand?

thank you

À l’automne vs en automne vs l’automne ?

Bonjour, I see there’s an example with “à l’automne” in this lesson, but in another lesson specifically about seasons it says we can use en/le/la/l’ + été, automne, hiver and au + printemps so why is there à l’automne in this lesson? I’m confused.
