When I see the sentence, She smells good, does it mean she smells good (because she doesn't have a cold and her nose is working normally) or it is because she just took a bath (and she doesn't stink?).  Do both these meanings work for Elle sent bon?

"Can anybody help me?" I'm curious about why this inversion needs "il" after "peut"?  Is the non-inverted question form: Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider?

I have seen that the verb retourner is used with "Y

Nous y retournons demain.

 We go back there tomorrow

"Il n'a pas pu retourner de la guerre.

He couldn't return from the war.

 Can I say

 il n'en a pas pu retourner 

He couldn't return from there

Does it work like that?

Why did it change from "on" to "nous" in the last sentence?  Is it just more common with commands?

Just to be sure. Is it okay if I say, 

« Regardez cette fleur. C’est beau, n’est pas? » ?

What is the English for “ je me suis fait avoir comme un bleu.”

If talking about an electric car (fem) why wouldn't I say : c'est moins bruyantE? Correction says bruyant.

I thought I heard on the audio 'On a passé le samedi à nous baigner'. Can you say either se or nous here?
