vous retourne/s

Hi Chris,

WOW! I never knew there was an option when using vous. Figured since the vous (subject pronoun) imposed the plural second person it would ALSO impose the plural past participle. Is it grammatically wrong to use 'retournes' in this case... even though you are only using the vous form for politeness. In other words wouldn't you be allowed a pass based on grammar.

Why is "Mais ils sont venus me dire bonjour plus tôt" marked wrong in favor of "Mais ils sont venus me dire bonjour toute à l'heure?"

The use of "assez" confuses me.

Pls is "assez" still serving as adverbe in a sentence where 'être' is used. - "Ma Ville est assez banale". Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire, s'il vous plaît?

A note on voir + -cevoir

It is worth noting that the verb "voir" and verbs ending in -cevoir do not follow the same irregular pattern.
