Asking questions

HI,

In this workbook I'm practicing in that I brought. I had to translate using inversion and vous if necessary. So the sentence was

When is she arriving in Nantes? I put Quand arrive -t-elle à Nantes but then their answer said I should've used à quelle heure.

Why should I use à quelle heure instead of quand when the question is asking when?

Thanks

why use du?

Bonjour,

I noticed that in the video attached above, sometimes du is used rather than de with retard, for example - J'ai eu du retard / Le train a du retard.

While in this lesson, it mentions that "avoir (5 minutes) de retard".

Is it when "avoir ... de retard" uses with no specific time, the "de" can change to "du" ?

Merci d'avance!
