One option given here for "my flowery dress" is "ma robe a fleuris." Why not "ma robe fleuries"?
Il désire retourner A LYON. ….a) Il y désire retourner OR b) Il désire y retourner. Generally the pronoun precedes the infinitive, but at the same time we are told it should precede the verb it modifies. Could you please explain whether a) or b) is correct and why?
Hi. Would it also be correct if I had added the little pronoun “en” in this final sentence of the exercise.
i.e. “et nous en avons profité de chaque minute“, or “nous en avons apprécié chaque minute” or “nous en avons savouré chaque minute“ ? (I was trying to be very literal and trying to get the “of it” into the sentence instead of just “we enjoyed every minute”)
Thanks.

In this context, is suspecter inappropriate. I considered soupçonner but my dictionary gave it as a second choice. Are they not synonyms?
Le soir, la ville se réveillée.
Le soir, la ville se réveillait.
This is in the context of a visit to this city, which came alive in the evening. Until then the shops were closed and the streets empty. The text book answer was NOT in the imparfait. What is the rationale applied here?
...“et de lui acheter”. It seems to function like “et en lui acheter”, but for some reason “de” is the correct choice here.
