She'll be back in 5 minutes

OK so I selected "Elle va revenir dans cinq minutes" as in she is going to come back in 5 minutes.

However the correct answer was "Elle revient dans cinq minutes".

Are these not both correct, I mean apart from being word perfect?

En 1969, on est part / parties a la conquete de la LuneWhy is the subjunctive given in this same test question answer as "parties" in one kwiz and "parti" in another on subsequent days?! On est obviously is "we", but there is no indication of genders(s) of "We" so why was this parties yesterday and parti today?!

Je n'y aurais jamais pensé moi-même Here, i wrote "Je n'y aurais jamais pensée moi-même" because i thought back to "l'idée (f)" or "l'activité principale (f) previously mentioned. Is this a thought too far ?

Liaison with œufs en chocolat

I'm curious about the liaison in œufs en chocolat. I think I heard the F linked. I would likely have linked the S instead. Could you explain this please?

With or without indefinite article ??

Why should I say "Je suis UN oncle" instead of "Je suis oncle"? I shall say "Il est président / prof / boulanger", always omitting the indefinite article. Is it different for family relations? Thanks in advance for any help.

My Cv spoke for itself - shouldn't it be "speaks for itself" to match your French translation?

In this paragraph, the English sentence was "My CV SPOKE for itself" but the French was in the present tense. Mon CV parle de lui-même. Is this a mistake or am I missing something?
