Why is it quarter to seven and not 7:45 PM?

HI,

I have been reading the responses to the questions below. Am I correct to assume that the way to use the indefinite articles with negation is if it's a general statement?

For example. 

J'aime ni le café ni le thé 

Je veux ni fromage ni oignon

Merci

Nicole

Interesting to read but I'm getting a bit stuck on "l'on" as in "il ne faut pas que l'on nous voie".  Why is the "l' " necessary? What does it refer to?

Il faut que je vous recommande l’appreniez le français, car c’est très intéressant et ça vous ouvre l’esprit. Ensuite, lorsque vous alliez en France, vous pouvez parler leur langue maternelle et avoir aussi une meilleure connaissance de leur culture. Ce serait une expérience incroyable.

I really enjoy these exercises and they really assist in learning and improving my french.

Is it possible to see the "full" English translation? Without having to do the exercise again and each phrase separately.

This would help me to view the English translation and see where I deferred but also cement some expressions.

Thank you

Why is it les for his pockets? I understand it has to be les for hands as is a body part,  but why not ses poches?

What are the different usages of habiter and vivre

Rafraichir has not been updated to accept 'rectified' spelling yet - still correcting to rafraîchir.

je vais mettre mes valises dans le compartiment. Et leurs valises à eux? Mettez les leurs dans le compartiment aussi.  

Why “à eux” at the end of second sentence please?
