J’ai traduit le mot, ’squint’, par ’loucher’ au lieu de ’plisser les yeux’. Le dictionnaire cite tous les deux comme acceptable, mais l’exercice accepte seulement le deuxième. Pourquoi ?

Why "On est passés par la?For the question:
On ________ passés par là ? Did we pass this way?
the answer is On siesta passes par la? Why isn't it On est passé par là?
The plural passes seems wrong to me.

Rule not clear enough

In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.

Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:

C'est le fils de Martha

Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?
