je repars

tu repars

il / elle / on repart

nous repartons

vous repartez

ils / elles repartent

QUESTION: The lesson says: "Nous repartissons"? shouldn't it be "nous repartons"?

Is it always the case that while meeting a family member, or a friend, or an acquaintance, we have to use or instead of ? 

Also, what are the specific use-cases of the verb , instead of , that convey the same meaning as "make" in English?

Thank you!

Can someone please explain to me why passé composé has been used here? We are talking about past habits here.

The examples above are all in english, twice, with no french version.  What am I missing?

First of all, is it "Vas-tu retourner à faire tes devoirs" or "Vas-tu retourner faire tes devoirs".

 Then, can respond with "Oui, j'y retourne."

When visiting stores in Paris and the owner asks what I want, how do I say that I'm just looking.

Bonjour

I'm having a problem with this clause from a novel: "... sous les yeux cancres et rigolards de leurs jeunes amants."  I don't know what the word 'cancre' means here. I can only find a noun meaning 'dunce' but I cannot find in any dictionaries an adjectival definition or use as in this example. Help please.

Why in this sentence 'francaise' is omitted? The English text does contain the adjective 'French', that is to say

Pour moi, la meilleure joueuse de tennis française sera toujours Amélie Mauresmo.

I think there is a small mistake in the English text. Instead of 'The manager has just confirmed me that...' it has 'The manager had just confirmed me that...'

Is "le 3 septembre et je dois rentrer le 7 septembre" really what is said when played back.  I can't make out rentrer. The word sounds more like renpris.  I'm confused.  Just checking to verify.

Thank you
