Why is the sujet not sa peau ?

why is "complimentaient" conjugated for des lèvres et cheveux as the subject ?  

Hi,

In the sentence 'On avait  alors,ouvert les rideaux pour découvrir, éberlués..etc'

Why is 'éberlués' not singular to agree with'on'.

Is it because plurality is implied?

Is there a lesson on this to clarify?

Thanks

In the question:  "Regarde! Elle bâille! Quelqu'un est ________ ."  I chose "fatigué", and was marked wrong, claiming I had put "bâillé", (which I didn't.) Why?

Could someone explain the use of the definite article "les" before "deux tiers" in the following example from this lesson:

Les invités ont mangé les deux tiers du gâteau.  The guests have eaten 2/3 of the cake.

Thank you.

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?

The English sentence is: Fantastic! I can't wait to try my new skis.

Why is it - J'ai hâte d’essayer mes nouveaux skis. When the English is negative.

I had " Je n'ai pas hâte d’essayer mes nouveaux skis.

Qu’est-ce que c’est « un plaid »? Est-ce une couverture ?

Why "de Hong Kong" and not "d'Hong Kong" ? Is it because city name consists of two words ?
