"moins vingt" in 24 hour time?

A kwiz I took marked "seize heures moins vingt" as incorrect (correct answer "quinze heures quarante").Am I to understand that you can't use "moins" constructions for >12 hours at all? In this lesson you only mention "moins le quart" being wrong.

On peut aussi dire "du pont Saint-Martin"? Quand est-ce qu'on utilise "depuis" (from)? Ce sont des synonymes?

Leur vs LeursJ'écrirai à mes cousines. Je leur écrirai bientôt.I

As "cousines" is plural, is there a reason for saying leur instead of leurs?

Perhaps I have misunderstood the rule.

'En quoi tu t'es inscrite ?'

I understand that the preposition here has to be en but I can't really get to the bottom of why. Chris has said in this discussion that the form is 's'inscrire en qqch...' but I don't really see this supported by dictionaries where à and dans seem more commonly cited. Is it that the preposition comes before the word quoi ?

tous les samedis vs le samediBonjour,

I met this sentence: Tu y vas samedi? - J'y vais tous les samedis.

Could it also be: J'y vais le samedi?

Merci d'avance

Bonne lecture, mais....

"Halloween" est une fete americaine (meme si certains commencent a` l'adopter dans des endroits comme Paris ou` bcp d'americains vivent. Ca serait interessant de citer les fetes traditionnelles d'automne en France/ses regions ou les fetes dans des pays francophones, n'est-ce pas? Merci.
