Marcel sera rentré d'ici une heure.Je comprends qu'on veut dire qu'il sera rentré chez lui <within et by>. Mais, je ne crois pas qu'il soit une difference entre les deux. On dit en anglais, il sera rentre chez lui dans une heure...? Ça veut dire <he will be home in one hour ou quoi?

Why was I marked wrong for 'S'il te plaît' and the alternative was 'S'il vous plaît'?

I know they differ in formality, but they have the same basic meaning of 'please'. Much confusion!

Excessive use of exclamation marks

Does anyone else find an over use of the exclamation marks ? I don’t take off marks if I don’t put in as many as given in the answers. Is this a particular French thing?

"It is twenty-five past nine." The answer: Il est neuf heures vingt-cinq. But why isn't "Il est vingt et un heures vingt-cinq" a valid answer?

Nul vs. inutile

I notice that 'nul' is used in the response for 'useless' in the passages yet 'inutile' is accepted as the preferred translation in the explanatory paragraph at the end. Why is this so?
