Revenir vs Rentrer vs Retourner

Is there a lesson that helps us to understand the distinction between each of these three verbs (revenir, rentrer, retourner) and when one is used versus the other?

When is joli rather than beau the right word to use?

I was taught that a bâtiment is 'joli' not 'beau'. Is there a reason or rule that explains which adjective to use for different things?

Usage of "en tant que"

"Oui, je suis americain d'origine, mais en tant que vampire je n'ai pas de pays."

Could you discuss the usage of "en tant que" please? Is there a lesson related to this subject? From the context it is easy to discern the meaning, but I would like to learn more about the correct usage of this phrase and any other related phrases.

The position of "prochain/prochaine", relative to nouns.In the following sentence from a quizz: Aujourd'hui, les fantômes ________(choisissent) leur prochaine victime. - Why is "prochaine" positioned before the noun, please? Yet, if we say "next week", we say: "la semaine prochaine". Cheryl

un immeuble vs un bâtiment

Actually the good old fashioned dictionary is quite specific about the use of these words, and 'un immeuble' is most definitely 'a block of flats' and funnily enough not 'a block of apartments', but there again, it is a proper English (English) - French dictionary. Block of apartments - how pan loafy is that (translation-upper crust)
