On = we, one, people

In the lesson, there are two examples given:

1. Nous sommes gentils

2. On est gentils

In the second example, why is there “s” on the end of gentils? Should it not be gentil - since “on” is 3rd person singular?

à plusieurs reprises instead of plusieurs fois ?

"à plusieurs reprises" was not permitted for "several times", is it an incorrect answer in this context ?

Thanks

English Tenses

I'll be right there in English is actually the use of the future continuous tense, as is I'll be there in two seconds. I'll is a contraction of I WILL.
Not a good example for using the present tense in English.
