Article indéfini
Bonjour ! Je sais qu'on utilise les indéfinis quand il y a un adjectif près de nom. Mais dans cet exemple-ci:
Je l'ai fait par une curiosité de savant.
Est-ce qu'on peut expliquer l'utilisation de "une" comme ça ? Les mots "de savant" dans ce contexte ont un rôle d'un adjectif ?

Prepositions in/at
I need to insert either in or at in this sentence:
"We arrived at the airport ... good time for the plane."
Considering a common phrase "in the right place at the right time", there should be "at" in the gap. Am I right?

Tom should know it.

Why do we say...
"I will be back at 8.30"
Why don't we use present continuous (I'm being back at 8.30) ? It's an arrangement, right?
Or is it just because it sounds weird? :)
