    The first one is correct, though I would use commas for greater clarity.

    The second one is wrong, because you use "mes amis" - which is plural - and then say "il reste chez eux". That means "he stays at their place". I'm pretty sure you can figure out the mistake there.

    Mes amis vont souvent au marché mais aujourd'hui il fait froid et ILS RESTENT chez eux.

    You have to ask two questions:

    1) WHO stay at home ? your friends (mes amis is the subject)

    2) HOW MANY they are ? More than one, so several ones. (so its plural form)

    Your first sentence is quite correct except that one should punctuate it with a comma after NAPPE.

    The second one would read ILS RESTENT, plural of THEY replacing HE/SHE as in IL.

    The verb RESTE then acquires third person of the plural form :NT and becomes RESTENT.

    Have a good day.

    What is "frluent"?

    No.

    Well, you are talking about MES AMIS, RIGHT???? IL is HE. Reste is the HE form of Rester...

    Try saying THEY stay.
