Thinking SpainWhich one is more appropriate?(the phrase 'the bookstore' can't be changed)
a) When does Robert get out of the bookstore?
b) When does Robert leave the bookstore?

I think it depends on the context.

During work hours, Robert gets out of the bookstore for his break (When does Robert get out of the bookstore?), and when he's finished his work and wants to go home, he leaves the bookstore (When does Robert leave the bookstore?).

Thinking SpainWhich one is more appropriate?
a) Who is going out of the house now?
b) Who is leaving the house now?

Same thing here:

Robert is going out of the house (now) to check for new mail in the mailbox across the street. (Who is going out of the house now?).
Robert is leaving the house (now) to his work (Who is leaving the house now?).
