j'ai commencé à voir quelques petits boutons

Why is there passe compose and not l'imperfait? 

"Faisant le mur" ... une métaphore intéressante!

How do I remember the where adverbs come either after or before the verb.

Why we are using the passe compose here? Isnt it describing the situation?

In the correction list offered, I was surprised to see "Le dimanche".

Is there a particular reason why this is correct here since the text implies only the one Sunday, not all Sundays?

Hello, in the first example mentioned

"I saw magnificent places"

The answer in french is "J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques."

Why is it "des" here instead of d'endroits ??

For example : Can « Ainsi le nom » mean « that’s why the name.»?

Why do you say je ne joue pas du piano instead of je ne joue pas de piano? Is this correct and if so why, please?

I was marked wrong for typing the latter response. Is this because the subject (nous) does not change? Therefore the second part of the sentence must remain in the infinitive?

Can someone distinguish for me the difference between the French cookie, petit gâteau, and biscuit.  Does it depend on size or thickness?
