Can someone explain why the first verb in the extract is in the perfect, while the second (and subsequent) are in the imperfect? They all seem to be describing the continuing circumstances, which calls for the imperfect as I read this: Expressing opinions and describing with the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)

"Une délicieuse viande grillée"

I can't find anything in the rules for adjective placement explaining the placement of "délicieuse" before "viande" instead of between "viande and grillée.

I took a quiz. I translated "They are calling their dog" as Ils appellent leur chien. However, the correct answer was: Ils s'appellent leur chien. How does one know when to use the reflexive?

Why is it sur ordre and not sure l'ordre de Napoléon 

This lesson gets confusing because of the incorrect English usage of whom. The lesson actually states 'Whom does someone meet?" That is incorrect. it is "who does someone meet?" or " you went to meet whom?"

Just google who vs whom. plenty of explanations there

In which lesson can I find the future simple conjugation of Prévoir? It seems to have a different pattern than explained in this lesson for VOIR or REVOIR. Isn't it a VOIR derivative. Please help.

When I wrote 's'il vous plaît' (i.e. with a circumflex on the second 'i'), it was, to my mind, mis-corrected in the answer, which suggested that I should remove the circumflex.

Can we use possessive adjectives instead of the definite articles? Why not? 

- Pourquoi ma chatte s'est-elle léché sa patte ? [Why did my cat lick HER paw?]

- Tu te laves tes mains? [Are you washing YOUR hands?]

- Il se lave ses cheveux. [He's washing HIS hair.]

It is a little confusing, could you please explain?
