Is it absolutely wrong to use est-ce que to form a question using names? Thanks.

Why are these 2 words "fascine and intimide" not written in the passé composé.
Je suis une sage-femme, je rencontre mes clients à la réception et ensuite nous allons dans la salle d’examen, est-ce que je pourrais dire " allons-y" ?
I would love to be able to REPLAY short segments of this piece so well delivered by Gruff. This way, I can practice words and shorter sections at a time until I gain confidence with both pronunciation and meaning. I was disappointed to find, that I was committed to hearing the play in its entirety (which is quite long), with only pauses available.
Thanks Kwiziq for ending my search for reading and listening material online.
I am confused by the quizzes I am taking on when to use "devoir" and "avoir un besoin de" for "need to". The first question was: "How could you say 'You need to rest?'" I answered that both "Tu as besoin de repos" and "Tu dois de repos" are possible but was told only the first is correct. So, in the second test, when asked how to say "Marie needs to buy a new handbag", I answered only "Marie a un besoin de ..." but was marked wrong for not ALSO choosing "Marie doit acheté..." Finally, on the third quiz, I was asked how to say "You need a new bike." In this case I chose both "avoir besoin de" and "devez..." but this time, like in the first question, I was told only the "avoir besoin de" is correct. I've studied the lesson several times. It says sometimes "devoir" can mean "need to" but it doesn't explain what those times are, and I cannot figure out any distinction in the three sentences above. Aidez moi, svp!
