If we say "cette jupe" instead of "la jupe"

Bonjour. If I were to say "cette jupe coute 30 euros" instead of "la jupe coute 30 euros", would the exclamation then be (for example, a friend reacting to it) "c'est cher" or "elle est chere?"

Why these -er verbs need to be put in different single lessons?

se laver; se lever; se réveiller; s'amuser etc.

these words doesn't have anything special, do they?

Why not put them in the same lesson?

I've seen: imparfait or passé composé ?

Why is "I've seen the neighborhood evolve" translated passé composé instead of imparfait? "I've seen" describes something that happens over time and is not ended, it's continuous and I'm not done seeing. Isn't that the case for imparfait?

Could someone help me learn how to form plurals in this particular case?

When a noun ends in -ou, I've read that it can be followed by both -s and -x, (des bisous, des bijoux) so, how can you know if it should be -s or -x ?

Nous mettrons la table ...

My petit quiz question was Nous mettrons la table ... which was translated as "We'll lay the table ..." In the US, we use "set" not "lay," the latter having an uncomfortable connotation!

Why not “ses” as the possessive?

I’m confused about why the possessive of “Ils” in this lesson is “se“ rather than “ses“?
