So is this test question response: "Malgré la fumée, il commença à mieux respirer." a time when we should use passé simple when saying something?

How do you form inverted questions in passè composé using the object pronouns y and en?For instance, if you want to ask, "Did he go there?" Or how about, "Did they take any?"

Fireworks. Singular vs plural.

Fireworks is translated in this lesson as "le feu d'artifices" but in this page https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/studylists/view/946769 it is translated as "le feu d'artifice". In Larouse online it is translated as "le feu d'artifice" too. The Kwiziq writing challenge about Bastille Day also uses "le feu d'artifice".

But elsewhere on the web I can see examples with "les feux d'artifices" and even "les feux d'artifice". So all 4 possibilities of singlular and plural for both the noun and adjective are covered.

Are all of these variations correct?

I think you are mixing adjectives and pronouns

Toute la journée, mon chat dort.

Here, toute is an adjective not a pronoun, I believe.
