Does this convention only work when talking about full thousands/millions/billions? What if you want to say 12,505 things or 1,350,000 things?

What is the rule for capitalisation here? The Cirque in the first line is capitalised but in the last line is marked incorrect when capitalised.

I don't know if this was just a glitch, but during the exercise in the acceptable answers for "I made my pumpkin pie", the option audio says "J'ai fait ma tarte à la citrouille" but the option text says "J'ai fait ma tarte à citrouille".

'But at the moment I was putting it on' - how does that translate to 'mais au moment de l'enfiler' - where's the 'I' and why is it in present tense?
