the same boots - les même bottes. But I thought French usually had the word order "les bottes même" like the usual French 'noun adjective word order' and même would follow this pattern... mais non... is there an easy rule/way to remember for which words come before or after the noun? Merci

I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence. Please comment.
The lesson says "Note that while the forms de hauteur, de longueur, de largeur can also be used (though less commonly), you can NEVER say de profond."
Surely it would make more sense to say "Note that while the forms de haut, de long, de large are more common than de hauteur, de longueur, de largeur, you can NEVER say de profond."
Why wasn't on se voit used for "see you this week-end ?"
Surely for cars that are "theirs" that is plural and should be "les leurs"?
Should there not be an apostrophe "their's" to denote a single person and therefore allow "la leur"?
Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible), "Cette écharpe lui va" would be a correct way to say "This scarf suits them" because it's not clear from the English sentence if "them" is plural (group of people) or singular (someone whose gender isn't known/specified), right? Or is that too much of Anglo interpretation?
The correct answer was listed as "Cette écharpe leur va".
What is the difference between pour and de l'ordre à?
I cannot see this type of structure in the exercise examples…

Il ________ le contraire pendant quinze ans. He will have been claiming the contrary for fifteen years.(HINT: Conjugate "prétendre" (to claim) in Le Futur Antérieur)
The English text says "I crossed the Garonne river...", but the French text uses "nous" throughout. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/VIvVD4V
Surely it is le mien? Please explain
