Why is the imparfait used here and not the passé composé ? The author only wrote this once.
I just did a quiz and got an answer wrong. I answered d' in front of eau but the correct answer was de l'.
If that is the case, why do the French say carafe d'eau and not carafe de l'eau?

I'm confused as to why at the beginning of the exercise "Si je pouvais" is used, while at the end it's "Je pourrais". Would the conditional not be used in both cases as there's no guarantee of either action taking place, so both are hypothetical?
In this text we have : une petite Margarita , une grande pizza Quatre Fromages, and une petite Hawaïenne.
On the internet I am seeing a mix of Pizza names with capitalisation and without capitalisation (in French).
Should they be capitalised, or are both capitalised and uncapitalised names acceptable ?
Thanks

I struggle with when to use the imparfait. Why in the quizlet question "In 2004 I had money" was the correct answer "j'avais" rather than j'ai eu? It seems like this is a completed action in the past, not on-going? I get so confused...help!
