Why for open the door slowly: it's "doucement" instead of "lentement"
I have a question about the pronunciation on the conjugation page of the verb étudier, I looked it up to understand the difference between present and imperfect of the nous and vous forms.
I found that it gives je étudie rather than j’étudie and that the il and on forms of "étudiait" are pronounced differently from "elle étudiait". Is this correct?

This might dive into various grammatical topics, but I can't seem to figure out what rules this sentence should follow:
Est-ce que c'est possible de réserver une table?
Est-il possible de réserver une table?
Which one is in this case grammatically correct and why? Could you both use them in different instances?
Shouldn't it be vous êtes entrés?
My dictionary gives 3 translations for cookie : biscuit, petite gâteau, and gâteau. I chose to use petit gâteau, which was marked incorrect. Since I can't see the cookie and don't really understand if there is a difference, perhaps according to shape or size, could someone elaborate on the nuances? I have gotten into trouble with this with my friend, who is a native French person, when I used biscuit for cookies that she prepared. Apparently, there is some disfunction unknown to me.
