Soudain vs. soudainement?

In this example, I am wondering why soudainement is not used (adding "ment" to the feminine version of an adjective).

I am looking at this sentence and soudain seems to be used as an adverb/is that why no "ment".  If so would you please provide me with an example where soudainement might be used?  Many thanks. 

On regardait les lucioles, et soudain toutes ont disparu.

Étudier verb conjugation and pronunciation

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?

H. asked about bel homme > beaux hommes"The first sentence uses 'bel homme'. Is that right? Should it not be 'beau homme' so the plural would be 'beaux hommes'?"

D'animaux vs DES animauxWhy is it "Elle n'aime pas d'animaux" rather than "Elle n'aime pas DES animaux"? I didn't think that it mattered if the noun started with a vowel when it was plural; it would alway become "des" and the 's' would be pronounced in front of the vowel sound.

prefix re as in rechercher, retrouver, Is there much difference between grouper & regrouper, chercher & rechercher, trouver&retrouver? The "re" prefix doesn't always seem to mean to redo as it would in english.

arriver, to manage, also uses être as the auxiliary verb?I answered the quiz using 'as arrivé' for 'managed', but it was marked wrong and this is the linked page. There are other verbs which sometimes and avoir and sometimes être depending on meaning. Do I correctly understand that with arriver it only uses être? Thank you, Terri
