Aller or entrer and rentrer or revenir

In the avoir/être test for "he went" I put "il est allé" and for "I went back" I put "je suis rentré" Both were marked incorrect, why?

Why is être used in this example she is sitting

In this example why is the verb to be present? Elle est assise au coin de la cheminée.

With être, rentré gets a letter S in the plural sentence, but not with avoir. Is it a rule?

Why use indicative passe simple? (sorry can`t insert an accent).Elle courait quand le bus arriva. Arriva to my knowledge is not spoken, therefore would this be the format in a written report?

ça vs le or la

I have often found that when they use something like "de ne pas faire ça" I have used "de ne pas le faire". Is this incorrect usage? Or just another alternative?

pointe le bout de son nez

Bonjour Cécile

I thinker "pointe" here is the verb "pointer", usually we user the finger to point, I can not imagine the sun points its nose tip since usually we think the sun has only the face.
