I have often noticed that sentences in French begin with 'Et'. Is this considered 'good' French, as in English it would be considered very poor grammar?

Furthermore, I have often noticed the use of a comma before 'et'. Once again, in English this would be considered poor grammar. Is this optional or required in French?

I look forward to your response.

Thank you for your fantastic lessons!

I am very confused by the meaning of 'Je n'ai plus qu'à toucher ta bille'

I looked it up so know that it means "I just have to touch your marble" but can this be explained on how it means that? Why is plus included in this ?

Thanks!

Louis et toi, Francis, vous êtes rencontrés il y a trois ans. Why not use avoir?Louis et toi, Francis, vous êtes rencontrés il y a trois ans.

Why use être here instead of avoir?

Leur histoire v leurs histoires

Why would we use « leur histoire » for « their stories »? It is confusing because some of your alternative phrases use « leurs histoires »and some use « leur histoire ». Is there a lesson on this?
