conjugation with a named subject

I'm not clear on the rule for verb conjugation when the subject has a name e.g., James, and then what when 2 named subjects - James and Martha (mixed gender) are doing the same thing, does that differ in terms of conjugation rules? and then what about plural same gender or mixed group?

Greetings! Could someone please tell me why «On ne peut pas stationner ici» cannot be translated to “one cannot park here?” ...thank you!

We know that “on” has been explained to mean “one” (in general terms) just like in English, in which case in the sentence above it would mean “no one is allowed to park here, generally”. So I am confused by the fact that, the answer to the multiple choice questions did not include the above option as a valid answer :(

De in a name.

Just when I thought I had all this sorted ! In an English novel about a house in France, there are two old derelict buildings one formerly housed pigs and the other was formerly used for making bread. They nick named the first one la maison de cochons and the other la maison du pain. Why the de / du and not just de for both since they are just names ?

Fun fact for those Americans who began studying French in the early 60s

The first words I learned in French were the first words in my very first French textbook:

J'entre dans la salle de classe. Je regarde autour de moi.

Thank you for accepting that as an alternative answer.
