Thanks Aurelie. This is much easier to follow.
Can infinitif passé be used with avant de under some circumstances?
Here's an example sentence from my French class:
Il n'ira pas jouer avec ses amis avant d'avoir fini ses devoirs.
The question was to correctly conjugate the verb finir in the bolded place; I'd written finir (infinitif présent) in the first place.
I am trying to understand why one needs to ad the D' in the sentence D'où venez-vous?
why not simply say : Où venez-vous? Why is the de important here?
Why isn't 'une form d'identité' correct?

It would be prettier if there were more flowers
Ce serait s'il y avait plus de fleurs is the answer again here they used serait as would be prettier. Why is that?
Thanks for the help in advance

I understand both are used to indicate my, however, I’m not sure when to use one over the other
