Bonjour, 

Some of these sentences seem to have accordance, like the final "s" added to the end of apporter in "Il les leur a apportés"

How do you decide which of the object pronouns the verb is supposed to be in accordance with? 

Thsee are what I think are correct:

Je veux le café = I want the coffee

Je veux le café = I want coffee

Je veux du café = I want some coffee

Ils veulent des cafés = They want coffees

Ils veulent du café = They want some coffee

ILS veulent le café = They want coffee

Ils veulent de café = They want a coffee.

I think these are all correct grammar, depending on the situation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

How do you say "from the ..."?  My guess would be "DE LA ...".  However, this can only mean some.  What do I do?

When do I use un, une, des, le, la, l', les, du?

On a quiz, 'Marie avait deux heures d'avance' was not considered correct. But in the lesson on timeliness, 'early -> avoir [5 minutes] d'avance' was given as a rule. I must be looking right past something here.

Why is it "Il achète du pain"? I think bread is countable so it should be "Il achète des pains" 

Isn’t company “entreprise”? Thank you for answering. 

Why is "était fait" used in a compound verb structure when avoir is normally used w/ faire?

Why use être here instead of avoir?

One of the test questions reads “Il les a tous lus”. I don’t understand why it is not “Il les a tous lu”. Thanks
