Why is it, "Elle a monté les escaliers..." and not "Elle est montée les escaliers"?

Hi, there are two options given: “lorsqu’on lui rendre visite” & “lorsque l’on lui rendre visite”. Is the extra “l” in the second one just to avoid the “qu’on” sound, or is it a pronoun with some grammatical meaning?

Is it 'des' because the reference is to some brown hair? I thought it always had to be:  les cheveux !

Also, DES lèvres fines ,  but DE dents blanches! Cecile's response below indicates that "de" = of,  while the 'des' related to thin lips means some?  Would really appreciate clarification.

For "I usually sit down in a corner" I wrote "D'habitude, je m'assois dans un coin". None of the four suggested solutions included "D'habitude" (or variants). Was I just plain wrong?

Thanks in advance.

hi im new here i just want to say hi

When n’avoir plus de is followed by countable object. Is the object always in plural form?

Je comprends pas la phrase ´faire doublon’. Mais je comprends parfaitement le mot doublon. Merci.

I don't understand how "Marie a manqué l'école" means "Marie didn't go to school". There isn't aller in the sentence so how does that work?

The exercise says "When the main verb is in the passé composé, it is followed by the passé composé or plus que parfait" so why, in the following example, is the passé composé followed by the present tense.
