Is this a good summary?

Been looking at this for a long time. Conclusion is if you want to write a sentence using a/the/my , Or making a general opinion then use c'est. Otherwise use I'll/Elle est to make a specific opinion towards something/someone if there is no a/the/my in the sentence?

bonjour!.

"Ils avaient fait..."

"Il avait fait..."

These two sentences sound same. Is there a way that we can understand the correct sujet?

l'année où Hitler est né....that would be a precise time an action took place, right? The lesson confirms that such a date would be an, not année.

Why is it not le sens d'humour? I understand that one uses the article when generalizing but how would this be different than fonctionnaire d'État,

The reason given for the imparfait in "mes mains n'arrêtait pas de trembler" is continuing action, but the lesson teaches that continuing action

would translate as: mes mains were not stopping trembling. I get very confused over this particular usage. Most of the use of imparfait that I get wrong are due to this rule. Could you explain it better?
