Elles sont restées à les regarder une dizaine de minutes

A similar question has been asked but I dont understand why "à" is needed when "regarder" means "to watch"? So why is the extra "à" needed? I couldn't find anything that says "rester" is followed by "à" anywhere?

Une Nourriture

Not exactly related to the lesson but one of my quizzes had the sentence: “Je mangeais une nourriture très riche.”

I’m wondering why “une” was used here and not the partitive article “de la”, especially since it’s an unquantified amount of food? This was confusing to me.

Encourager in context of "to support a team"

I think you should also allow "j'encourage" for "I support" ? (For sentence: je soutiens le club de ma ville).

Why do we use C'est when talking about a specific pencil case?

For this statement: "Est-ce ta trousse? - Oui, c'est la mienne."

Why are we using "c'est" if it is about a specific item (the pencil case). In the previous lesson, if we know exactly what we're talking about we should use il/elle.

Thanks
