Is there topic on negative with "Il ya a" Can't seem to find it.

How do you determine which conjugated form of the verb do you use in sentences such as "Jean et moi sommes allés au cinéma.".  It appears the conjugated form of the verb with nous has been used. I cannot understand why this is.

There isn't a correction while I wrote the test for the section "peut-être au cafe à côté de la boulangerie" It just shows you at the end where it presents the whole text.

The phrase I saw: 

Je suis tout à fait satisfait du cadeau que j’ai trouvé pour Sarah. Je l’ai emballé dans DU JOLI PAPIER et je lui donnerai ce soir.

Here the "du joli papier" I thought it is not preceded by any "de" preposition. "emballer dans" is the preceding phrase. So why is DU used here? A mistake?

I understood from the lesson that one could say,

Qu'est-ce que c'est la Sorbonne? or Qu'est-ce que la Sorbonne? but the answer of the quiz gives the first answer as wrong and the second correct? Have I missed something or are they both correct?
