C'est le vin le plus sec que l'on puisse trouver. À quoi se réfère le pronoun l'?

Hello, if "la perruque" is female, why its "noir"  and not "noire"?

The text talks about shopping last weekend, not last week.  Would it not be more precise to translate " last weekend" to "le week-end dernier" ?  Why was this was not permitted ?

where does the 'd' before 'y' come from

She seized his wrist is translated.."Elle lui saisait le poignet."  Why is the "lui" there?

Please provide further explanation about the phrase "Peut-être qu'elle est allée dire bonjour..."  I believe that in English, we would write it, "Perhaps she went to say 'Hello' ..."  Why does French not have quote marks around something that is said?  For example, how would you write the following in French:  The farmer said, "I'm going into town to buy a cat."?

Qu'est-ce qu'une galatte

Hi, i've noticed in some sentences like 'Demain, on doit se lever tôt' they use Lever instead of Leve, when should i be using Lever.
