Une Peintre ou une Peinture

"Une peintre" and "une peinture"

Meaning of the above two words is the same which is "a Painting"......Am I correct....if yes then what's the French for "a painter"?

Tu aimes la couleur violette ? Oui, ________ est très joli!This is a test question. I wrote "elle" and the valid answer is c' . OK, I get it, "joli" is masculine so elle is not appropriate, but shouldn't it be possible to say "oui, elle est très jolie"?

Certains d'entre eux voulaient au cinéma.Bien que j'étudie le français pendant plus que deux ans, j'ai toujours un problème avec l'imparfait et le passé composé. Ma questionne est pourquoi avez-vous utilisé l'imparfait au lieu de le passé composé. Ou sont-elles tous les deux une possiblité dans cette phrase. Au fait, <au lieu de le passé composé> ne me paraît pas d'être correct...dans mon avis.

I see no difference between "he only ate sweets" and "he ate sweets only". I have only encountered " que" after the past participle before the object
