Why I was wrong with imparfait?

This was the sentence: Vous veniez me voir chaque semaine.

Two of the options for the answer are "You used to come and see me every week." and "You had come to see me every week." 

Same idea with this sentence: Nous allions en Espagne tous les etes. (Sorry, don't know how to get the accents on my keyboard).

Two of the options for the answer are "We used to go to Spain every summer." and "We were going to Spain every summer."

For me, in both situations the two answers mean the same thing and were both correct but I had to pick one. l don't understand how they are different and why one is correct and the other isn't. I'm guessing it's a subtle nuance I'm missing. Can you please explain? Thanks!

Why not "en Afrique" rather than "pour l'Afrique"?

Hi why is subjonctif after "quelque chose que vous puissiez poser contre l'arbre". Is there any rule for that ?

Similarly, descendre d'un escalator or descendre un escalator?

Can we say go up/go down 1 floor in French:

Monter/descendre un étage  

Thank you.

Hello.. having problems getting  the pronunciation of this phrase.. hearing it as sache and not getting the "iez" of the subjunctive 

Why is étrange before the noun here? In the other example answers, it comes after.

This exercise uses que in two places I don't understand.  First, ¨Alors que je traversais un coin...¨  Second ¨J'ai attendu que la depanneuse arrive.¨  I think "alors que" means while.  It seems the second usage should be "jusqu'á."  I have never seen que used that way. 

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what 'Qu'est-ce que vous avez de bon aujourd'hui?' actually means?

I have known French for years but I am not familiar with this term.

Please can someone help?

Thank you
