Should “il l’interrompait” be “il l’interromprait”?

I think that the use of imparfait vs passe compose (sorry I don't know how to use accents on this keyboard) is a matter of opinion in several cases here.  For example, I used "achetait des croissants."  He did this regularly.  The answer is "a achete des croissants."  He did it once.  Either could be correct.  The same with "est devenu une nouvelle personne."  Did this happen at once or did it happen continuously?  Judging by some other comments, I am not the only one who thinks either tense could be used in some cases.

Why does verb "faiblissent" agree with "bougies" and not "la lumière?   La lumière des bougies"?

Salut, pourquoi est-ce on utilise "etre" au lieu d'avoir dans la phrase dessous:

"je me suis soudain rendu compte que..."

Why is it when I asked to be 'kwizzed' on just this lesson, included in the quizz are questions from all of my 'recommended lessons'?  How do I go about finding a quiz with just 'question word' questions in order to give me extra practise with question words?

Thanks for your help........Thirza

In the examples, to know a recipe uses connaître. When used in the quiz for pumpkin pie recipe, connaître is wrong and saviour given as correction. Please elucidate.

I said "Grâce à sa bonté et à sa joie de vivre" instead of "Grâce à sa gentillesse et à sa joie de vivre" and was marked wrong. Isn't "bonté" French for "Kindness"? Thanks.
