Using possessive de when owner is not a proper name

I keep messing up on the possession concept. The lesson covers possession using proper names, but does not mention rule for non-proper noun, example, the girl's pen (unless I missed something). The correct way is apparently the pen of the girl, le stylo de la fille, and not le stylo de fille. Can you add a note to the lesson to accentuate this, such as found on Lawless site, https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/possessive-de/

Use of partitive before a Singular Adjective preceding a Singular Noun

In this situation, how is the partitive used? Is it optional? E.G.

C'est un bon gâteau. OR C'est de bon gâteau. OR C'est du bon gâteau. ??

Merci d'avance .

mettre vice porter

I am guessing that the verb "mettre" was chosen over "porter" because the latter had already been used twice; otherwise "porter" would have been an acceptable choice in "...toutes mes tenues de soirée en même temps. " Am I right?

Use of “marque”I''m wondering if there is a lesson already in Kwiziq that might help me with my confusion around the use of "marque" below in sentences I read elsewhere:

1. C'est une marque de voitures anglaise

2. Nous désirons acheter une voiture d'une marque anglaise

The What are the rules of placing marque relative to voiture and anglaise? Why is there repetition of "une" in #2 to refer to each noun (voiture/marque), when there is no such repetition in #1? I was expecting to see "Nous désirons acheter une voiture de marque anglaise" (similar to the structure in #1). Thanks for your help! Rod

Why imparfait in the si clause?

In a sentence with a main clause and a si clause, the first uses the conditionell and the second the imparfait. For example, Je partirais si j'avais une voiture. Would it not make more sense to use the conditionelle for the si clause as well? After all, it also expresses a hypothetical situation. Why the different modes in the main clause and the si clause?

ce qui

"Fais attention à tout ce qui se passe." - why here uses "ce qui"? Isn't it refer to "tout" which should use "qui"?
