Use present perfect tense for questions?

Just wondering if we can use the preterite tense for questions or if the present perfect tense is the only option. There are two examples of questions, both using the present perfect tense: ¿Tú has montado en globo? ¿Has jugado al golf alguna vez?

Thanks.

The richer [you are], the more miserable [you'll be]."

Why are these adjectives plural? (They are adjectives, right?)

Hasta el amanecen

Is there a lesson that deals with how to pronounce when two words one ending with a vowel and another beginning with a vowel. It seems that in this case it is pronounced hasta-l amanecer... is it correct that the latter vowel is omitted?

The position of pronounsIn the example,

Al haberse portado tan mal, lo expulsaron del colegio.

the pronoun se came right after haber not after portado nor in front of haber.

This is different from any other rules I knew, like:

Me lo dijo. Me lo ha dicho. Dímelo ! Quiero dárselos.

So which rule applies to this ?
