Thank you Caliptrix, that was very useful!!

By the way, for point 7, I did mean that the bear built( yaptı ) the fire, rather than lit( yaktı ) it (of course, the bear probably also lit the fire, so "ayı ateş yaktı" is true!).

Could one still say "ateş yapmak" for putting together the fuel before the fire is lit, like the English "to build a fire"?
