Couple of beginner questions

I've done a number of sites in html and am now venturing into php.

Can I create a page in html and insert php code that will work? (for
example, take an existing page and insert a date command)

Can I create a page with the php extension that contains only contains html
and no php? If so are there advantages/disadvantages?

Can I mix and match file formats (php/html) in a single site?

Thanks for any input.

Gary
