Does this convention only work when talking about full thousands/millions/billions? What if you want to say 12,505 things or 1,350,000 things?

Why is le petit-déjeuner (with hyphen) marked wrong?

Regarding this sentence:

Marie, quelle idée fantastique tu as eue

Why does the past participle eue agree here? Is it the case of the subordinate clause with que?

Should the sentence be:

Marie, quelle idée fantastique QUE tu as eue

Each of these expressions are translated using 'du'.  In English, both are possessive.  In the first case, we are talking about a place, so I can rationalize the use of 'du' instead of 'de'.  In the second case, I have more of a problem.   It seems like a simple use of the possessive which I think would call for 'de' instead of 'du'.  Can I get some guidance here?  Thanks.

Hello,

I have a tiny question. If I want to say "I thought about her", should I use:

a) Je lui ai pensée

b) J'ai pensé à lui

c) J'ai pensé à elle

Because I notice that for verb + de, we can use "penser d'elle" (think of her), so for the case verb + à, can we use à + pronouns as well (option b,c)? Can we use "elle" instead of "lui" for such case? Finally, can we use option b) instead of a)?

Qu'est-ce c'est la différence en français entre "he made the dish, which she loved" (she loved that he made it) et "he made the dish that she loved" (it is her favorite dish)?

why this is marked incorrectly 

Je suis arrivé dans cinq minutes." I'll be there in five minutes 

while this is given in lesson 

Je suis là dans deux secondes !I'll be there in two seconds!
