Is Avoir and Être, more simple than Ser and Estar in spanish?
Is there some reason to use one or the other? It seems to me that there needs to be an object for ¨adorer¨...?
Qu’est-ce que c’est « un plaid »? Est-ce une couverture ?
If reflexive verbs always use the auxiliary verb 'etre', why is it 'Quand elle m'a embrassé' and not 'Quand elle m'est embrassé'

1. J'étais née le lundi 26 mars 1983.
2. J'étais née lundi. (I was born on Monday) ...talking about a specific context / specific thing that happened on that day, so no "le" used?
3. La réunion est le mercredi 14 avril à 8h.
4. La réunion est mercredi. (The meeting is on Wednesday) .....talking about a specific context / specific thing that will happen on that day, so no "le" used?
When she is assembling the plane she says 'venir' in every step. It doesn't seem to change the meaning of the sentence so is it just a language tic? If not, what does it do?

On va venir prendre le deuxième baton jaune
On viendra l'appliquer à l'arrière
In english (maybe just NZ?) we use the expression "tell me about it" as a sort of ironic way of saying that you share not-so-good experiences with someone. eg. Speaker 1 - it was so hot last night, I couldn't sleep. Speaker 2 - tell me about it (meaning I had the same experience). Is Parle-m'en used the same way?
