I don't understand the construction of " j'avais des démangeaisons ".  What is the role of "des"?  It looks like a preposition between an auxiliary verb and a main verb.  Or is "démangeaisons " a noun?  It certainly looks like a verb.  Thanks for any help.

I’m sure the speed was intentional, but it was a difficult listen! I still can’t catch the de in "prendre de tes nouvelles" (tho knew it ought to be there) nor the dès in the last sentence.

Please confirm are these Adverbial Affirmative Imperatives correct? 

- Donne-lui-en! [Give him some!]

- Emmenez-m’y!  [Take me there!]

- Emmenez-nous-y! [Take us there!]

- Amuse-t’y! / Amusez-t'y! [Have fun there!]

In the passage, ”...nous nous sommes tous assis pour partager un festin”, I only hear one nous.

For example : Can « Ainsi le nom » mean « that’s why the name.»?

How do I remember the where adverbs come either after or before the verb.

usually we say : Je fais du vélo  OR  Je roule en vélo?

Is it a rule to remove the definite article 'le' in Superlatives while using Possessive Adjectives?

Baptiste est mon pire ennemi.

and not 'le pire' / 'le plus mauvais' ennemi?

Or 'Il est mon meilleur ami.' - even though 'le meilleur' is not used, it is implied with Possessive Adjectives?
