Several times you have used "profiter de" to mean to enjoy.  The dictionary I looked at defined profiter a to mean "to be of benefit to" and profiter de as "to take advantage of."  Neither of these seems (to me. at least) to imply to enjoy or to take pleasure from.  Why do you choose to use it rather than something like prendre plaisir de or some other more enjoyable-sounding term?   ( Sorry, but the computer doesn't seem to respond to the holding down of letters for which an accent or other diacritical mark is needed, so my questions are grammatically incorrect......)

In this instance is 'corbeille' an acceptable alternative noun for 'panier'?

what are the positions of adverbs in negative passe compose sentences 
for example the adverbs which are ending -ement 
je n'ai pas lentement mangé   or je n'ai pas mangé lentement?
