Je ne comprende pas ce qu'il faut faire......

Just FYI, the HINT i.e. mon rêve is attached to the wrong audio file. 

I wonder why Le Passé Composé is used as 'adorer' is a state of mind. 

I try to modify the sentence: 'Les invités sont arrivés vers dix-neuf-heures, et tout le monde a adoré les décorations et était heureux '. Is l'imparfait used correctly?

Les enfants ont-ils récité ces mots en sautant à la corde?

How to express decimal numbers (e.g. 0.8, 9.876...)?

Is this correct?: zero point huit

Thank you

I keep messing up on the possession concept. The lesson covers possession using proper names, but does not mention rule for non-proper noun, example, the girl's pen (unless I missed something). The correct way is apparently the pen of the girl, le stylo de la fille, and not le stylo de fille. Can you add a note to the lesson to accentuate this, such as found on Lawless site, https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/possessive-de/

You'll take your cousin to the party is gives as 'Tu ameneras ta cousine a la fete'. In all the dictionaries I have consulted, Amener means 'to bring', Emmener means 'to take'. In English these are two quite distinct actions. 'To take' implies that the taker and the taken are both at Point A and are going to Point B. To bring implies that the person being brought is at Point A, and the person speaking is at Point B. Duolingo never got the hang of this. You' ll take your cousin to the party should be 'Tu emmeneras ta cousine a la fete'. Or are amener and emmener synonymous?

I know that in direct pronouns are me, te, lui ... and they are used when the noun comes after a preposition but why is it m'aide and not l'aide?
