The rules you give are quite useful. Thank you.

One thing that I would add is that I can remember easier if I think in terms of who is actually entering. If the Subject is entering, then we use être, but if the "entering" is being done by someone/something other than the Subject, then we use avoir.

Mes filles sont entrées en CP cette année. -> Mes filles

Nous avons entré les informations dans le programme. -> les informations

This works in other cases where we need to decide between avoir and être.  (or where the sentence seems to indicate that the action is not done by the sentence subject)

En plus de "du matin, de l'aprés midi, et du soir", peut-on utilise aussi 'de la nuit'? Ou utiliserait-on 'deux heures du matin' bien que ce soit dans la nuit?

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?

How can you distinguish "le costume" form "les costumes" while listening. It sounds the same for me.

Why t is pronounced in ´en fait ´ ?Thank you
