How to use trouver to express opinion

'I find this couple magnificent."  My answer was "je trouve ce couple magnifique."  It was corrected:

je trouve ce couple magnigfique. 

That does not seem right to me, according to the lesson.

pas beaucoup vs pas assezWe're trying to say his colleagues didn't like him much. The answer is "ne l'aimaient pas beaucoup." How about "ne l'aimaient pas assez"? If assez is not acceptable, can someone explain the difference? Thanks.

le, en, etc.

The question in the quiz read:  Le DJ est insupportable.  Tout le monde ______ pense.  Fill in the blank with y en le, etc.  So the answer is le.  As I understand you use le when it replaces a phrase that starts with que or and infinitive.  Where is the indication that I should use le?  Thanks.

Using 'en' in sentences

What is triggering the use of 'en' in the sentence 'le destin en a décidé autrement' ? Is it the fact that 'décider' implies a clause starting with 'de' - or something else ?

I often can't see a simple 'de...' clause that could be interchanged with the 'en'.

Use anticipate for s'attendre

I wonder if it would help to use "anticipate" for s'attendre.  Or, even as only a memory tool, "dread" (but not as an actual translation).  I think it may be that trying to use (in our minds) expect in two subtly different ways may be leading to the confusion.  This tool (or trick) works for me?  What do you think?

Here it said that the translation for 'lively' is 'vivant' in each of the options for translations. But is it not possible to use 'animé' instead?

Why doesn't the Une in sentence change to De

In The sentence " la père de Caroline ne travaille pas dans une banque". Why doesn't 'UNE' in this sentence change to 'de' and stay as Une in -ve form
