The meaning of s'amuser

My Barron's French Verbs defines s'amuser as: to have a good time, to amuse oneself, to enjoy oneself. Although I know "Amélie s'amuser au cirque" implies she is having fun, you gave as a possible answer also "is amusing herself". Since you guys a normally very exact in what you allow as correct in your tests, why do you now not accept a technically more correct answer?

Imparfait vs. Passé composéI have having problems figuring out when I need to use imparfait in my conversations. For example, I understand that imparfait is used when expressing a thought that took place in the past. So does that mean every thought that I had in the past is put into imparfait?
