why doesn't "nous rêvions de(s) cartes au trésor" have an 's' at the end of "de"? doesn't it contract to "des" here ?

The vocab/grammar choices are questionable at times here- Il adore les animaux donc il était très excité !/Vocab: This adjective on its own often has a sexual connotation, so it's better to use another expression, e.g. Il attendait avec impatience cette sortie./Grammar: - needs an "en" -> il EN était très enthousiaste etc. See more here: excited - English-French Dictionary WordReference.com

- Les singes étaient malicieux/this has a more negative meaning... one wouldn't laugh about it...."farceurs" is better here as that would elicit laughter

- nous avons bien rigolé !/Grammar: - needs an "en" ->nous EN avons bien rigolé

- j'ai préféré le numéro de trapèze : j'ai retenu /qui m'a fait retenir mon souffle plusieurs fois !

Some of these sentences are a bit silly as in order to know whether a particular sentence requires a direct or an indirect object pronoun, I need to see more of the sentence. I'm getting marked down for things I can't see until the next slide.

Referencing multiple days.

I can’t find how to reference multiple days together, is there an example?

“On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I get up at 6.” which of the following is correct?

Le lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures

or

Les lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures

or

Le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi je me lève à six heures

Thanks

Position of adverbsThe question was "Nous ________ beaucoup de vin samedi dernier. We drank a lot of wine last Saturday.(HINT: Conjugate ''boire'' (to drink) in Le Passé Composé)"
While I am aware this question relates to the compound verb, I am unclear about why the "beaucoup" is not between the auxiliary and past participle as per this lesson? Can you advise?
