Vas te coucher

I had "Vas te coucher" as my translation of "Go to bed".  It is listed in the example as a correct translation.  Can you tell me why it was marked as incorrect please.

Meaning of :"la voilà à présent": from C1 writing challenge week 34?Searched through the lessons related to this writing challenge, but did not find an explanation for this French: "la voilà à présent", translation of: "But now she's (lending her voice to the new princess Vaiana)". I haven't seen this French phrase before: "la voilà à présent", and I would appreciate reading about it please? C1 writing challenge's Correct answers: Mais la voilà à présent qui prête sa voix à la nouvelle princesse Vaiana or Mais la voilà maintenant, prêtant sa voix à la nouvelle princesse Cheryl

Place of "magnifique"

Why does the place of "magnifique" varies in the sentences below though it's neither an adjective that qualifies a proper noun nor a numerical adjective?

J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques.

Il a mangé de magnifiques gâteaux.

Difference between aller and aillent

What's the difference between le verbre aller et aillent? Is it the same verb, different tense? Or am I way off and it's just pronounced aillent?

toujours as still vs. always

This isn't directly related to the lesson content, but regarding the example

Sache que je pense toujours à toi.

Know that I'm still thinking of you

How do we know to translate toujours to "still" in this case, as opposed to "always"?

Aren't some of the answers to question 1 ambiguous with regard to their correctness? I understand that "Vous pouvez prendre tout ce qu'est sur la table" is the answer to question 1 because it should be using "ce qui" instead of "ce que." But aren't the other questions which use "tout" also possibly incorrect. For example, in "Tout ce qu'il fait m'agace," wouldn't this be incorrect if "tout" was being used as a noun instead of a pronoun? In such case, the "ce" should be dropped to be correct.
