My question regards choosing to translate using the imparfait or plus que parfait vs passé composé. Often I will choose the passé composé but the exercise will say to use the imparfait or plus que parfait because of expressing an opinion. In this exercise, then, I used the imparfait instead of the phrase describing the first lesson: "....qui s'est très bien passée". Wouldn't this express an opinion? If not, then please help me to see the difference between this and "elle ne s'y attendait pas"

au monde vs. du monde

I am looking at the phrase 'toute la nourriture que j'aimais le plus au monde' and wondering why it's 'au monde' and not 'du monde'. According to Larousse, 'au monde' 'renforce une négation : Personne au monde ne peut dire le contraire'; whereas 'du monde' 'renforce un superlatif : Tout s'est passé le mieux du monde'.

Gender agreement of examples

I don’t understand why “Je me suis bien amusée.” adds the “e” for the feminine subject but “Je me suis lavé les dents.” does not when both speakers are female.

Vous and plural form of verb In two examples (one below), it appears as if the "vous" is plural and not singular (formal). The other instance appears in the examples. Should the use of "vous" be assumed to be plural without any clarifying context? And, if "vous" were singular (formal "you") in this sentence, would the verb form be "étiez couché"?

Vous ________ tôt ce soir-là.

You had gone to bed early that night.
