In what part of this sentence could you add "nearly", and what is the word for this? If I said, "My parents have been married for 20 years", or "Mes parents sont mariés il y a vingt ans", how would I say "My parents have been married for nearly 20 years" ? Does this require a different expression entirely? For context, I would be explaining that their wedding anniversary is next month.
J'ai lu trois livres dont les tiens/ les vôtres. [I read 3 books including yours.]
Is this correct? Or should it be le tien? Masculine/plural form should be used because the noun is 'les livres'?
Q1) Isn't this correct?
Vous m'y avez parlé. [You spoke to me there.] (Parler à)
Q2) Isn't the scenario of Indirect Object Pronoun/COI with Adverbial Y possible? If not, why??
Q3) And similarly, vice-versa the scenario of Direct Object Pronoun/COD with Adverbial En is also not possible?? Hence, is it a rule that it will always be [COD + y] and [COI + en] in Double Pronouns??
Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?

J'ai décidé de perdre du poids.
J'ai décidé du faire. OR J'ai décidé de le faire. [I have decided to do it] ??
What is the rule related to this? Please share.
For the phrase "undeniable advantages" I used the adjective "incontestables" and this was marked wrong. Could I not use this word, in this context? Thank you.
Can you give us a list of all vocabulary as an excel sheet or something? I'd love to make myself some flashcards instead of reading a list for using it with for example the flashcards app Anki. I won't share it if you don't want me to, but if you want to have the Anki deck then you can have it too of course.
I learnt about the inverted question form and the inverted verb forms of quoi and how they work. Quoi becomes que or qu'. Additionally, I learnt about est-ce que and it uses the question word first and then the inverted verb and then the subject.
