1 mal :

Vous avez mal dormi (you slept badly) is the opposite of vous avez bien dormi (you slept well). In the perfect tense, mal/bien is placed between the auxiliary verb (here, avez) and the past participle (here, dormi). Example: nous avons mal/bien mangé (we ate badly/well).

1 mauvais :

Mauvais/mauvaise (bad) is the opposite of bon/bonne (good), not of bien (well). We use bon and mauvais in front of a noun, not a verb as in our sentence. Example: j'ai passé une bonne nuit (I had a good night's sleep) / j'ai passé une mauvaise nuit (I had a bad night's sleep).

1 moche :

Moche  is a colloquial term meaning "ugly". It is the opposite of beau (beautiful), not bien (well). Example: ce tableau est moche (this painting is ugly).

2 un peu :

Votre mari ronfle un peu (your husband snores a little) is the opposite of votre mari ronfle beaucoup (your husband snores a lot). We use un peu to mean “a little” and peu or peu de to mean “not much, not many, few”. Examples: j'ai un peu mangé (I've eaten a little); il a peu d'amis (he has few friends). I hope you're not referring to me!

2 petit :

Petit/petite (small) is the opposite of grand/grande (big), not of beaucoup (lots, a lot). Example: Tom est petit (Tom is small).

2 malade :

Malade (ill, sick) is the opposite of en bonne santé (healthy), not of beaucoup (lots). Example: Jojo a de la fièvre, il est malade (Jojo has a fever, he's sick).
