Hey Máté, once again, well done, everything you've written is good. You're right in noticing that the second cadence in D-flat major isn't great because you've doubled the root, but I wouldn't worry too much! As long you remember the rules I'm showing you I don't think you're going to have any problems. It's interesting you ask about the passing note. That would actually be correct, and sound very good - because it would be a passing 7th, which would actually make chord V into V7. In fact this is exactly what happens in the Bach example I gave you.

Before we get onto sevenths, passing notes and suspensions (which will be soon) I'm going to do a lesson on basic chord progressions. But don't worry it won't be long!
