How about aider? Would one say Aidez-lui or Aidez-le? I've seen it both ways.

Uses of C'estHello, I am a bit confused about the standalone adject + c'est constructions. I thought that to use c'est it needed to proceed a noun within the sentence. Is what I'm seeing here a special case? Or do I have it completely mixed up (which wouldn't come as a great shock to me lol)?

à l'épicerie vs chez l'épicerieOn the week 70 writing challenge, A1 level, the question is 'Je vais ____ épicerie." I wrote chez l'épicerie, but it was marked wrong. If one says "Je vais chez le dentist" or "Je vais chez la boulangerie", why would 'chez l'épicerie' be wrong? I don't see a difference. Thanks for the help! Terri

savoir la réponse ou connaître la réponseIn an earlier quiz the correct answer was Je sais la réponse, but in this multiple choice question they use connaître for all choices. Are both correct?

"était" versus "c'était"In writing challenge week 68 B2, one of the correct answers is "Oui, je crois que la dernière fois, c’était chez Paul et Sophie." as opposed to "Oui, je crois que la dernière fois était chez Paul et Sophie." What are the rules for using c'est and its variations when in the middle of a sentence?
