Small addition in the lesson

Bonjour Kwiziq Experts !

A rule from the lesson states-

Adverbial pronouns en/y are placed after moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur and moi/toi become m' and t’

Can it be elaborated by using the following- en/ y are placed after moi/toi/lui/l’/nous/vous/leur/les.

Accompagne-l’y ! -> Accompany him there ! (Here, l’ is a direct object which is better as compared to lui)

Conduis-les-y ! -> Drive them there ! (Here too, les is a direct object used instead of leur)

Just curious to know whether direct object too satisfy this rule or only indirect object pronouns could be used before en/y .

Merci encore !

Does s’en aller take the future proche?

Does s’en aller take the future proche? In other words, are “je m’en vais” and “je vais m’en aller” both correct ways of saying “I am leaving”? And if so, are they completely interchangeable, or do they have different senses or nuances?

Thank you!

Why can't one say: Le voila, ca fait quatre euros.

I'm confused about this. Aren't they the same thing?

"C'est" vs "il/elle est" Error or confusionThe fill-in-the-blanks exercise https://french.kwiziq.com/my-languages/french/tests/overview/2122084 has a questionable answer for the sentence, “____ est une très bonne danseuse.”

The lesson states: A) If it/he/she is is followed by un/une/le/la... (any form of article / determinant) - it is a beautiful dress / she is a nice person - then you will use c'est.

Now not being a native french speaker, and still very much a student, it still feels wrong to use “c’est” here, as so the lesson also states: B) il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things

As we’re talking about a specific, pre-mentioned person, “Valentine,” the obvious answer is “Elle est une très bonne danseuse.” However, the “C’est une très bonne danseuse” is listed as correct.
Is this an error? Or what am I getting wrong here?"

It may be useful to link lessons for 'aucun(e)', the opposite of chacun(e).
