"Un vraiment beau monument" is wrong, should read "un monument vraiment beau", yet I am led to believe that using a different subject "un très beau fille" is acceptable. If my example is correct can someone please explain. Thanks/Merci

Passer + preposition. uses "être" in passé composé.

In the lesson on the above topic, it states that if "passer" is followed by a direct object, it uses "avoir" in the passé composé.

Elle est passée chez Laurent hier.She passed by Laurent's place yesterday.
Here, passer is followed by a direct object, yet uses "être".Should the translation be: Elle est passée par chez Laurent hier?This example seems to contradict the rule, even though it is a verb of motion in this sentence. Should have a preposition.

Allait = Is going?

I don't understand the choice of "allait" vs "va" in the sentence "Isabelle allait aussi tenter sa chance à Paris", as translating "is going" feels like "va."
