Confused.

Question

In previous lesson: use c'est for general things (la soupe, c'est délicieux=(drinking)soup is delicious), il, elle for specific things: la soupe, elle est délicieuse=the (specific) soup is delicious. 
I just don't know how to fit c'est pratique, les ciseaux, c'est ma maison, and c'est bientôt les vacances info the "general format". 
Can you help?

Answer

Bonsoir à nouveau,
I am uncertain about your continued confusion with the c'est and ce sont demonstrative pronouns.  Here is something from the lesson that may help:
«Note that ce is used with the verb être as follows: in its singular form, c'est, means it is /this is /that is, and in its plural form, ce sont, means they are /these are /those are. »
Here is a link to another site that could possibly help clear up the confusion:
