se marier - simple past or passé composé?In the examples we have "Elle se maria cette année-là." and in the quiz "Je me suis marié ce jour-là". I think the first is the simple past, the second passé composé - but why choose one over the other? Or are they equivalent?

il s’en occupe tout de suite

i answered the quizz with “of it” and “of him”. but “of him” was wrong , yet “of them” was correct

what is the difference between ”take care of him” vs “take care of them”. one is right, one is wrong but they both relate to ‘a person/people’ not things.

he takes care of him right away.

he takes care of them right away

he takes care of it right away

Why can «On ne peut pas stationner ici» mean ‘You cannot park here’ but not ‘We cannot park here’? The verb tense doesn’t match either.
