when to make a liason between words spoken

Hi there, can anyone suggest a rule that works for making a liason between words pronounced...? Not as simple as before a vowel as I have found in the above examples:

"Nous sommes allées..." (liason pronounced between sommes-allées...)

"Pauline a dit Je suis allée en France..." (no liason pronounced between suis-allée...)

"Ils etaient meilleurs amis..." (liason pronounced between meilleurs-amis...)

Grateful for any tips on a rule that works...

Michael

Quand elle est entrée dans la salle, tous les regards se sont tournés VERS ELLE.so sounds like ("ver elle") as recorded? Or like ("ver zelle")( with liason)?

Reviewing this, I find I'm confused anew. From the earlier lesson:Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, il est très beau. But above: À qui sont ces livres? Ce sont mes livres. Since the books under discussion are specific, why would one not say, Ils sont mes livres?

quand vs après queFor this translation: We will call you when we've taken the train, The correct answer used quand but I used après que. This was marked wrong. Aren't these two interchangeable?
