"était" versus "c'était"In writing challenge week 68 B2, one of the correct answers is "Oui, je crois que la dernière fois, c’était chez Paul et Sophie." as opposed to "Oui, je crois que la dernière fois était chez Paul et Sophie." What are the rules for using c'est and its variations when in the middle of a sentence?

A la montagne versus dans la montagne?I have a question based on a test I took. It stated that one would say..."pour aller skier a la montagne" ("to go and ski in the mountains"). Why is it, a la montagne and not dans la montagnes?

Why va-t'en and not vas-t'en ?

Isn't the tu-form of aller "vas"?

De quoiWhen do we use de quoi. For example can we say La fourchette de quoi tu te sers était à ma mère.

Why is it not "J'ai habité DEPUIS cinq ans"?This is what I seem to recall having been taught at school (admittedly, a very long time ago!).

marron ou brun?

I have seen brown (in English) as both marron and brun in French, how are they different or is either correct?

The use of -t- in the middle of a phrase

I don't understand the use of -t- in forming a phrase. For example, why is "she accepted" written "accepte-t-elle" instead of "elle a accepté"?
