"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?

Can I say "Je vais du cinéma" instead of "Je viens du cinéma" ? Or: "Je viens au restaurant" instead of "Je vais au restaurant" ?

"Dans tous les cas" vs "en tout cas"

How come "en tout cas" is not an acceptable translation for "in any case"? To me, they mean the same thing but perhaps there is a difference in connotation?

Orange vs Oranges: Plural

Hi,

How does orange changes in plural?

According to the video tagged, orange doesnot change to plural, but in the quiz it marked my question wrong.

Pls suggest the right way.

Soudain vs. soudainement?

In this example, I am wondering why soudainement is not used (adding "ment" to the feminine version of an adjective).

I am looking at this sentence and soudain seems to be used as an adverb/is that why no "ment". If so would you please provide me with an example where soudainement might be used? Many thanks.

On regardait les lucioles, et soudain toutes ont disparu.

aimer = love or like?I used to be on Duolingo, and whenever this question came up, the experts always said "aimer means love for people&pets, like for things". Laura Lawless' article agrees, with examples like "Aimes-tu le tennis? Oui, j'aime ça - Do you like tennis? Yes, I like it". But this lesson has aimer=love even for things. What am I to believe?

H. asked about bel homme > beaux hommes"The first sentence uses 'bel homme'. Is that right? Should it not be 'beau homme' so the plural would be 'beaux hommes'?"
