« Avec moi » v « chez moi »

I actually had two questions. One was the same as that of Alvine. I thought that the description of past feelings required the imparfait?

My second question is the use of « avec moi » and not « chez moi ». Couldn’t either one be correct? I suppose that « avec moi » indicates that she was staying specifically with and for him, but just wondered if « chez moi » could not have the same connotation?

Thank you!

"going to the ball"

I've encountered a number of sentences in KwizIQ about "going to the ball." Is that something that is common in France? I'm wondering because I've only encountered a ball in the Cinderella fairy tale and not in real life. But maybe that's just the social milieu in which I live!

Direct Object Rule

“Elles ne l’ont pas fait exprès” does NOT follow the direct object rule, and the lesson states this clearly. Is this because this is a case of le/la referring to a concept, so it’s not a direct object? Could their be a sentence in which a direct object would be used, and therefore require agreement?

Vous and plural form of verb In two examples (one below), it appears as if the "vous" is plural and not singular (formal). The other instance appears in the examples. Should the use of "vous" be assumed to be plural without any clarifying context? And, if "vous" were singular (formal "you") in this sentence, would the verb form be "étiez couché"?

Vous ________ tôt ce soir-là.

You had gone to bed early that night.

HINT: Conjugate "se coucher" in Le Plus-que-Parfait

Answer: vous étiez couchés

What happened to the "i" ?

In a quiz I just took, 'brilliant ' becomes 'brillamment'. Is this an irregular adverb? I note that 'patient' becomes "patiemment". I would appreciate your insight.
