Why is it 'ce sont mes livres' not 'c'est'?Above it says when a thing is about to be mentioned always use 'c'est'. The previous mention is in another sentence.

I am going to..In the kwiz the first question was "Complete the sentence with the correct definite article: Je vais visiter ________ France cet été." I didn't choose any article because in another lesson it was mentioned that when talking about going to or from a country, you won't use the definite article. Then why it was marked as a wrong answer? Thank you for your answer!

She is lucky - elle est chanceuse."Elle est chanceuse" should be accepted too. The second link provided by Ron (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french/lucky) event lists "chanceux" as translation of "lucky".

Je vais au restaurant (near future?)

The question was what does the following mean: "Je vais au restaurant plus tard" and one of the answers I picked was, I will come to the restaurant later." It was marked wrong. But I just took a lesson on using the present tense to describe the near future. I'm confused.

à l'épicerie vs chez l'épicerieOn the week 70 writing challenge, A1 level, the question is 'Je vais ____ épicerie." I wrote chez l'épicerie, but it was marked wrong. If one says "Je vais chez le dentist" or "Je vais chez la boulangerie", why would 'chez l'épicerie' be wrong? I don't see a difference. Thanks for the help! Terri

En terrasse versus Sur la terrasse

Bonjour. Can someone explain the difference? For example, there is a Kwiziq dictée entitled (En Terrasse) but in the dictée "sur la terrasse" is used. Merci!
