What is the difference between these two and why isn't plusieurs an acceptable alternative.

Parce que je le vaux bien!

Why is 'le' in this sentence?

Also in "J'en vaux vraiment la peine !" in the lesson, why "J'en vaux..." instead of "Je vaux ..."?

the answer shows only "pour bien en profiter", but can one say "pour en profiter bien" also? If not, why can you say "d'en profiter au maximum"?

Passé composé

In this lesson there is an example of passer in passé compose using être:

Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie...

and using avoir:

Nous avons passé une bonne semaine...

I can't see an explanation for this and I'm confused

Just as in English we have 'they' and 'them' (but note, only 'you'),

Does anyone know what that sentence means? In English, please.

It's the first sentence in this lesson.

Thanks.
