Bonjour Dyrce !

"Nous t'avons rendu visite il y a une semaine."

Literally : "We you gave a visit a week ago."

t' = you as an indirect object -> We gave the visit to you.

rendre visite à [quelqu'un] = to visit [someone]
See the related lesson : https://french.kwiziq.com/revision/grammar/visiter-versus-rendre-visite-a-visiting-places-versus-visiting-people

il y a + [duration] which is the subject of this lesson.

I hope that's helpful!
Bonne journée !

« "vous nous avez été recommandés" shouldn't it be "... été recommandé" assuming a single person (or shop) is being addressed? Re: À la salle de jeux vidéos (y versus en) [ Would like an answer from a Kwiziq Expert ] »
