"I'd appreciate you helping me to a better place."
I heard this in a videogame.
I think 'go' or 'get' must be added between 'me' and 'to'.
Maybe the speaker made a mistake of leaving it out?
The speaker was a British and the year was 1918.
Was it acceptable and common to leaving it out at that time in the UK?

Fish are swimming against the current in a river, making them easy targets. This hunter is trying to catch them with a spear, but after a few minutes, he says,
"Looks like they wisened up."
What does it mean? And why I couldn't find this verb 'wisen' in dictionaries?

'open up to someone' VS 'warm up to someone'
Are these interchangeable?
- It seems that he finally has opened up to you.
- It seems that he finally has warmed up to you.
Do they mean the same thing?

What is it supposed to mean when someone says "Way to go me"? Is it even a proper English?

"There's a whole bunch of traps laying around this area for these monsters."
I came across this sentence and I think 'laying' is incorrect here, so I put it in grammar checker, but it says no mistakes are detected. Why?

A group of survivors stay for the night at an abandoned house. One of them says "I got first watch."
This 'got' is the past tense of get?

You manage to reach the meetup spot. You're too late, and there, a couple of your friends are already there, waiting for you, and they see you come and say "It had been so long. We were starting to worry you wouldn't make it."
Shouldn't it be "It has been so long"? Why 'had', the past perfect tense?

- I'll keep lookout for you.
- I'll keep a lookout for you.
I thought the second is correct, but I saw someone write 'keep lookout for' without 'a'.
Is it also considered correct? I'm confused.
