When to use which preposition?

Bonjour,

I was wondering in the examples above what the difference is between using en and dans la in these sentences?

Je suis en classe

I'm in class

Je suis dans la classe

I'm in the classe

Is it because the sentence has I'm in THE classe so you use dans + la?

Also is there any exercises such as worksheets with this lesson or any other lessons for prepositions?

Thanks

Nicole

Qu’est ce qui v. Qu’est-ce que

I am having great difficulty with this despite various peoples attempt to explain. Could someone give a few more examples in English, just breaking the sentence down and showing how you understand which is the subject and which is the object. Thank you!

If the city name begins with a vowel, de becomes d'Je viens de Hong Kong.

Why "de Hong Kong" and not "d'Hong Kong" ? Is it because city name consists of two words ?

Vilain garcon and garcon vilain - Quiz marks "garcon vilain" wrong

Even Aurelie gives "garcon vilain" as an example where the adjective can go after the noun. (ugly boy versus mean boy).

yet the quiz won't accept it. This should be changed
