Chacune?

I  don't understand why "chacune annee" can't be used. Isn't "annee" feminine, which  means the modifying adjective should also  be feminine? A little confused.

usage of à

Hi! I don't quite understand the usage of à in the examples: Il le vend 3 € la livre; and Le pâté se vend à 1,25 € les 100 grammes. The verb is same, constraction is same. What's the difference? Can i use both? Thanks!

In the example Je serais là dans deux semaines. Would it also be correct to say J’y serais dans deux semaines.

How about the difference between 'être de' and 'venir de'?

Are these sentences correct?

Je suis de France/ Je suis de la France/ Je suis du Japon

Can  'être de' be followed by state/city/region/direction (le Nord, L'Est)?

Question about the Routine de Matin exerciseIn the Routine de Matin (Futur Proche & réflexive verbs) exercise, I used the present indicative tense in the following sentence (even though all the other answers were in the futur proche) because it made more sense to me: “Pendant qu’il SE PRÉPARE avec toi, je vais .....”. 

It was marked incorrect, but doesn’t it fit the sentence better? It said that it should have been “Pendant qu’il va se préparer avec toi....”. 

Thanks!
