Qui habite à travers la rue?

"Halloween" est une fete americaine (meme si certains commencent a` l'adopter dans des endroits comme Paris ou` bcp d'americains vivent.  Ca serait interessant de citer les fetes traditionnelles d'automne en France/ses regions ou les fetes dans des pays francophones, n'est-ce pas?  Merci.

Why can't I write "Ton père est dans la prison.?

I think "dans la" & "en" both work in this example. My reasoning is that prison is a physical place.

Hello.
The English sentence is: I'd never seen that, it was like in a horror movie!

I must have missed the rule that explains the use of conditional past in French. Can you enlighten me please.

Thanks.

Can you give us a list of all vocabulary as an excel sheet or something? I'd love to make myself some flashcards instead of reading a list for using it with for example the flashcards app Anki. I won't share it if you don't want me to, but if you want to have the Anki deck then you can have it too of course.

In all the above examples you use avoir + faire expres de, except on Elle fait exprès d'être en retard. 

Could you please explain why it isn't better to say "elle a fait expres d'......" 

"Contre-la-montre" - what a great word!

Shouldn’t the adjective be plural to match the noun?

Since most of the dictée is in present tense, why is the futur proche used for walking in the Tuileries.
