Is 'pas' missing because this is spoken French? Or is this a case where it isn't needed?

For des bruits "rigolos," can I use "drôles?"

Since épinards starts with a vowel why is it not d’épinards? Or is it always des when referring to some? Can you help me figure out when we use d’ as opposed to des? 

Are these two phrases interchangeable or is there a subtle difference in their usage?

I am not familiar with the phrase 'chômée'

This doesn't come very naturally to me at all. How do I know which verbs should be followed by "à" and thus use lui in these affirmative commands?

Is there any difference between "il a fait exprès de casser ma poupée" and "il a cassé ma poupée exprès"?

I've only ever encountered the latter before, and it seems more straightforward to not have the extra verb floating around, but perhaps there's a subtle difference that I'm missing?

I would like to particularly congratulate the person who gave us this piece.  Not only was it enlightening for me, but it was also a perfect B2 listening exercise. Thank you.  Now to my question.  I understand the admonition about the use of present tense to relate a historical story.  How does the use of the future perfect in the first paragraph relate to this?  Were there other choices for this tense?

Why is the correct answer ‘preservation’ not ‘conservation ‘?

Qu'est-ce c'est la différence en français entre "he made the dish, which she loved" (she loved that he made it) et "he made the dish that she loved" (it is her favorite dish)?

La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.

Why "en" is the response?
