Why is this marcher and not aller à pied since it is contrasted by another method of travel?

Good morning. Is there a trick to hearing the accents over vowels, or do you just have to know where they are in every word? A lot of times I can distinguish the pronunciation of é vs. è, but sometimes I can't tell the difference between e and é, for example. In the text, there's the sentence "" where I can hear é in représentation and théâtrales, but the e in spectacles sounds the same as é in the other two words and doesn't have an accent. Is this something that just comes with a lot of practice? Or do you just sort of need to know the words in advance? 

Can you share link to the lessons to explain the aies and eue. am in a bit of a muddle. not sure where to look.

Hi,

I encountered a similar question in the test. In the test, it was:

I would like either money or a present and the answer is J'aimerais soit de l'argent soit un cadeau

I see "de l'argent" is used instead of "l'argent". Is it because this is rather an order than a preference?

But then I wonder, how should I express a preference like:

I like either money or a present

Should I say "J'aime soit l'argent soit un cadeau"?

Hi,

I wonder how I should use "pas ... non plus" when there's an auxiliary verb as well.

Thank you in advance.

Is there a lesson on using articles after combien, beaucoup, peu etc?

Why we have "Je donne de l'argent" and not "Je donne l'argent"

I think I understand the basic concept here. Is there an easy way to remember which verbs are followed by à? The list is VERY long.
