My best guess right now is that à is used with definite articles, and dans is used with indefinite ones. So "Je vais au parc," and "Je vais dans un parc." Is that correct?

What is the difference between "pendant" and "durant"? They both mean "during". Can you use either one in a sentence?

Is "on" used throughout this text instead of "nous" since this is considered casual writing? 

Why are the plural "tous" and plural agreement "habillés" used with "on"? I thought it was considered a singular pronoun since it conjugates with il and elle.

Hello,

The sentences:-

        Mes amis et moi, ON VA au cinema/ Mes amis et moi, NOUS ALLONS au cinema.

     Is it wrong to use 'nous allons' in the second sentence?

Does "Qu'est-ce qui ... ?" exist in French? I already understand Qui, & Qui est-ce qui questions.

Why isn't ces used in this reply - given that les livres is plural

I was struggling to remember/understand this rule of pronoun and indirect and direct order and how it changes depending upon me/te etc or lui/leur etc and came across 'the selfish rule' in a grammar book which helped. 

Me first, object second, other people third, then Y and En.

 I guess it's another way of remembering the rule as given here, "The order is ALWAYS:

me/te/nous/vous   (before)  le/la/les/l' (before) lui/leur." 

Hi, I have just taken the French proficiency exam and this was a question I answered incorrectly,  but I am confused as the answer seems to be opposite of the original sentence:

Je crains qu’il tombe malade. » Quelle phrase a le même sens et grammaticalement correct ?

Correct answer: Je crains qu’il ne tombe malade
Your answer: Je crains qu’il est malade.  I don't understand the error and I don't understand the use of 'ne' but not 'pas.'  Can anyone help?
