À rire or de rire

Bonjour à tous, je m'appelle minhaz.

I have started learning french which makes me a basic beginner in this language.

I have a question related to a sentence which is "it is good to laugh sometimes".

In french it is written as "C'est bon de rire parfois".

As I know that "to" is said as "à" in French.

My question is why it is not written as

C'est bon à rire parfois

When to use de vs du/de la vs d'?

I find it difficult with the article 'de'. I have reviewed the grammar lessons here to brush up my concepts but when reading online articles I still flounder. e.g. In this article, why do we write la dangerosité du Covid-19, en cas d'opposition. Should it not be de Covid and de l'opposition? https://www.rfi.fr/fr/am%C3%A9riques/20210529-%C3%A9tats-unis-vaccination-des-plus-jeunes-la-difficult%C3%A9-de-convaincre-parents-et-adolescents. Thank you in advance for helping clarify.

plural or singular verb

I believe there is an error in the sentence: "mais la majorite des parents inscrivent leurs enfants.

La majority is singular, hence the verb should be "inscrit"

Right?

I would have have thought you would have to say avec qu'il parle In the quiz the question was "la fille avec ... il parle " I chose laquelle but the answer qui was also expected. I did not choose that because the qui should have been qu'

Could you add a way to hear the story in English after you do quiz?I was having a lot of fun doing first quiz a second time and almost got to end and lost it all. I then tried the second quiz and again got to end and lost that too. Just wish you could retrieve it all when you mess up. Thanks for fun anyway. I did learn a lot about what I don't know.
