Habiter and vivreRe: Habiter vs Vivre
If I understand correctly, using a preposition after habiter or vivre is optional unless it’s followed by a country or continent. Then it would be “en” for feminine countries and masculine countries beginning with a vowel and for the six feminine continents.
“Au” for masculine countries starting with a consonant and “aux” for plural countries.
When using habiter or vivre with cities it would be à or nothing at all. When using habiter or vivre with regions, provinces, states and counties, again the preposition is optional. My question is when you do not use a preposition, do you use the definite article?
eg., With preposition it’s “J’habite dans le Merseyside.”
Without preposition is it “J’habite Merseyside.” Or J’habite le Merseyside.”
Thank you!
Hello why is there a "de" between oublier and t'appeler?
I often see a "de" in sentences whose placement I can't really understand. I would like to know if there is a rule for this.

The quiz says: ____ les gars! Thanks for coming guys!
The answer is Merci d'etre venus
This is clearly correct in the usual situation where the guys have come and are being thanked for it.
But suppose that the guys had promised to come and were being thanked in advance for it? The same English sentence would work for that situation, even if it would be more explicit if we said "Thanks for agreeing to come, guys". How would the French look in that case?
Je ne suis pas une mère, donc je n'ai pas des enfants.
