I noticed in the exercise "droite" was used for direction to the right, but "tout droit" is masculine for "straight ahead.  Why the difference?

Bonjour a tous,

I am new here. Please I find it difficult to identify when le or les is pronounced. The same goes for de/du.Is there any way I can always identify each of these when pronounced?

Merci.

Is le présent the same as le présent indicatif? If so, why do you switch between them in a single lesson?  It confuses me.  Thank you.

why not use "exiger" for require, demand.  ça demand = ça exige ?

Elle est à New York 

She is in New York

Why can we not say

Elle est dans New York

She is in New York

Where can I find the vocabulary used in the dictation exercises?  I clicked on the all related grammar/vocabuary link, but it only gives the grammar.  There were lots of expressions/words used for which I couldn't find a proper translation in the context of the exercise. Alternatively, a translation for the dictation would be useful

Je ne peux pas apprécier cette humour !  C’est simplement pas quelque chose avec laquelle je peux identifie; pas rigolote; ridicule au plus.
