Translating 'Je vais en ville'This literally means 'I am going in/inside town', but actually it means 'I am going to town'. Can you explain the french reasoning behind this usage. And is this correct 'Je vais à ville' for 'I am going to town'?

Imparfait vs. Passé composéI have having problems figuring out when I need to use imparfait in my conversations. For example, I understand that imparfait is used when expressing a thought that took place in the past. So does that mean every thought that I had in the past is put into imparfait?

Question word + est-ce-que :Mes amis français m'ont dit que cette forme est incorrecte, que "est-ce-que tu vas à... " est juste, mais pas "où est-ce-que tu vas". Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Le vase versus la vase

Why not include the meanings of "vase" as they change according to gender? La vase is mud, whereas le vase is a vase.

Why is the correct form of ''You and your friends play football.'' "Toi et tes amis jouent au foot."?According to the lesson, "Toi" plus anything else is supposed to create a sentence with the verb in a "vous" form. Shouldn't it be "Toi et tes tes amis jouez au foot"?
