Example: Allez, aide-moiThis example from the top of the page confuses me. Why is Allez conjugated in vous form and Aide is in tu form?

En vs DansI think the British and American English are a bit different, so I'm still not quite clear on this. So does "Nous avons mangé en 40 minutes" means we ate for 40 minutes? The duration of our meal was 40 minutes? It took us 40 minutes to eat? And "Nous mangerons dans une heure" means we will have to wait for another hour before we can eat, right?

Starting a sentence with "quoi"I was marked wrong on using 'quoi" as "what" at the start a sentence. The correct answer is supposedly "que." Why is "quoi" not also acceptable?

Ici vs. làDe temps en temps et de plus en plus, je voix les français utilisent <là> au lieu de <ici>. Est-ce qu'il y a une règle pour ici et là lorsqu'on fait référence à un endroit?

All mean more or less the same in English. Are they interchangeable in French or are there subtle differences?

Je vais envoyer and J'enverrai

"Je vais vous envoyer l'adrésse de mon site web" and "Je vous enverrai l'adrésse de mon site web" both should be correct I think, but the program marks the former as wrong.
