When do I use the à?

In the examples they  used à and didn’t use à and they both mean he’s going to call his parents. So how do I know when I should use à?

The turkey was so burnt that he had had to get another one.   Isnt the part after the that subjonctif?

Hello! 

Throughout the writing activity where I described the boys neighborhood, I continued to use "Tu" instead of "On" when it asked me to type "When you want to go out, you have a lot of choices!" 

The correct answer according to the computer was "Quand on veut sortir, on a beaucoup de choix !" 

Can someone explain why On is used instead of Tu?

Thanks!

Could somebody please rewrite the explanation of irregular 'e-less' adverbs, found under the example box of vraiment, etc, into shorter, clearer english?

Pour la question 12, puis-je écrire, 'je lutterais contre le machiavélique Cardinal Richelieu'?

So "demeurer" sounds "posh"? What about "habiter"? Don't they mean the same thing?
