On ne peut pas dire on peut le faire?

For in countries/cities, I always thought it was either "à" (usually for cities, except for a small number of cases e.g. au Canada, au Japon), and "en" for countries.

E.g. J'habite à Melbourne.

J'habite en Australie.

However the above example says j'habite DANS le Yorkshire... how can you live INSIDE a place?

comme j'aime les chats, j'ai particulièrement apprécié cet exercice. au moment où j'écris, mon chat dort au soleil sur son lit, où elle restera jusqu'à ce qu'elle ait faim ou qu'elle veuille être caressée :)

why is 'ça' used to refer to 'le recyclage' and not 'il'? Like 'Il réduit la pollution' for instance or 'il limite des déchets'?

Could someone please explain what "aidée" is agreeing with here? Why is it feminine?

It would be useful to have a quiz in order to practise all the places and buildings in a town. This would help us to consolidate what is actually quite a long list, but very useful vocabulary when one is visiting France.

Hello, why is it:

Mon village favori ?

and

Mon village préféré?

Its not spoken about the past? And if, why "favori"?

so you really just add an -e to the end of a adjective to make it feminine? is there any exceptions?
