assister + à = to attend

I am a little puzzled as to why Kwiziq states has an irregular pp.

My understanding for 're' verbs is to remove the re (batt) and then add u (battu)? It is of course iregular in the present (je bats / nous battons)

I just saw in an exercice- Il a pris la voiture de son ami.

The answer with the pronoms- il lui a pris la voiture. 

Here the preposition is 'de', not 'à'.

How to understand this?

J’habite une maison or j’habite dans une maison. I see the first one written but say the second. Am I wrong? Is it possible to use both?

When do you know that this object is a direct object or indirect object.

to me it sounds like 

La planète mérite bien cet effort 

normally we use the "pire"(which means worse) for comparative the adjectives) but can we use it like that
 je nage pire que toi=I swimworse than you

does it works like that?

i cannot identify words which as masculine or feminine??

please help me!
