hi.can I use " dans" to  say" J' habite  dans Layon"

Instead  of "à"

how to identify a word is masculine or feminine...

In lesson 2 of 10 in A1, on the quiz I was marked as incorrect when I included "He was not..."  as a translation for "On..."  They said that "we" and "you" were acceptable translations, but "he" was not.  I do not understand why not.    I watched the video & read the lesson, but it did not answer my question.

Hello, the video has been blocked due to copyright reasons.

Is the above question an acceptable translation of "What do you think?" 

The correct answer is "j'ai tenu bon" - could you also say, "j'ai tenu le coup"?

Salut! je m'appelle Elsie, et je viens de Londres!

How can you distinguish "le costume" form "les costumes" while listening. It sounds the same for me.

When this command is negated, it becomes "Ne vous dépêchez pas ! (or ne te dépêche pas). I could not understand the rationale for this structure by reading the current lesson.  I am guessing the reason may be because, nous, vous,  and te are pronouns and so surrounded together with the verb by ne and negative word. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.
