It marked me wrong for putting "bir" in there - so is there a way to distinguish between the sentences "My daughter goes to a private school" and "my daughter goes to the private school" (like maybe the only one in town)? Or just context? Thanks!

Because, If there is a letter which is vowel on the last letter of the word, then you add -y- but there is no vowel on this word.

Because it's in the dative form :) (indicating the direction of motion).
You can't have dative on top of accusative.

Also locative, ablative, and instrumental.
One case at a time, please.
Just like you can't really say "my his book" or "he walksed". It's either mine or it's his and either "he walks" in present or "he walked" in past, just like the school is either accusative or dative.

Why the insistence on the continuous form in Turkish if the English form is just a simple present?

as to my understanding Aorist is only used if you speak about habits (for example Duo sigara içer/içmez), regular events (for example Her gece saat onda yatarim) and to express abilities (for example Adem yüzer/yüzmez). Also it is used for questions and polite request (for example Ne içersin?) and you find it if you express your thanks or your regret (for example Teşekkür ederim or Affedersin). In all other cases the English present tense will be translated to continuous form in Turkish. In contrast, some continuous forms in Turkish cannot be translated to continious form in English, as English is having some static verbs like to love, to hear and so on. That is what I am thinking, may anybody correct me if I am wrong.
