Such as, zu + der = zur. I realize in French they are, i.e. de + le = du. However, in English they are not. Thanks in advance.

they are not obligatory as in french, if u dont make them it isnt strictly wrong but it doesnt sound that good. they re not so many so just learn them. depends on the contraction too, for instance zu der instead of zur is not as bad as in das instead of ins. that really sounds bad.

Jawohl, as far as I know they are.
My teacher corrects me when I say "zu der" (yeah right like I ever get the article right anyway).
