French language Q&A Forum

I'm perplexed. My answer to a quiz was marked wrong when I translated "by tonight" as "d'ici soir". Apparently it should be d'ici ce soir. But by tomorrow is "d'ici demain". Could you please explain the difference because the lesson doesn't address this. Thanks.

The exercise gave two possibilities: passer prendre et venir chercher.  My dictionary adds aller chercher, which is what I chose.  Is this not a possibility? Is it a question of perspective in this case?  The speaker is the one being picked up, hence venir.  If the speaker was asking what time he should pick someone up, then perhaps aller is preferred over venir.

“jamais encore” is not acceptable?  You cannot say “ Marco n'ira jamais encore à un concert de rock”?

in this expression: Ça vous va 

Why we use va with vous, isn't it should be allez with vous?

Hello, I'm aware of the rules for this case, but the translation was what stopped me from writing this. "Devrais" generally means "should", but that translation doesn't work here. Would this be an exception, then? Thank you.

I do not understand why in the above sentence écrit (pp of écrire?) has an 'extra' e. I understand this only applies to être verbs + avoir if object preceeds verb?

Just an F.Y.I.:

The exercise is missing the audio, "...et vous prenez la rue en face." during the dictation. I clicked the button several times, but there was no sound.

I am curious about the grammatical function of "de" in a sentence such as the following:

"Je ne prends pas de bonnes résolutions." 

Thank you!

I have returned to A0 as part of my revision programme and are still puzzled by the following-
