Why ''aussi''?EN: I have some champagne in the fridge.
FR: J'ai aussi du champagne au frigo.

Why is ''aussi'' used here even though ''also'' isn't mentioned in the English sentence? Am I missing something?

Hi,

I was wondering when you use the adverbs absolument and totalement do they use the rule #5 in the lesson for adjectives with adverbs?

Thanks

Soi vs soi-même

In one of the A2 tests, I see « Il faut toujours regarder devant soi. » and « Il faut toujours essayer soi-même avant de juger. » When do you use soi vs soi-même? I keep getting docked for choosing soi-même in the first sentence.
