Since both parts of the sentence refer to a feeling/opinion, shouldn't both parts be conjugated using the imperfect past tense?

"Je ne voulais pas choisir pour elle, mais j'ai été soulagé"

Thanks in advance,

John

I have few friends

Are both translations correct?

J'ai quelques amis

J'ai peu d'amis

Regars, John M

- Can I use "chez la teinturerie" instead of "au pressing"?

- Can I use "ce n'est pas grand-chose" instead of "ce n'est pas grave"?

- Can I use "de nouveau" instead of "encore"? Please walk me through this.

- Can I use "de secours" instead of "en réserve or de côté"?

Can you tell me how to decide between usage of 'de' and 'des'

for example

regarder des vidéos de chatons et de bébés

j'ai écrit

vidéos des chatons et des bébés!

2)Also how to say

(Its quite congfusing)

Is it

 C'est déroutant!

Ca me confond un peu!

Merci beaucoup

Why is 'penser a' here, but not 'penser de' (opinion).  Wouldn't it might be good to know that in addition to 'y' for a clause with 'a'; that 'en' for a clause with 'de' is appropriate (and, I think, clearer than just another 'le')?

[Sorry, I can't seem to do the accents, as needed.]

I used "la chapelure." for breadcrumbs which was marked as incorrect. The exercise wanted "les miettes de pain". According to the dictionary I used, both are correct. Can anyone clarify? Thanks

do we always use depuis with the present tense? or can it be used with the past/future tense

Is it "j'ai encore besoin de l'aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire !" Instead of j'ai encore besoin d' aide de mon fidèle dictionnaire!" because it is a specific dictionary that they are talking about?

Why "dans"?  Isn't stadium a general place rather than a specific one?  Like "in prison" = "en la prision"?
