My dictionary translated this as 'événement sportif' and did not give 'épreuve' as an option.  When I used the same dictionary in reverse by looking up the translation of 'épreuve', the translation was ordeal, test, hardship but not sporting event.  Do I need a new dictionary? 

The following answer is given as correct: 'J'ai eu peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard'.  

My question is: given its 'negative ' sentiment shouldn't the answer include the 'ne expletif'?

Bonjour,

Comment faut-il dire "not again" si ce n'est pas "pas encore"? 

Merci en avance!

Why the conditional, auraient, here?  Why not the pluperfect similar to pouvaient?

It seems to that this phrase means "I will go to work in public transport."  In other words, she will be working for (or in) the public transport system.  Shouldn't it be "J'irai à mon travail en transport en commun."?

I have never saw the use of bicross before, but always VTT (vélo tout terrain). Is this a difference between written and spoken language or is it used along eachother? 

Thanks in advance 

Dear Céline,

I would be most grateful to know why "du" appears in "Vous vous rappeler du petit restaurant italien ..." and "de" in "Tu te rappelles ton professeur de maths."

In: “And if you need help, I will be happy to help you.” = “Et s'il te faut de l'aide, je serai heureuse de t'aider” I’m hearing “serai ‘z’ heureuse” as if the text were in fact “serais heureuse”. Are my ears deceiving me?

Il y a des fleurs partout.

Négation : il n'y a de fleurs nulle part.

Ou - il n'y a pas de fleurs nulle part.

Aussi 

Je fais du jogging. Négation : je ne fais pas de jogging ou je ne fais pas du jogging.

Dans cette phrase, est-ce que du est articles partitives ou contractés ?

Could one also use « la facture «  as well as « la note »?
