J'ai encore des cadeaux à acheter

Shouldn't this be:

Marie "EN" a déjà tous achetés.

Since the article here is "des" and not "les"... We just know there are "some" presents to buy, not any specific ones.

Je vais chez le boucher.

Why "Je vais chez le boucher" and not "Je vais au boucher" when for going to boulangerie and marché, the answers are " je vais à la boulangerie" and "je peux aller au marché"? Are there certain places we need to use "chez" instead of "à"?

meaning of reussir

j'aurai reussi ma vie - i will have had a successful life. Other examples of reussir have 'a' and 'de' after it on reverso. Why doesn't it need anything here? And one other thing, I'm asking quite a lot of questions and I always tick the 'get an email notification button' but I noticed just now that I have had two answers on this page, but I was not notified. Is this a glitch?

Could be clearer?The lesson doesn't highlight the point that you can swap clauses around - so e.g. start with conditional, then go to imperfect or v.v. Whichever way though, what changes is the position of 'si' and hence if you are using the imperfect as first or second verb.

So, if 'Tu aimes ma soeur?' is 'Do you love my sister?' how do you say 'Do you like my sister?' Is it 'Tu aimes bien ma soeur?'
