French language Q&A Forum

The translation of "In case you've never had to..." in the exercise is "Juste au cas où vous n'auriez jamais eu..." But surely "have had to" in this context is the future perfect of "must", and should be translated in French using the verb "devoir": "Juste au cas où vous n'auriez jamais dû..."?

Hi team. Wondering why only "Go there!" is the only answer. "You go there!" should be correct, too?

I haven't done one of these exercises for a long time and, while some of my translations may not have been exactly what was in the model answers, I compared my proposals with the answers, I search around for why I was right or wrong, and then I learned from that in-depth research.  I don't see how every possible answer can be cited, unless you want an machine-driven algorithm in which case go to DeepL or Google or Reverso.  This is a fantastic resource!

I have seen the use of "si que possible" instead of "si c'est possible". what is the difference?

Is it still considered general when the adjective is followed by "here", why does this not revert back to the normal agreement rules?

Great , I'll just stop now and learn the 400 or so countries, counties and regions I'll need to operate this lesson... maybe one day the next level ...who knows - don't the French make mistakes and stand corrected and move on ? 

Someone at the Foreign office once asked if General de Gaulle believed in God? Someone answered - it would depend how good God's French was.! 

How do you say the following in French? 

a) I spent a day with Martin. 

b) I spent the day with Martin.

My guess is:

a) J’ai passé un jour avec Martin. (following the example of "spent a year" indirectly)

b) J’ai passé la journée avec Martin. (following the quiz answer directly)

Am I correct? If so, why are the two different? Can I just remember "a" vs. "the" means one is a unit of time and one is emphasizing the duration? Thank you. 

Why don't we use indirect object pronouns like je leur pense ?

According to Le Robert and Larousse (Word Reference too) the French noun for the English 'oval' is «ovale» (masculine). The lesson is currently miscorrecting this to 'oval'. Also, I understand that not all acceptable answers can be included but «lèvres minces» is the first option given by Le Robert, and the phrase my French wife would have used on first thought ahead of «lèvres fines» - is it difficult to add this as an acceptable option at the very least?
