Imparfait to Express HabitsThis is a wonderful training exercise on using the imperfect past tense. It helped me begin to understand when using the conditional would be an improper choice. This said, American's automatically apply the conditional tense when we see the word "would." So...is the conditional tense applied more in an "if then" context? Such as, "Marie répondrait à Paul, mais elle avait peur."

She went to the small swimming pool

As others have noted the English should be "she went into the small swimming pool', as 'to the pool' does not indicate whether she went in or not.

Nous réfléchissons au futur. Tu ________ réfléchis aussi?

Could you please help to answer this example?

In this case, the answer is "y" because of the contraction (à+le) in the sentence?

I don’t understand the context in which I have to use it. Right now I’m learning that I have to use it with avant que and with jusqu’à ce que, but I don’t understand why it fits there.

Thank you In advance

Nuances between "à qui" & "auquel" (etc.)

I know that with living beings we have the choice between "à qui" vs. "auquel/à laquelle/auxquels/àuxquelles". Is there any nuance in terms of formality or elegance between the use these two options?
