Can "de bonne heure" be used to express "early". For a question the correct answer was "en advance". Tu es en avance aujourd'hui. Could one say Tu es de bonne heure aujourd'hui.

J'ai eu peur Vs. J'avais peur

I saw the sentence below in a test:

* J'ai eu peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard *

Why not J'avais peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard ?!?!

I believe it should be j'avais because we are describing how scared I was, so we should use Imparfait over passe composé !

Thank you

The pronunciation of "plus" in de plus en plus in the last example (J'ai de plus en plus de mal à me concentrer.) has 's' in both the plusIs this correct? Because in all other examples only the plus has 's' prononuced as it is followed by vowel 'e'.

toujours as still vs. always

This isn't directly related to the lesson content, but regarding the example

Sache que je pense toujours à toi.

Know that I'm still thinking of you

How do we know to translate toujours to "still" in this case, as opposed to "always"?

Bonjour!

in the example “ça ne sent pas la rose là-dedans” is translated as “it smells nasty in here”. Formerly I had understood “là-dedans” to mean in there. Is it both or am I just wrong. Sorry, I know this is getting off on a bit of a bunny trail...

merci d’avance!
