What's the difference between juste au cas ou and au cas ou. Both seem to be translated as just in case?
I’m not familiar with this use of "valoir" and was expecting a causative construction like "faire recevoir" - can someone kindly help me with a reference?
Also the end of the first sentence "in the women's right struggle" UK English would usually have "rights" in the plural, as in French.
I don't have the best ears, but I do not hear beaucoup after t-shirt. I hear "au contre" instead.
I thought that "Je vais appeller mon agent de voyage demain" would convey a more immediate sense of will call v/s "J'appellerai ...". Or is it the "demain" that makes it more correct to use the Futur mode?
Why is answer LA meme is object celui? Is that either male or female ?
Thanks

Why is this not in Imparfait? It's a description and the family, presumably, continues to love dogs.
Just wanted to mention that the hints at the beginning spelled "obstétricien" as obstrétricien.
When I ran the text through an online translator just to check my understanding, it decided the obstetrician had given them the happy news that they were expecting binoculars, yet another illustration of the caution needed when using Google Translate!
Salut! Je me demands pourquoi on ne fait pas l'accord de gendre entre gosses nfpl et aucun dans l'exercise.
aucun/aucune agree in gender with the object it refers toYou have to use the negation ne/n' unlike in EnglishRelated example: Les filles sortent ce soir, mais aucune ne prend le train.
Is it assumed that gosses functions as a plural masculine noun in this context since the gender of the kids is non specified, despite the noun itself being feminine? I know we do an unfortunate amount of presuming masculinity in French, but want to understand completely. I feel I may be close to a new intuition here -- hoping that is why aucune is incorrect.
Merci d'avance pour l'aide!
