With dans, am I physically in the place? I’m trying to understand, clearly the difference between en & dans. Thank you.

It cuts out mid-way through.

Correct answer given is with ‘nulle part’ at the end. No problem with that but what is wrong with ‘n’importe où’? I’ve looked at the discussions and can’t find a definitive explanation for appropriate use of one over the other. Doesn’t ‘nulle part’ mean nowhere rather than anywhere? Merci as ever for guidance.

Yes Paul. I agree with you. I never learned phrases like that in school. Would they be commonly used ie. Should I try to use them in conversation or would I get funny looks, haha?

I kept getting corrected for using a capital letter after the "-" at the start of a line of dialogue. But it was frustratingly inconsistent—later I would get corrected for not using one. And the final text is displayed with capital letters in all cases. What's going on/what's the rule?

This lesson is very confusing.  Wow. I have so many questions,  I don't know where to start!

Why is there a "DE" here? Is the expression "fait de qch"?

Can anyone explain what the difference between the passe compose and past perfect forms of devoir are? google translate shows them as being the same thing:

J'ai dû faire quelque chose     -> I had to do something

J'avais dû faire quelque chose  -> I had to do something

Similarly what is the difference between the future and conditional forms:

j'aurai dû faire quelque chose  -> I should have done something

j'aurais dû faire quelque chose -> I should have done something

Thanks!
