Anthony brings his sunglasses (in case it's sunny.) (on a C1 test)My answer - Anthony apporte des lunettes de soleil au cas où il ferait du soleil. Marked nearly correct. Your correct answer - .......... au cas où il ferait BEAU. Doesn't that mean - in case the weather is nice, beautiful? Can you also say -- au cas où il y aurait du soleil. Please explain.
