Just found the above link which answers the above query. To save time, a few sentences on this subject would enhance this lesson considerably.

Vais choisir vs. choisiraisIs “je vais choisir” absolutely incorrect, or is it just not as formal as “je choisirais”?To my eye, it’s “I’m gonna/going-to say” as oppose to “I would say” - the former being a more casual expression, the latter being more grammatically correct (and/or “more elegant” as some of the pros on here are fond of saying.)

Malgré tout vs.néanmoins

Puis-je utiliser le mot "néanmoins" au lieu de "malgré tout" dans cette phrase? La phrase est <Nous aurons apprécié ce repas malgré tout>. Est-ce qu'il y a quelque chose en particular avec malgré tout que j'aie peut-être raté? Je pense que vous voulez dire "despite everything".
