Why is "objectif" not a good translation for "goal" here, and under what circumstances might one use it instead of "but"? 

Is it possible for purposes of emphasis to write or say "Allons-y à Paris" or should I just say 'Allons à Paris.'  Perhaps I could write 'Allons-y...à Paris'

Je préférerais être une sorcière!

J'adorerais être un loup-garou!

Je serais un seigneur de la nuit!

En tant que creature nocturne ...

... se transformer en monstre

How to know if an article would precede an identity or not? Thanks

Louise a souffert? Je pensais que les sentiments, les émotions et l'action continue seraient l'imparfait?

I would find it helpful to have a lesson on the use of toujours vs encore. I tend to mix them up in French.

E.g.

Je me souviens toujours de ton sourire

Je me souviens encore de ton sourire

Or:

Je t'aime toujours

Je t'aime encore

The same in the negative:

Je n'ai pas encore travaillé 

Je n'ai pas toujours travaillé 

I know these have different meanings but I think I'm often mixing them up. 

This type of exercise is my favorite, where there is an almost one-to-one equivalence between the English and French words and groups of words for translation. I have two small questions. 

1. To denote nutritious, can we say: nutritif or nutritive?

2. To denote recover, can we say: se rétablir ainsi que récupérer?

Thanks!

What is the difference between "constater" and "remarquer" to say "to notice" something? My Canadian teacher always uses 'constater' in these cases.
