About the pronouncation: About the pronouncation: Isn't there a subtle difference between the pronouncatin of j'arrivai and j'arrivais? If not, then the conditional and the future tenses would sound the same. J'arriverai would sound just like J'arriverais.

Negation in french

I have read earlier that while doing negation in avoir we should change the articles into de for example.. J'ai un Stylo

Je n'ai pas de Stylo. Then how to follow this rule while using verbs

dans vs en vs nothingI'm sorry--I get this distinction wrong on every test. Here are three examples from the explanation page. # 3 J'habite la rue Pasteur I live on Pasteur Road # 6 J'habite rue Pasteur. I live on Pasteur Road. # 15 J'habite dans la rue Pasteur I live on Pasteur Road What is the difference?

Use of 'auquel' / à qui instead of 'que'

In the lesson ‘Que = Whom, which, that (relative pronouns)’ an example sentence is given as:

‘La femme que je dessine’

An example sentence from this lesson is: ‘Le chat, auquel tu as fait peur’ OR ‘Le chat, à qui tu as fait peur’

I’m struggling to understand why is ‘Le chat, que tu as fait peur’ is not used?

Thanks

s'attendre àI feel like I will never get this. You wrote "Note that s'attendre à is usually used for negative expectations (i.e., I expect something bad)" but then "You're expecting some happy news" is "Tu t'attends à de bonnes nouvelles." Happy news is neither negative or bad.
