"J'ai peur de ..." also means "regret" and "unwillingness" (as in English)

I'm afraid I have to leave -> J'ai peur de devoir partir

I'm not afraid of work -> Je n'ai pas peur du travail

(All the examples at present are only the "Filled with fear; frightened" meaning of afraid, which is misleading.)

Vous avez passé votre examen

"Vous avez passé votre examen" according to google translate (and my intiution) means Vous avez passé votre examen.

But here it says: "You took your exam".

chaque samedi/ le samedi

Hi, can I use le samedi instead of chaque samedi. I've read that an article is used with days of week when an action is repetitive.
