"Does nobody have their keys?" strikes me as something that would rarely if ever be said in (American) English. Is there another correct way to translate this? Because this one will be really hard for me to remember because it seems so very strange.

I have tried to include “depuis”, “durant” and “pour” in the one sentence.J'étudie le français durant deux heures tous les jours depuis mon anniversaire le mois dernier, mais j’ai seulement étudié durant quatre-vingt-dix minutes hier soir tellement je devrai étudier pour deux et demie heures demain

Not always required in written French, actually.

" Notice that although ne is always required in written French. "

In games like Pokemon they can omit the " ne, " rather than having all the characters speak more formally all the time. So it's not always required, is it? Not in character dialogue.

present/pastFrom a writing challenge: "I've always done it like that. If I changed now you wouldn't find them anymore" -> "J'ai toujours fait comme ça. Si je CHANGEAIS maintenant, tu ne les trouverais plus". Why should we use l'imparfait (changeais) when talking about something one might do now/maintenant, why not le présent ? (Yes, I know it mirrors the English "changed", but English is not my native language either)

When to use de vs du/de la vs d'?

I find it difficult with the article 'de'. I have reviewed the grammar lessons here to brush up my concepts but when reading online articles I still flounder. e.g. In this article, why do we write la dangerosité du Covid-19, en cas d'opposition. Should it not be de Covid and de l'opposition? https://www.rfi.fr/fr/am%C3%A9riques/20210529-%C3%A9tats-unis-vaccination-des-plus-jeunes-la-difficult%C3%A9-de-convaincre-parents-et-adolescents. Thank you in advance for helping clarify.

Hello,

Just to confirm, worth here cannot mean the price of an object?
