Hi, for “I'd rather be a witch!” = “Je préfèrerais être une sorcière !”. Should the spelling be “préférerais”?

Also, just to let you know, the audio for “ dont je me servirais dans des buts plus ou moins néfastes...” needs correcting.

Mon voyage autour du monde a été une aventure merveilleuse.

Isn't it an opinion? Description? 

Hello, 

This is the sentence I'm talking about: He was sick all day yesterday.

This is why I'm confused: 

a) It could be imparfait because I believe that when you talk about health, you use the imparfait.

b) It could be passé composé because you know the time-frame of when it (him being sick) took place: all day yesterday.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this should be , "dûe à" , not "due à"

I have a feeling both spellings are accepted ?

Comments anyone ?

Thanks, Paul.

How do I know canines are feminine? Because the singular ends in ‘e?’

I'm afraid they will be naughty.

(HINT: Conjugate "faire" in the Subjonctif présent)

The suggested correct answer is "fassent"; but why is it not "feront"? Surely, even in French, there is a difference in meaning between "I'm afraid they will be naughty" and "I'm afraid they are naughty"?

Hello there ! I've got a question about subjonctif, can we conjugate these verbes: {penser, croire, imaginer, espérer} on "futur proche ou future simple"? 

I mean are they common? 

Ex: Après le procès de la semaine prochaine, Julie croira que Margaret est innocente.

And also :Après le procès de la semaine prochaine,Julie ne croira pas que Margaret soit innocente. 

I understand that one uses the present tense for the immediate future, but when does the future lose its 'immediate' character? I would think that tomorrow is NOT immediate, and would require the future tense!

C'était tout ce à quoi je m'intéressais.

Why à quoi? Why not auquel since it's s'intéresser à [qch] ?

Thank you!
