Hey! Why in the examples is it "j'ai de chance" and not "J'ai de la chance"?
Hi, am I correct in thinking the following. [A] “Allez” & “monte” in this sentence are in the Impératif Présent, and [B] that “Allez” is in the second person plural because it’s directed at the multiple members of the family, and that “monte” is in the second person singular (familiar) because it is referring to “tout le monde” which is a singular entity?
Why is there "le" in the sentence: Tu révèles ton secret et nous révélons le notre.
the pronunciation tip at the end of this page says that -ais and -ai are pronounced the same. I found a comment by a duolingo mod linking to two pages that says otherwise:

On forvo it does indeed sound like there is a subtle difference between aimerai and aimerais. é vs è. I hear the difference best when listening to other -ais words on forvo such as vais, sais, etc. It is subtle, but can someone else confirm that there is indeed an actual difference that contradicts the tip on this page?
