When to use "récupérer"?Je vais d'abord passer chez le poissonnier pour récupérer les huîtres.

Is récupérer interchangeable with acheter? Can I use récupérer for clothes shopping?

e.g. Je vais récupérer une robe

Translation of "to sail'

In my dictionary, the verb, sail, is translated as "naviguer" or "faire de la voile". The latter, which I used in the first sentence, was accepted. I believe that "faire de la voile" was not accepted in the second sentence nor in the last sentence of this exercise. Is there a distinction that I am missing or is it just a question of the use of variation in this paragraph?

Why not "juste" au cas où?

The question:

Nous sommes partis _________ au cas où.

We left early just in case.

I answered: "en avance juste"

....and was marked incorrect for adding the "juste".

Could someone please explain why my answer was wrong?
