Just to mention it, I’ve never heard anyone describe jumping from a diving board in this way. More conventionally, we’d instead say something like “and I’ll dive without fear”, or “and I’ll take the plunge without hesitation”.

Hi, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, "Je suis déjà passé chez le pharmacien mais les anti-douleurs qu'il m'a donnés n'ont malheureusement fait aucun effet."

Does "passé chez le pharmacien" mean to actually stop in and consult with the pharmacist, rather than simply passing by the store? This would indicate that passer has more complex meaning in this type of situation. Please advise.

Why is the "best answer" given as suer but the final para uses transpirer?

Can you advise why these words were wrong?

Ok, so "Comment cela se fait-il?" by itself is the formal way of saying "How come?"

"Comment cela se fait-il que..." is the formal way of saying "How come...?" but since it is redundant the cela is often dropped.

"Comment se fait-il?" is never said by itself.

Have I understood correctly?
