The question was what does the following mean: "Je vais au restaurant plus tard" and one of the answers I picked was, I will come to the restaurant later." It was marked wrong. But I just took a lesson on using the present tense to describe the near future. I'm confused.
correct answers in weekend challenge:
qui devrait nous livrer les fleurs dans l'apres-midi
tu prendras ta voiture le matin
these seem to me to be the same sentence structure. Why is dans not used consistently? what about in the evening or night?
anyone able to help me understand?
thank you
I feel like sometimes I've seen these used in an interchangeable manner (devoir and avoir à). What I told my students was that "devoir" also means "must", so "avoir à" needs to be used in situations where "must" doesn't fit (i.e. "You don't have to go yet." "Tu n'às pas encore à partir."). Is this correct? In what other situations do you need to use one over the other?
