Both fortement and fort can be used as an adverb

Hi Kwiziqers! Marc a une forte personnalité. Il défend ___ ses opinions.

To use ne or not to use ne in everyday conversation.

Hi, as I understand, the use of 'ne' in everyday 'street French' is gradually being omitted. Could you please clarify to what extent 'ne' is still used in this context.

Thank you

Je vais chez le boucher.

Why "Je vais chez le boucher" and not "Je vais au boucher" when for going to boulangerie and marché, the answers are " je vais à la boulangerie" and "je peux aller au marché"? Are there certain places we need to use "chez" instead of "à"?
