We don't have much to eat

Is the following a possible translation?

Nous n'avons pas beaucoup à manger

(1) Why is "de" used in the clause "nous n'avions pas d'autre choix que de succomber à" before "succomber"? When is it used this way?

(2) Is it permissible to write "nous devions aller visiter" instead of "il fallait que nous allions visiter" in this context? When must one or the other be used?

"I really need you to find out the reason why it's not working anymore,"

Regarding the above please explain why the imperfect tense is used for the verb trouver (trouviez), I would have thought that either the present tense (trouvez) ... "you find out"

or the future tense (trouverez) ... "you will find out"

would correctly translate from the English text? 

Thank you.

Run into a problem with this one.. I am interpreting cheating as an ongoing state rather than something that is happening at this instant and, from the choices available, thought "être trichants" to better reflect that than "en train de".. this was in a general test and not specifically testing "en train de"

What would be the best way to say...  "He realizes you're cheating."?

Il réalise que vous êtes en train de tricher.

Il réalise que vous êtes trichants.

When and how do we know when to place the word in a sentence ,it's  so confusing 

Hi, there’s a missing “afin de” in the audio, and “griller” is said whereas “rôtir” is written. Great exercises though, they’re really useful. 

Je pense que je fais mieux que  26 de 60. 

Could I also say "pardon" for sorry, in this case? Thank you. 

I understand "des escargots"  but then why is it "les vins" ?  He tasted [some] snails... we drank [all the] wine?
