Mon cousin Thomas joue aux jeux de société

i've also seen "jouer à des jeux de société" as the translation for "to play board games" (www.linguee.com). Are there two thoughts on the translation, eg.Canadian French ?

"Alain expected this situation to resolve itself."

Can someone please explain why the correct answer is:

"Alain s'attendait à ce que cette situation se résolve d'elle-même."


I don't see any sense of "dread" in the reading of this sentence.

Il ne croit pas en grand-choseIl ne croit pas en grand-chose

This is a test question. Could someone help to explain how to understand this "en" used here? I'll imagine "Il n'en croit pas grand-chose" would be correct.
