What's the difference between juste au cas ou and au cas ou. Both seem to be translated as just in case?

Does the impersonal expression 'ça roulait très mal' literally mean the traffic was very bad ?

Why I was wrong with imparfait?

'Et le dimanche, j'ai rejoint Mia' is one of the possible translation answers to: - " And on Sunday, I met up with Mia"

However, the lesson 'Using le with days of the week + weekend'  states that "You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday):

Could you please explain why the use of LE in this context is a correct answer.  Thank you

Why is the first "Il a de l'argent", but the l' is gone in the negative "Il n'a plus d'argent"

Hello .

I was asking why is it .that some words are join when u speak them and other are divided when u speakin..why

1. Can I use "empirer" instead of exacerber or aggraver in the sentence "ce qui ne faisant qu'exacerber les problèmes ..."? 

2. Why do we use faire ... instead of the word itself? 

Can ensuite be replaced with puis in this sentence?  Are the two interchangeable or is there a slight difference in usage?

If a color derives from a real thing or a you have color + a real thing the color adjective never agrees according to the lesson.  Therefore, I am confused as to why an example in a quiz marked the following incorrect:

X une chemise bleu marin

I am given :  une chemise bleue marine    as the correct response

Marin is sailor or seafarer which is a real thing. This lead me to believe there would be no agreement.

Anyone else struggle with the distinction ? Like me, you may use “finalement” too much (and then wonder why it gets the strikethrough) !

The attached link is a good “explication” - it is all in French, but Hugo speaks clearly and if you want a boost in confidence in your aural comprehension and more practice listening without being overwhelmed, his podcasts and videos would be worth listening to for that reason alone.
