Would this be passé composé or imparfait?

Hello,

This is the sentence I'm talking about: He was sick all day yesterday.

This is why I'm confused:

a) It could be imparfait because I believe that when you talk about health, you use the imparfait.

b) It could be passé composé because you know the time-frame of when it (him being sick) took place: all day yesterday.

Weekend workouts

Hi, do the weekend workouts get added to the relevant category (in this case Writing B1)?

I’m wondering if I’m seeing the WWs by working through the main Writing/Reading/etc. categories, or if I need to go through the WWs as an additional activity.

Missing definite article?

Why is it not “avant le dîner” in both examples? In the example with Je doit it’s just avant dîner.

Nous avons goûté les rougails à la saucisse

We say “j’aime le chocolat” (in general) or “j’ai mangé du chocolat” (a quantity). So I thought the translation for “we tasted sausage rougails with yellow rice” might be “nous avons goûté DES rougails”, but the answer was “nous avons goûté LES rougails”. I thought it would follow the same logic as the accompanying yellow rice, “… avec du riz jaune”. But my reasoning is obviously not quite correct. Can someone please explain why “les” and not “des” for the rougails?

Avoir un renseignement Elle me fait du mal quand elle dit ça.She hurts me when she says that.
Hello everyone one, there is little thing I can’t able to understand that is why before « quand » we are not using the preposition « à » when the expression have fixed- faire du mal à. After « mal » there should be a preposition. But in that sentence there is not. Why is it. Thank’s in advance.
