I think there is value is amending the lesson to emphasize that sometimes means or or often based on the context.
For example: - at any moment; à tout prix - at any price; à tout propos - at any given opportunity; à tout venant - to anyone and everyone; de tout âge - at any age; en tout cas - in any case; en tout état de cause - in any case, in any event; si je le laisse seul, tout peut arriver - If I leave him alone, anything can happen;
Does this lesson apply in this example:
I want to say, I would really like to see you when I come to Paris."" Which is correct?
J'aimerais bien te rencontrer quand je serai venue à Paris! ou J'amerais bien te rencontrer quand je viens à Paris.
If the latter is incorrect, should I just think of this as saying... "when I will have come to Paris."
I haven't come across this before, and put "ma salle préférée". Is pièce used for all rooms of a house, if just talking about a room? Or is "salle" acceptable?
I came up with: Si il est mieux, le médicin lui donnera un certificat médical.
Thanks in advance
Could someone remind why the subjunctive (j'aie) is used in this context. Thanks
By the way, we would never say “At the Doctor”. It’s always “At the Doctor‘s”. This is short for “At the Doctor’s surgery”, although this expanded form is rarely said. So we would say “I’m going to the Doctor’s”, “I’m at the Doctor’s”, and so on. We can, however, use “Doctor” without the possessive with the statement “I’m going to see the Doctor”. Also, it’s worth mentioning that a surgery, in this context, is more-or-less an office and not anything like an operating theatre.
Could you just confirm whether, as a woman, I should be writing
Je suis allée..
Je suis partie... etc..
Thanks
I have found a number of diving sites that use < plongée libre >, as well as < plongée en apnée >. Decathlon uses both in its advertising, and Collins also translates 'free-diving' to < plongée libre >.
And for snorkelling - Larousse gives < faire de la plongée avec un tuba >, which seems to be about the only expression that gets the red line. (A mask is not essential equipment for snorkelling)

I was wondering as I am understanding adjectives. I'm confused on extrêmement! There was a sentence in my book that saying un extrêmement vieux livre but it was marked wrong when I put extrêmement at the end of the noun live. Why is that wrong?
Thank you!!
