In the sentence, ”In any case, we'd better plan for the worst.”, I translated the first part by "Quoi qu'il arrive", which was not accepted. Is this expression correct or incorrect in this context?
Although I found this exercise challenging (I gave myself 49 out of 70) keep them coming as I think I learn a lot, especially by examining the various alternatives.
Bonjour Frank,
We accept -
de toute façon
en tout cas
dans tous les cas
which is the closest to 'in any case', but we could have used the expression you suggest, meaning 'no matter what' or 'whatever happens', and also 'quoi qu'il en soit' without changing anything to the meaning.
Bonne Continuation !
