Thanks for these, I’ve added them to my Brainscape app (It’s good, basically flashcards for your iPhone).
I also added ‘toute la journée’ & ‘toujours’ which I confuse with ‘tous les jours’
Great work Rachel! And yes, they are very useful indeed! A lot of people get confused with “toujours” & “tous les jours”…Practice them every day and you’ll be able to use them perfectly well very soon 😉
