S'est occupée is passé composé. This is a single action completed in the past. But the text describes an action over the years. Why not s'occupait?
Could "de" be used here instead of "en" ? Any thoughts?
Shouldn’t it be …. Mais où s’est passée Lola?
( but what has happened to Lola) instead of mais où est passés Lola?
A similar question has been asked but I dont understand why "à" is needed when "regarder" means "to watch"? So why is the extra "à" needed? I couldn't find anything that says "rester" is followed by "à" anywhere?
When to use Le Subjonctif Présent or Le Subjonctif Passé?
Regardless of the tense used in the main clause, the question is whether the main clause action will go on until the action after jusqu'à ce que happens, or until it has happened and stopped:
On est restés à l'intérieur jusqu'à ce que la pluie s'arrête. We stayed inside until the rain stopped.I've managed to confuse myself. In the example above surely the rain has completed its stopping – so should the phrase be:
On est restés à l'intérieur jusqu'à ce que la pluie se soit arrêtée
We stayed inside until after the rain had stopped
Or are both correct? Or am I just over-thinking this?
