pour m'être assisJe me demande que je sois dire < j'ai peur que je serai puni pour m'être assis à côté de toi>. En anglais ça veut dire <I fear that I may be punished for sitting next to you>. Autrement dit, je veux utiliser le temps futur. Quelque fois, j'essaie d'utiliser les temps différent que vous avez employé. Merci, Don
