Bonjour, pourriez-vous changer un petit truc dans le passage, s’il vous plaît? Au lieu de la phrase
I’m confused by the instruction given for how to use this phrase. Both present and imparfait are defined as “used to” in the examples. what am I missing? Of course for the very first question about this topic I bombed. And I don’t know why. Is there any additional instruction on this topic?
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?
Can you say "la plupart de mon weekend" or "la majorite de mon weekend" here?
^ for this sentence, the speaker in the recording is a female voice. Wouldn't it be nouvelle if a woman is speaking?
