I've always been confused by this: "j'aurai du" translates as "I should have" and not as "I will have had to...." but these are not quite the same, I think. "I will have had to catch the 22 bus" suggests that I did catch that particular bus, to achieve whatever, whereas "I should have" suggests that I didn't catch that bus, and perhaps failed in my intention. Similarly for "j'aurai pu" - "I could have" not "I will have been able".
Any advice/explanation appreciated!
Hello!! I would really like to know the difference between chercher and rechercher.
Thank you so much
When do we use "changer de" and when do we use "changer"? What is their difference?
Thank you
The translation Is ‘I didn’t recognize you.’
Please explain why the plus que parfait is used here instead of the passé compose.
Thanks.
Greetings, What would it look like to turn these phrases into questions in order to ask how deep, tall, wide, or long something is?
