Re Daniel E’s post and responses below
I’m finding the use of the subjunctive past for future actions unexpectedly tricky, I think because the English "I need to leave by nine" or "they need us to arrive", already includes the idea of a completed future action (you can’t leave without having left or arrive without having arrived!)
Is the subjunctive present ever an option in this type of sentence or is the subjunctive past mandated?
Hi Team,
Does the following sentence work in French:
Cela ne tient pas compte d'effets négatifs de la lumière bleue qui perturbe notre horloge biologique.
Bonne journée !

for example jouer - becomes je jouerai so you dont pronounce the e after this i either?
