I was asked to write "I am 10 minutes late" and I wrote "Je suis dix minutes en retard". I was told that this is incorrect, and the correct answer is "J'ai dix minutes de retard". Don't they both mean the same thing? Was I wrong?

I don't think!Would there be much of a difference between. I don't think it is interesting and I think it is not interesting. The first would be wth subjunctive and the second with the indicative. Would there be any preference to use one rather than the other. Would there be a slight change in meaning? thankyou.

I thought se coucher means "to go to bed" so it should not be necessary also to use the verb aller!

Incorrect question on test"This is a number written in French: "78,005". How would it be expressed in English?" I selected 78,005 as that's correct in English. However, 78.005 is the correct answer which means that the question is really "This is a number written in English: "78,005". How would it be expressed in French?"

subjunctive v indicative

can someone please explain why " je suis desolée que tu es triste" is in indicative but

"je suis desolée que ton roman n'aie pas été publié en france "is in the subjunctive

i assume it is to do with negativity but the je suis desoléé hasn't changed

thanks
