In the "après que" lesson, should the above example read instead
Après que j'ai vu ce film, j'ai été bouleversé.
in order for the tense to agree with that of the main verb as indicated?
Of course, " j'étais bouleversé" sounds closer to "I was overwhelmed"
If the answer is no, what is the difference in meaning between the two "options"?
Thank you,
Anna
You explain that following au cas où, you would be tempted to use the subjunctive, but must use the conditional, but you do not say why?
j'ai faim pour la nourrive de mexicain ( i am hungry for mexican food).
did this make sense?
The last sentence is Elle n'en croira pas ses yeux! Why is "en" used in this context?
It’s some consolation to me, having read all the submissions, that I’m not the only one having difficulty with this concept. Has the reconstruction, promised a year ago, been implemented yet? If not, may I make a suggestion? How about, instead of asking "If she could fly, she would go to the moon.", ask instead "If she was able to fly, she would go to the moon.”?
For "these old objects" I tried "ces objets anciens" and was corrected to "ces anciens objets". Is ancien going before the noun here because there is some sense of former-ness (the objects aren't what they used to be), even though they are still objects?
Why "prevoir" for "nous avons prévu d'aller..." instead of "nous avons organisé (or planifié)?
I understand "prevoir " to mean "foresee" , but if she made plans then it would seem to me organisé or planifié would be more accurate. Thanks.
''je l'emmene diner ''Don't we need to put ''pour or de'' between emmener and diner?
