I have a pronunciation question. When do I know that the "ll" is pronounced "l" as in ville and when it is pronounced "y" as in vieille.
Is there a difference in meaning between "J'ai été là pendant quarante-cinq minutes" vs. "J'étais là pendant quarante-cinq minutes"? My inclination was to use passé composé because it was an action that happened and ended, but I see the latter sentence in the lesson example. Can someone please explain the difference?
The answer to the question is Je partirais si j'avais une voiture.
However, my question is about "j'avais une voiture." Why is it j'avais (imparfait) and not j'ai une voiture, considering that its in the present? Is this related to the subjunctif? Cause I have a feeling this has to do with the subjunctif :D
