In all your examples, the two subjects are different. But what happens when they are the same? Can you just use the infintive?
For example
Unless I want to buy something, I only need my house key.
À moins que JE veuille acheter quelque chose, JE n'ai besoin que de ma clé de maison.
À moins de vouloir acheter quelque chose, je n'ai besoin que de ma clé de maison.
Is there a special term for "airline food" that captures the reality of how terrible it is?! In U.S. we make jokes about it.
Bonjour, take some =
prends-t'en ou prenez-vous-en?
Merci
I have a question about using the verb 'espérer' with indicative/subjuncitive.
In the Writing Challenge 'A sudden reappearance' (15/06/2018), the translation of 'To be honest, at first I hoped that it might be an hallucination...' is 'Pour être honnête, j'ai d'abord espéré que ce soit une hallucination...'
I would have thought that this is an affirmative statement and that we could say 'c'était une hallucination...'
