An example is : Vous avez abattu la victime de sang froid with the translation : You shot down the victim in cold blood. Does abattre imply shooting, or would attacked,assaulted,slaughtered or killed be correct ?
Can puis be used instead of ensuite. As this was not presented as a correct alternative.
mais 'puis' je me suis réveillé, et ce n'était qu'un rêve !
Qu’est-ce-que c’est que la voiture dans la rue?
Writing challenge c1 camping: Although she had already been camping in this forest for a week.
Bien qu 'elle campe déjà dans cette forêt depuis une semaine.
I understand that bien que triggers the subjective and confirming my assumption that campe is used because she was still camping at the time, but not sure why the subjective passé is also right. Does already effect the tense in this case.
If I say "I have been living in Paris for 4 years" is it correct to say either:
#1 J'habite à Paris depuis quatre ans or #2 J'ai été habiter à Paris quatre ans.
