How to type the accent marks into my answers
I don't understand the introduction of 'n' in 'avant qu'il n' arrive'.Can you please explain.
Confused again.. your examples all use the form “il est dix heures vingt-cinq”.. in response to “quelle heure est-il”, would c’est dix heures vingt-cinq be equally acceptable?
Can it ever be “ Toute ce qui/que”
Feminine? or is it a fixed expression?
How do I say 'I am well'?
Both of the sentences above are translated as "J'ai du le faire".
BUT the two formulations in English have not-very-subtle differences in meaning.
"I had to..." implies "I was obligated to.." or "I was forced to..." - very definite!
"I must have..." implies "I may have forgotten to ..." -- quite indefinite!
How are these different flavors of meaning expressed en francais?
je me repose là pendant quelques minutes.
je m'y repose pendant quelques minutes.
je m'y relaxe durant quelques minutes.
May I know what the me y make the meaning different here from me only?
Sorry, if my questions may sound dumb but i am a curious person. Not satisfying my curiosity can keep me in a blank world of confusion.
