= to expect / to wait for [someone] or [something] J'attends mon frère tous les jours à la même heure.I wait for my brother every day at the same time.
'By the time my father succeeded' is translated as 'le temps que mon père réussisse'.
Could it also be 'le temps que mon père ait réussi'?
If so, are there stylistic considerations why you should chose one rather than the other?
Good trick. Ya got me. Quelqu'un clearly refers to Elle, yet it remains masculine. Really? In real life? They're standing looking at a little girl.

Can you tell me why it is coffee honey versus just honey?
I translated "at the moment" as "en ce moment", rather than "pour le moment". I believe either one is correct, but "en ce moment" is not listed as an alternative. Would it be incorrect to use that formulation in this context?
Why do I often hear 'Bonjour à tous et à toutes'! Doesn't 'tous' cover a mixed group?
