French language Q&A Forum

Just FYI a few of the lines of text do not show the translation when you hover over them.

What a confusing lesson!

The examples are all mixed up and do not clearly explain this lesson.

Either talk about CURRENCY or NUMBERS but not the two together.

If I wanted to write the sentence below in French, could I, using après que? Or would it have to be reworded? Would I still use the indicative, even though the action has not yet taken place and is uncertain, or is this a case where après que might take the subjunctive?

“After you arrive/have arrived home safely, then and only then will I go to bed.”

Couple of queries:-

In the sentence ' As I grew up, it was her melancholy ...' the advice is to use c'est. Why not c'était?

and,

In the sentence 'Barbara, as you used to sing (it) so perfectly, our most beautiful love story will always be you., the 'it' refers to the 'love story' which is feminine so 'comme tu le chantais' should be 'la'?

Thanks
