"I think that I saw their phone number" : As "I" is the subject for both verbs i.e. "think" and "saw", would "Je pense avoir vu leur numéro quelque part" be an acceptable alternative here, or would that just be wrong?
In the last sentence, why is the verb form used, nous ne serons pas pris, instead of, nous ne prendrons pas. I'm not sure what this verb tense is.
I am looking at this sentence - 'Je passerais beaucoup de temps à prendre soin de lui, en lui parlant, le caressant, lui donnant des friandises - après m'être assuré qu'elles sont adaptées à ses besoins bien sûr !' - and thinking that the verb with 'adaptées' would naturally go into the subjunctive ('soient adaptées'), not the indicative, because the whole scenario is speculative rather than real. Or does this kind of hypothetical writing not normally call for the subjunctive?
I'm inferring from the context that "clou" here means something like "highlight" or perhaps "grand finale", but I was unable to anything like this sense in the reference materials that I have on hand. "The nail of this stay" doesn't make a lot of sense to me, so I figure it has to mean something else.
Help in sorting this out will be appreciated.
What do you mean by "question word"? eg. (question word) + noun + reflexive pronoun + auxiliary verb + pronoun + past participle,
Bonjour!
When to use être à vs the possessive pronouns? Spoken vs written or are they just interchangeable?
Merci :)
Could this be elle va être?
