D. asked "Why 'Elle aurait eu froid' rather than 'Elle aurait été froid' "?

Great question! Remember that "to be cold" is avoir froid in French, not "être froid." This applies to all tenses:

Elle a froid - She is cold.
Elle avait froid - She was cold.
Elle aurait eu froid - She would have been cold.
etc.

Parfait! J'ai oublié que avoir froid est la response juste. Merci. J'ai appris quelque chose aujourd'hui comme tous les jours que j'utilise Kwizbot.
