I have a question about using the verb 'espérer' with indicative/subjuncitive.
In the Writing Challenge 'A sudden reappearance' (15/06/2018), the translation of 'To be honest, at first I hoped that it might be an hallucination...' is 'Pour être honnête, j'ai d'abord espéré que ce soit une hallucination...'
I would have thought that this is an affirmative statement and that we could say 'c'était une hallucination...'
Can you start à sentence in French with an adverb?
Anxieusement, j'ai demandé: “Je ne comprends pas, qu'est-ce que vous avez fait? Est-ce légal ?
Sérieusement, il y a dix-huit temps de verbe différents en français !
When would the subjunctive be used in the imperative form?
Vive La France! is the expression that comes to mind.
Like personne ne ne personne
For replying negating answers I need to change personnel ne to be personnel so I need to all like me rien what should I change it to?
Is it necessary to use "toutes" in this sentence, or can one just say "...et soudain elles ont disparu? Does it change the meaning somehow?
