L'année dernière, j'ai été vraiment malade vs L'année dernière, j'étais vraiment maladeSimilar question to Clif... Is the second option acceptable, and if so, is there any difference in meaning/emphasis? I was taught that j'ai été vraiment malade was used more to express "I have been really ill" in a sentence such as "Sorry I haven't been to see your recently, but I've been really ill" ...... is that correct? Also, is it grammatically correct (and common usage) to say: j'ai été mangé (I have been eating) Thanks in advance

Can these sentences also be translated as ought?e.g. Je devrais apprendre le français = i should or ought to learn french? In English ought is stronger than should, but in french, how would you distinguish them if at all?
