French language Q&A Forum

In that exercise there is one sentence whose English doesn't quite jibe with me:

-- The kids finished the ones we'd brought.

I don't think the use of past perfect tense here corresponds to what you would actually use in English. You'd be more likely to hear:

-- The kids finished the ones we brought.

But I realize that in French you would actually use le plus-que-parfait:

-- Les enfants ont finis celles que nous avions emportées.

As it stands, the English sounds a bit off but it gives a strong hint as to which tense to use in the French version. Still, I would use imperfect in English and, if necessary, provide a hint for the French.

What do the professionals think?

Bonjour tout le monde !Je voudrais savoir: comment on peut exprimer l'intention en français ? J'ai realisé que j'utilise ces expressions d'intent tout les temps en anglais. Par example : "He said he WOULD do it" ou : "I WAS GOING TO come, but..." ou : "It was supposed to be..." etc,J'éspere que vous pouvez comprendre mon français. S'il vous plaît, n'hésitez pas à corriger les erreurs.

Hi

How come there is no subjunctive after 'Il faut dire que'?  

Merci

Why is vous vous appellez require 2 vous’s

If heard that in spoken french the ne is often dropped, so would c´est pas be a correct way of saying it isn´t?

Can déranger be used instead of embêter
