I do not understand why hope is not expressed in the subjunctive - "J'espère que la circulation ne sera pas trop mauvaise."  What is the difference between "espèrer" et "penser" when using the subjunctive?

By the way, "J'en ai pour cinq minutes maximum" is the type of little idiomatic phrase that I talk about as necessary to really speak French.  It doesn't really translate verbatim, but it's a common phrase you have to understand.  Thanks.

what is the y a for

Tôt is wrong to say you are early today? Why? 

1) To copy (record) something onto a notebook : copier qch. dans un carnet ?

2) To copy (fraudulently) the exercise from a friend : copier l'exercice sur un ami ?

3)  To copy some sentences from a book  : copier des phrases sur un livre ?
