French Perfect - Lawless French - French Past
$MMT is window.
You need the past perfect to talk about something that would, could, or should have happened.
The past perfect is used to indicate what would or wouldn't have happened if something else happened.
Both of these actions happened in the past.Since you did not leave me alone, I didn't finish the work.
The perfect can also be used without a dependent action.
The conditionnel passé is only used in French to report unconfirmed or hypothetical news.
I don't think I've heard of that phenomenon before, thanks for talking about the past for hypothetical or unconfirmed news.How can I find more examples of this?
Over the years, I have noticed that it has never been addressed anywhere.There is no Le Bon usage.
I use a lot of newspaper articles to brush up my french and this was making me angry as I couldn't find any rules about it.It is said that, according to the resources that mention it.Can it be used in a conversation for trivial things such as 'It's said that the newsagent is selling up and moving to Spain'?
It would sound odd.I would either say il a d vendre or j'ai entendu dire qu'il vend.
