btaller8 : so, you can't subjuntive your self, right? like, "we wish that we ameliorate" would be indicative, right? while "we wish that he ameliorates" would be subjunctive
btaller8 : also, what is the english translation of the "Que tu suives" form?
KevinFace : yup
KevinFace : that you follow
KevinFace : Je demande que tu suives: i ask that you follow
timtoutcourt : "We keep you (sing.) from doing drugs
timtoutcourt : "We keep you (sing.) from doing drugs" cannot be translated by "Nous empêchons que tu ne fasses les drogues". In French, we don't say like "do drugs" but more "consommer de la drogue" (use drugs) or "se droguer" as a verb. Thank you for correcting this mistake.
