Weedon Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 [quote user="Clair"][quote user="J.R gone native"]So what about verbs?Je vais de le faire, je viens de le faire, etc?[/quote]This example (je viens de le faire / I have just done it) is completely different from the grammatical point discussed here.This refers specifically to a task which all involved in the dialogue have knowledge of:" - As-tu payé la note de de Gaulle? (Have you paid de Gaulle's bill?) - Oui, je viens de le faire." (I have just done it)EDIT: "Je vais de le faire" is incorrect. It should be "Je vais le faire" (I'm going to do it).[/quote] So what's the French for "Let him pay his own b****y bill?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 De Gaulle could be the plumber who's just unblocked your septic tank... You should really stay in his good books... [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
