i hate french i hate french so much like "what if abomination?" and What Is That turned into Qu'est-ce que c'est, like look at me in the eyes tell me my brain doesn't fall apart every time i try to remember verb tense pairs in writing (because that's a thing???)

#because you always have to pair présent with passé composé and imparfait with plus-que-parfait #otherwise your whole assignment can get marked as 'chronologically incoherent' (happened to me once) #and more complicated bullshit when u get to the conditionnel tenses and participe particles #and all of this applies to the indicative mode. wait until we get to subjonctif where you speak like a 18th century noble #and subjonctif is also the only way to formulate verbs if they fall into the “i must (x)” formula #the french love their linguistic theories and i cry anytime i try to remember the rules for plurals #to this day. as a native. i cannot say with certainty whether it's journals or journaux #the translator demon is up #post anesthetics posts
