Un mauvais jour
Hier, après de que j'ai passé le du temps avec ma famille, j'ai je suis rentrée et j'ai donné des poivrons rouges à mes cochonnes cochons d'Indes. L'un d'eux n'a pu pas manger, donc je l'ai apporté amené chez le au vétérinaire. Malhuereusement malheureusement il s'est elle a cassé une dent. Le pauvre!Here are some explanations :
- we say "après avoir passé du temps" or " après que j'ai passé du temps". Be careful with the use of "après que" + indicatif. Many French people use the subjunctive which is a common mistake. The logic behind that is when you say "after spending some time", you did spend some time, the action actually happened. On the opposite, we use "avant que" + subjonctif because the following action did not happen yet. Which gives : "avant d'avoir passé du temps" or "avant que je (ne) passe du temps" ("ne" being optional but more elegant).
- one says "apporter quelque chose" but "amener quelqu'un" (which is also valid for an animal). That is also a subtlety many French people are not familiar with.
Feel free to ask if you have more questions, I'd be happy to answer.
Bon courage !
