    It’s anatomically and grammatically incorrect to use the plural form to refer to the brain of one person. You will only hear “brains” referring to one person in slang and colloquial phrases such as the ones you’ve mentioned.

    “Issue” has two primary connotations: 1) As a synonym for “problem” 2) As a synonym for “topic” “Error” simply means “mistake”. It doesn’t have any other meaning. If you want to say “cometer un error”, we say “to make a mistake”.

    The most natural translation would be: “I would be happy to do it” You’ll notice that I’ve changed the tense as well because the literal translation doesn’t work in English.

    By the way Teleya, there’s something a bit more subtle that I wish someone would have told me when I started learning French: There is something tricky called the “ne explétif”, which is basically when you use “ne” without “pas” after it - effectively the opposite of the situation you’ve described. It serves no grammatical purpose, but is considered “more elegant” after certain phrases that require the subjunctive: « Arrête, avant que le professeur n’arrive ! » I spent the first few years of my French study not knowing what the hell that little “ne” meant, so I hope it helps you too! If you want to learn more, just search « ne explétif ».

    Hi Elena, there’s something else that might help you understand the underlying grammar: In this case we don’t use the simple past tense. But why? Technically, it’s the imperfect subjunctive, just like in Spanish: “Si hablaras inglés, podríamos hacer un intercambio.” The reason this isn’t obvious in English is because the conjugation doesn’t look any different from the simple past, but the way it functions clearly is. In some verbs it will be easier to identify the subjunctive conjugation, such as “to be”: Si yo fuera en España... If I were in Spain... (not “If I was”) I hope that helps you understand the underlying grammar.
