    The sentence is confusing, you said "He became a doctor for a few years", I'm not sure this is what you wanted to say. Anyway here are some alternatives. - Il a exercé comme médecin pendant quelques années (he practiced as a doctor for a few years [unheard: then moved on to some other job...], equivalent to original sentence but no confusion possible) - Il lui a fallu plusieurs années pour devenir médecin (it tooks him a few years to become a doctor [unheard: studying...]) - Il est médecin depuis quelques années (he's been a doctor for a few years now) - il est devenu médecin après plusieurs années d'études (he became a doctor after many school years)

    The most general would be : - après m'être entrainée durant de nombreuses années (sport) - à la suite de plusieurs années de formation (éducation) Yet, as Chris and Amelie pointed out, the verb "train" as many meanings depending on the context, so you may have to adapt the sentence.

    As an alternative in spoken language you'll often hear : "(ou bien) elle est fâchée, ou bien elle est triste", "elle est probablement en colère, ou alors triste". The "soit ... soit" is more reserved to math or logic sentences, in this case I think the "ou" is more common.

    I agree with bouspoon. But I think also that we would use "partir est un tel déchirement (tear)" for the second sentence instead of using sadness.

    Demi is invariable when it is placed before noun or adjective. It can take the feminine mark (never plural though) when placed after. In your case, UNE heure is feminine while UN midi is masculine. https://www.projet-voltaire.fr/regles-orthographe/demi-ou-demie/

    - faire les frais = subir les conséquences (to bear the consequences) So we can imagine, the "brochure" (= pamplet) is a short text very critical about him. - faire un tollé = when there is a scandal, this is the result of noise made in disapproval of allegations In this case, we can assume the brochure was full of lies or at least perceived as such (and denied) by the majority clan.

    This expression is used to expose your current status, the point you have reached. = this is where I stand for now It can be about serious matter (achievement in life, career, ...) but also trivial (e.g. you make a cake, "j'en suis à la cuisson", I reached the baking stage). EN in this case embed all the context.

    La phrase proposée ne fonctionne pas bien car être bâti prend un COD et pas un COI, donc on ne peut pas utiliser "de". Je propose des variantes : - avant qu'il ne soit bâti, les habitants devaient faire jusqu'à 100 km - avant d'en être munie (*), ... - avant sa construction, ... (*) = avant que la ville ne dispose de cet hôpital
