Please be patient

I would have said or written your first tetement like this> si j'avais la chance d'avoir du temps ... but that's me, I tend to simplify as much as possible when I talk

ils s' approchent à grand pas

#

I am not a native speaker, but that is how I would say it. so take it witha grain of salt.

« arrivent à grand pas » wdym by that

#

Keeping « avoir le luxe de » seems fine but I’ve not encountered this formulation in French

#

something like, ‘I can’t afford/have the luxury of staying’ sounds to me like ‘I can’t allow myself to stay’ so « je peux pas me permettre de rester » might be a good translation

mais si cette phrase est employée au sens figuré, que le sujet qui avance à grands pas n'a pas de jambes par exemple, alors le singulier est toléré.

Also, you’re missing a relative pronoun. What is around the corner?

#

my exams, i wrote it previously "pour mes examens"
does that not count ?

red night
bright token
#

what would i change it to ?

#

how can i add the relative pronoun into my sentence ?

red night
bright token
#

So

#

Pour mes examens, que approcher à grands pas

red night
# bright token Ohh

Okay, quick qui/que. Relative pronouns mean that a pronoun replaces something, its meaning is given in relation to something. Say you have this sentence: « je connais le voisin (I know the neighbour) ». You have two more sentences that you want to join to that sentence: (a) « ma mère connait aussi le voisin (my mother also knows the neighbour) » and (b) « le voisin est professeur (the neighbour is a professor) ».
What can we glean from these two new sentences? Notice the placement of « le voisin », the shared noun in all three. It's the object of (a) and the subject of (b), right? (a) talks about your mother knowing him while (b) talks about the neighbour being a professor. This helps us determine whether or not we use « que » or « qui ». « que » is used to replace objects while « qui » is used to replace subjects. So, if we combine (a) to the sentence, and (b) to the sentence, which do we use?

(1) Je connais le voisin … ma mère connait aussi.
(2) Je connais le voisin … est professeur.
Which goes where?

Uh

#

I think

#

(1) is Que and (2) is qui ?

red night
#

Wonderful!

#

Okay, let's look at your sentence then

red night
# bright token Uh

« J'ai l'intention de me préparer pour mes examens … [approcher] à grands pas. »
If I had to split this into separate sentences, which would be right for the second sentence:
(1) J'approche à grands pas à mes examens
(2) Mes examens approchent à grands pas

bright token
#

The 1st one Does not look right

#

I have guessed , Im not entirely sure

red night
#

so « mes examens » is the subject which means you put…?

bright token
bright token
#

Is it:
(1) Your exams are around the corner
or
(2) You are coming around the corner to your exams
