Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

#

Right, same thing for French.
Their tense systems are actually pretty similar. In both languages (though even more extremely in English than in French), most tenses are compound tenses made by conjugating an auxiliary verb and sticking a participle form of the actual verb after it

#

This system is actually unusual and mostly found in western European languages. Most languages out there have 2 or 3 tenses or even no grammatical tense distinction at all.

Please change your profile to something appropriate and not provocative

#

and be respectful towards others members, if someone tell you that they are not comfortable with something, respect it

#

having a provocative profile is in fact doing something wrong

#

there is no point in having such profile, you're just trying to be provocative

#

last time I'm asking for you to change this profile
