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.

The present tense. You can use this structure to say that you've been doing something since a certain time:

(verbe au présent) + depuis + (durée)

[jaunty sand]

Présent if you're still doing it
Passé composé if you're done
basically

[nimble sentinel]

“Have been studying” in the present perfect continuous in English. Like in English, we use a French present tense in this sort of situation. Since present perfect and continuous don’t exist in French, we just use the present.
