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.

Think of "il était une fois" as working the same way as "there once was" in English.

• There once was a king and a queen who lived in a castle.
  It wouldn't be correct without "who".

Ah! That makes sense. Thank you so much. I always heard it translated as “once upon a time.“

[robust stirrup]

that is quite literally what it means actually

il était = there was
une fois = once

Yes - I think the comma throws me off
