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.

Almost exclusively in narrative contexts - so, think movie narration, books, could be campfire stories or something like that as well. Otherwise, very rarely.

helpful answer
thanks

so I do not need to learn it

[deft juniper]

Unless you're going to be reading or writing books, no
It's good to be able to at least recognize some of the major verbs, since they can sometimes look a bit confusing, but memorizing the full conjugation isn't necessary

Just having a general idea of what it looks like and some of the potentially confusing ones ("je vis" being passé simple of voir, not vivre)

Can be helpful

It's very low on the priority list for tenses to learn, though.

[rain sable]

even lower than the subjunctive

[dusky night]

the subjunctive is actually used daily

also it's actually not a tense 🤓

[deft juniper]

Subjunctive is quite important and used very frequently in everyday conversation

So it's not very low priority
