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.

[fresh oar]

Tenses don't correspond to 1 other tense between French and English

So he was can be il était or il a été depending on context

And il a été can be he was or he has been

Était and avait are imparfait

Btw your status is incomplete
N'importe quel is a determiner, you need a noun after it

N'importe quoi is like "nonsense", you can use it on its own

N'importe lequel is like "whichever one"

@cedar cape

[cedar cape]

oh, i wanted to use it to say "whatever."

how would i phrase that?

[cedar cape]

d'accord, merci beaucoup!

[cedar cape]

would it be "c'est n'importe quel"?

[cedar cape]

@fresh oar

[fresh oar]

no, youd still need a noun after that

[fresh oar]

can be peu importe ig

but its not really the same vibe

without context its hard to tell

can be je m'en fous

[cedar cape]
