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.

devoir is fine
so is using "il faut que je …"

[nova socket]

You can say je suis obligé d'étudier

[sour iris]

you also have the construction "avoir à" which has the same meaning as "have to" but it's generally only used in French in the negative
"you don't have to worry about that" → "tu n'as pas à t'en faire"

[nova socket]

To emphasize on the subject you can say c'est moi qui dois étudier

On the object, you can say c'est ça que je dois étudier

To emphasize on the verb im not sure, other than using a stronger synonym or an adverb

Il faut vraiment que j'étudie

[radiant linden]

okay, thank you guys!

[opaque remnant]

je suis obligé d'étudier sounds like someones forcing you to study

Just say faut que j'etudie

[nova socket]

In English it does, in French less so

[nova socket]

You can but there's no emphasis then

[opaque remnant]

nah bro im telling you

[nova socket]

Ragebait

[opaque remnant]

[nova socket]

Well

Stop telling me how my native language works then

[opaque remnant]

lol you just don't like getting corrected

french is my native language as well

[nova socket]

Get the right role then

[nova socket]

Je te promets que c'est possible de dire je suis obligé sans qu'il y ait qqun en particulier qui te force
