Why does bavarder here not agree in gender and number? Or am I missing something?
Please help, I have struggled with lesson for awhile now.
When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the participle doesn't generally match the subject, only when the auxiliary verb is être.
Thank you Chris. Now I need to re-study that!
Puis-je utiliser le mot "néanmoins" au lieu de "malgré tout" dans cette phrase? La phrase est <Nous aurons apprécié ce repas malgré tout>. Est-ce qu'il y a quelque chose en particular avec malgré tout que j'aie peut-être raté? Je pense que vous voulez dire "despite everything".
I've always been confused by this: "j'aurai du" translates as "I should have" and not as "I will have had to...." but these are not quite the same, I think. "I will have had to catch the 22 bus" suggests that I did catch that particular bus, to achieve whatever, whereas "I should have" suggests that I didn't catch that bus, and perhaps failed in my intention. Similarly for "j'aurai pu" - "I could have" not "I will have been able".
I think you are confusing the futur antérieur (future perfect) and the conditionnel antérieur (past conditional).
Note: aurais has an 's' here.
Note that after words like when, as soon as, once denoting time we use the future in French as opposed to the present in English.
Just to add a bit extra to Cécile's great answer, the first person forms of these two tenses sound identical, so you can only tell which is meant from the context. The conditional past introduces modal verbs (would/should) and so does devoir and that can get very complicated and confusing quickly.
In most cases, there's another tense and clause involved that gives clear context and often the literal translation isn't even in the same tense as the same idiomatic expression in English.
It's incredibly hard to contrive an example with devoir for the future anterieur (in either language) - it's unlikely you'll come across it at all.
Hope that helps to clear away some of the confusion!
P.S. You can look up how to conjugate avoir to see (and listen to) all six forms of the Conditionnel passé and Futur antérieur.
when does the past participle agree in number and gender with the object ?
