Another way to say - You need to have had your shower before noon."Il faut que tu aies pris ta douche avant midi." (You have to have had your shower before noon.You need to have had your shower before noon.) Would it also be correct to say the following: "Il faut que tu aies eu ta douche avant midi"?

TCF Vs TCF (ANF) Vs TCF Canada

Hi,

I know the basic difference between TCF Vs TCF (ANF) Vs TCF Canada and its specific purpose.

But my question is : Is the exam content almost the same in all these TCF exams.

For example, If I prepare for TCF, can I write TCF Canada?

Also, will clearing DELF exams will help in doing better in TCF exams?

certain -vs- (un) peu deSo I overlooked answering with "certain" for the question : Il y a un ___. (There is some risk.) As risk is uncountable I went with : Il y a un peu de risque. (There is a bit of risk.) In English I can think of instances where those differ (your example of full stress on "some" being one of them.) but they seem mostly interchangable. Any hints on when to use "certain" and when to use "(un) peu de" in French?
