By the way, we would never say “At the Doctor”. It’s always “At the Doctor‘s”. This is short for “At the Doctor’s surgery”, although this expanded form is rarely said. So we would say “I’m going to the Doctor’s”, “I’m at the Doctor’s”, and so on. We can, however, use “Doctor” without the possessive with the statement “I’m going to see the Doctor”. Also, it’s worth mentioning that a surgery, in this context, is more-or-less an office and not anything like an operating theatre.

I am confused. Please help me out.
I would like to see my own translation again alongside the correct one.
By the time you were ready, the bus was already gone.
The given answer is: Le temps que tu sois prête, le bus était déjà parti.
But both clauses of his sentence seem to be in the past, so is it okay (even better) to write:
Le temps que tu aies été prête, le bus était déjà parti. ?
Hi.
How come 'croire ses yeux' but 'faire les ongles'? I thought that it should be 'croire les yeux' as possessive pronouns should not be used for parts of the body.
Thanks
