A bit more complicated?

Rob L.C1Kwiziq community member

The lesson contains the sentence "To express the more formal expression for fear that / out of fear that + verb in the Conditional (= for fear that you would do this) or may do/might do in French, the structure is a bit more complicated". My question is: a bit more complicated than what? It's confusing.

This question relates to:French lesson "De peur que + ne explétif + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) = for fear that in French"

You are correct. A slight rewording of the English explanatory sentence would prevent people to go looking for what it might refer to as "less complicated" vs. "more complicated":
