futur proche?
Camille, tu vas te brosser les dents, s'il te plaît ? Pourquoi posez-vous cette question comme ça, dans le futur proche?
Asked 1 day ago
Salut Raymond,
We have the scenario of a stressed mother who wants her daughter to clean her teeth.
Given her stress, the mother does not want to be too direct or dictate to her daughter, thereby possibly provoking an undesirable reaction.
So the mother floats the idea to her daughter to clean her teeth by using the softer style of a strong yet subtle query/request.
This is where I see the value of using a futur proche query but, in reality; an instruction in a query format.
This is how I see it -- I hope this helps.
Bonne journée
Jim
