 Adventures in French


Ah, French transitive conjunctions, I'm sure I'll get the hang of them, one of these days. This week's lesson covered the following:

Pour: for, as in the amount of time for something to either have happened or will happen.

Pendant: during, covering the two points of time, between which, something happened.

Depuis: since, or from a point in the past, to the present.

I suppose I could write: 'J'ai loue un appartment dans le ville de Calistoga pour deux mois.'

I rented an apartment in Calistoga for two months.

Or: 'J'ai etudie la Japonaise pendant Juin-Aout, 2011.'

I studied Japanese from June to August, 2011.

Something like that. 

Eventually, this will get natural.
