Key Grammar Structures
-
Tellement, tellement, tellement d'choses à t'dire
➔ Use of "tellement de + noun" (so much/many) to express quantity.
➔ "Tellement de" means "so much" or "so many". It is followed by a noun. In this case, "choses" (things).
-
J'voulais qu'on devienne rois de la ville
➔ Subjunctive mood after "vouloir que".
➔ The verb after "vouloir que" (to want that) must be in the subjunctive mood. Here, "devienne" is the subjunctive form of "devenir" (to become).
-
Si j'te disais tout, j'rentrerais tard
➔ Conditional sentences type 2 (Si + imperfect subjunctive, conditional present).
➔ This sentence expresses a hypothetical situation. "Si j'te disais" (If I told you) is in the imperfect subjunctive, and "j'rentrerais" (I would go home) is in the conditional present.

Vaut mieux réparer la fissure avant qu'le carreau éclate
➔ Use of "avant que" requiring the subjunctive mood.
➔ The conjunction "avant que" (before) always requires the subjunctive in the clause that follows it. "Éclate" is the subjunctive form of "éclater" (to burst).
