In a couple of days on this line you have managed to get into most of the current mare's nests. I can only offer two routes to you. 1. Stick to texts that use only _le_ and its family of descriptors, that avoid all abstractions and compound tenses, and indeed just about anything else really cute in the grammar OR 2. start fighting with the rest of us about what these odd things mean or how to say (only moderately) odd things with the devices we have at hand (cf. the gneral run of stuff on this list). Welcome aboard either way. pc>|83
