‹ Le voyage de Monsieur Perrichon (volume 5)Chapitre 72 sur 89 · il n'arrive toujours pas, *still he dœsn't come · texte numérisé non relu

il n'arrive toujours pas, *still he dœsn't come

Compare the force of toujours in this position with what it would be after ^.s, as in il n'est pas toujours ici, * he is not always hère.'

2. 12, toi. Render the double pronouns tu, toi in this line by

one pronoun ' you,' and emphasise it thus : 'if you ever come to my office. '

14. ne nous perdons pas. The reflexive verb often has reciprocal force. See next line also.

3. 5. prendre les billets, 'get( = buy) the tickets.' Prendre

is often equal to 'get': cf. aà Vavez-vouspris? ' where did you get it ?'
