| 8.3.5.3 After phrases of irreality |
Phrases of irreality require the subjonctif. If we now have a very closed look into the phrases it is less the pure irreality that we are talking about, but more the feeling of irreality of the speaker phrasing the sentence.
| Examples | |
| il est impossible = it is impossible | |
|
Il est impossible qu' il le sache. |
| It is impossible that he knows it. | |
| il est hors de question = it is out of question | |
|
|
Il est hors de question que nous payions pour pouvoir respirer. |
| It is out of question that we pay for being able to breathe. | |
