If I were to ask you to be mine forever... Explanation: Although the verb in the French is not conjugated in the subjuntive, the very fact that the speaker (I) is exclaiming something that might not be a reality calls for the use of the subjunctive (were) in the English translation. |

If I asked you to be mine forever, would you say "yes"? Explanation: For some reason, ProZ included the whole sentence -- " Si je vous demandais d'etre le mien pour toujours, diriez-vous oui?" -- in its e-mail notice about this query, but didn't print the entire sentence in the actual request for help as it appears above. |
