I have come across uses of le conditionnel passé avec devoir where the meaning appears to lean more towards “would have” than “should have”. Par exemple “les alertes auraient dû sauver des vies”, by the context of the article could have been interpreted as a praise of the alert system as opposed to criticising the fact that the alert system did not do its job. Alternatively, it could mean criticism of people for not taking notice of the alerts. So, does “ils auraient dû + infinitive” always mean “should have”, or is there some subtle shading of meaning?
For this sentence:
Je ferai parvenir le dossier à Jean Des que possible. The answer is je lui ferai parvenir le dossier Des que possible.
But when I have Je ferai parvenir ce document à votre avocat it translates to Je le lui ferai parvenir.
Can someone help me?
Thank you
This exercise only accepts "Je ne sais pas quoi dire" as translation, but I just wanted to confirm that "Je ne sais que dire" is also correct, or is there some difference in meaning between the two that excludes the latter?
