i'm going to start posting a bit more about language, in part to give me wee reminders on my own language journey, but also useful stuff along the way. so, for starters, here's this, a basic intro for french tenses. obvs, for english speakers but, both for me and in my experience, our grammar knowledge is so dire that keeping it simple is almost a prerequisite. plus, for adult learners, diagrams and pictures are a superhandy means to learning.
again, it's not the whole story, but if you're getting stuck, drawing a line and using post its, whether it's tenses, sentence structure (i'm looking at you swedish!) or whatever, it's a good tool.
lounge (v.) to pass (time) in lounging (usually fol. by away or out): to lounge away the afternoon. 1508, from Scot., of uncertain origin, "to lounge about, lie at full length," The noun in the sense of "comfortable drawing room" is first recorded 1881; in the sense of "couch on which one can lie at full length," 1830. Lounge lizard is from 1912, originally in reference to men who hung around in tea rooms to flirt.
