The French are more open-minded than people from other countries. They are more accepting of non-traditional relationships. Henri, a 40-year-old, and Aurelie, an 18-year-old, are in an intimate relationship. They are walking past swimsuits in a department store and Henri tells Aurelie that the swimsuit would look good on her. It is a male bikini bottom. She replies that women swimsuits have a top.
Can we have a lesson on the subjunctive mood where Henri expresses his wishes and desires regarding Aurelie?
I want you to go with me to (name of topless beach).
I want you to swim the same way as the other women (à la topless).
I want you to do as I say.
Off hand can you think of other examples of how the French are more open-minded?
