question
In French, can we use the future tense to talk about possibility? ex) Sometimes you'll be going along and you'll see no one you know; other times you'll see three friends in one day.
Does the past tense for present tense still have a mitigating function? ex) I just wanted to say hello.

graillons le gratin.
j'aime le gratin. c'est une croûte de fromage ou de chapelure, et c'est délicieux; divin. hier soir j'ai fait le macaroni au fromage avec une chapelure faite à la maison. et on a bien graillé.
c'est une résolution de la nouvelle année de faire plus souvent la cuisine.
je vais aussi écrire plus souvent ici; j'ai plein de pensées à partager grâce à mon dictionnaire Linternaute sur l'iPhone qui m'apprend tout ce qui est courant ;)
OH LA LA mon rêve hier soir était une partie en français!! j'ai demandé aux gens, "êtes-vous courant?" et quand la réponse était oui, je leur ai demandé des nouvelles! et puis j'ai essayé d'enseigner cette stratégie à quelqu'un!
est-ce parce que j'ai assisté mon premier cours d'enseignement du français hier?
