I hate grammar tests. It seems pointless to me to test me on little rules of grammar that are either never used or easily overlooked in spoken French.
But the Sorbonne likes them apparently and today was my first.
I finished it in a little under 10 minutes and then came the part I hate: the doubt. I began to question whether that verb in the imparfait should really be in the plus-que-parfait or whether that subjonctif was really necessary. After a few minutes every single relative pronoun I had used looked wrong to me - one of which I found out after the test was most definitely wrong.
I can't be expected to know all these rules and I can't really think of a reason where I will ever need to say some of the things covered on the test. I suppose part of all my doubt is because I have no real idea of where I stand in this course and I feel that I'm going to class every day without a center or direction.
