    took a good few bits and bobs out of that, nice one;)
    Edit though, I think that "Mes parents sont touche" should be "Sont touchent" as it's they are affected.

    Actually, brainwave. Though you probably know all this already but... :p
    If you're stuck for something to write, throw yourself in there. How the recession affected you, how you have a friend who is a victim of racism, how you have obesity etc :p

    It's another paragraph!

    No, you're putting two verbs together there. "Sont touchent" doesn't mean anything. Mes parents sont touchés is correct.

    Am I right in thinking that "J'ai les aimeé" means I liked them? The preposition is putting me off.
    @Party any way you could talk me through that two verb rule? Not familiar with it?

    Or if it was past tense, is it not Mes parents sont touchée?
    Or is it Sont ont touchée?
    (confused)

    I think Mes parents ont touchée works best :p

    Not sure what "De debouchees la - bas" means. Google translate is giving me something back about uncorking.

    I was under the impression that beaucoup has to always be with de? Well, in 99% of cases anyway.
    To be safe there I would probably use vraiment.

    Beaucoup de debouchés la-bas means "there are lots of job opportunities there".

    Pronouns always go with the auxiliary verb of a compound tense. That ought to be Je les ai aimé.

    I'm not sure what you mean by the two verb rule?

    How that changes the sentence?

    Sorry for asking so many questions. As you can see I'm having a heart attack at the moment :p
