devais (imparfait de l'indicatif)
dus (passé simple)
devras (futur)
devrais (conditionnel)

Or, one could just say <<o la la, la la, la la>> with a little moue, non?

Dear Effen-Elle: as for the subjunctif, as now a real-life aphasic (no joke), I'm lucky to figure out the subjunctive in English. Interestingly, during today's speech therapy "conversation" session (with a fabulous, brilliant therapist, a Columbia U. grad student named Mel), I couldn't remember (or say) "Mona Lisa," but I could say "La Jaconde!" Mel said, "So! You may be aphasic in English, but not in French!"

Dear John, I never knew the word "aphasic" til it happened to you.  All I can say is thank God you were so abundantly blessed with communication skills before your stroke, to serve you now.  I imagine in some ways having had that might make it harder in some ways now, but easier in others. 

But, wow I missed you when you weren't on BetterMost, and I'm SO glad you're back, and sharing your wonderful jmmgallagherness with us again. 

Tu DOIVES savoir combien je t'aime.
