Questions & Answers about Nous ferons l'installation nous-mêmes au cas où le technicien annulerait.
Why does mêmes have an 's' and a hyphen in nous-mêmes?
Could nous-mêmes mean "even us" in this context?
Uncertainty usually triggers the subjunctive. Why is annulerait in the conditional?
This is a famous exception that catches out a lot of learners! The phrase au cas où (in case) is always followed by the conditional, never the subjunctive. This is because it introduces a pure hypothesis rather than a subjective feeling of doubt or necessity.
Is it more natural to say ferons l'installation rather than just using the verb installerons?
