Käännös - Elle retracait... (Ranska)

But the verbs differ indeed.

I suggested that he see a doctor.
God bless you!

The two above: "see" and "bless" really seem like some flawed forms of infinitive.

But in the sentence "I wish I were..." one could see only personal form of "to be" in the past simple tense.

Sorry for coming into this discussion so LATE!

Here's my two cents' worth:

She reflected on (this verb can also mean that she "described" aloud, for the benefit of other people) her devotion, of which she had given ample proof (lit: "shining proofs" ), well before her relationship with the prince had been sanctified by marriage.

Just to clarify, she is now married to the prince, and is reflecting on (or describing) her devotion (to him, one could assume), and her previous actions which expressed that devotion.

Thanks Ian! And thanks to everybody who participated. Aneta, you may translate this text now if you want to, I'm afraid, as the requester didn't reply, she just used the first translation done from this text, that was rejected because the translation was faulty.

Thank you Francky! Thank you all for your great job!
I have just translated the sentence, even if the requester is no longer interested.
