1 Comment dit-on "couter une fortune"

2 Quel est la différence entre
"Mon frère qui vit à San diego viendra en France cet été " et
"Mon frère,qui vit à San diego ,viendra en France cet été"
( personnellement je n'en vois aucune mais bon ...on me demande de traduire ces 2 phrase en anglais)
est-ce : my brother who lives in SD will come in France this summer ? avec des virgules pour la 2eme phrase

déja ce serait "will come to France"
je pense que la différence c'est que dans le premier cas, tu as deux frères, et c'est celui qui vit à SD qui viendra, et dans le deuxième cas, la phrase dit juste que ton frère, qui en passant vit à SD, viendra cet été.
donc peut-être que tu peux dire
My brother from SD will come etc. pour la première
My brother, who lives in SD, will come etc. pour la deuxième
