    il faut suivre: we must follow

    il fallait suivre: we had to follow

    I know this, but its a phrase I think used when someone is lost in a conversation and the other person says it to them. Just want to know if we have an english equivalent of it.

    Ah I get you now. Simply put it's essentially : "you should have been paying attention"
