Verbs Tense

Question

Hello, I am studying a Degree in English and this semester we are doing Verbs. I am getting ready for the exams and, to train, I did some French to English translations but I would like to know if they are correct: would somebody mind to have a look? Thank you

Téléphone-moi quand tu auras trouvé son adresse > Call me when you find his adress.

Je pensais que tu serais vexé mais tu es bien aimable aujourd'hui!> I thought that you would have been offended, but you look just fine to me today!

Combien de pages as-tu lu? J'espère que tu finiras ce livre ce soir car j'ai hâte de le lire > How many pages have you read? I hope you will finish it by tonight because I cannot wait to read it.

Fine as shown. Also when you've got his address or when you get his address.

Hmm. I think I'd say

I thought you'd be upset, but you seem all right today.

In any case "you look just fine" refers to physical appearance, and I doubt that is the intended meaning in French.

AnonymousCombien de pages as-tu lu? J'espère que tu finiras ce livre ce soir car j'ai hâte de le lire > How many pages have you read? I hope you (will) finish it (by) tonight because I cannot wait to read it.

Fine, but note that fluent English uses contractions liberally, as in I hope you('ll) finish and I can't wait. I would omit 'will' and 'by' as shown above.

Note that this isn't a translation site. I answered only because I know some French.
