IRREGULARS: AVOIR ETRE FAIRE eu t fait etc I dont remember the rest. incredible
IMPARFAIT
Used for: Weather Habitual Actions Time Physical Appearance Feelings/Emotions When 1 action interrupts another action o ex. She was sleeping when the phone rang (IMP to PC) Elle se couchait quand le tlphone sonn ***IN THE PAST ISH*** HOW TO DO THE IMP THING!! using the example NOUS PARLONS 1. Take nous form of the verb: Nous parlons 2. Cross out nous and ons: Nous parlons 3. Add suffixes to the verb prefix: Je -ais Je parlais Tu -ais Tu parlais Il/Elle -ait Il/Elle parlait Nous -ions Nous parlions Vous -iez Vous parliez Ils/Elles -aient Ils/Elles parlaient They all translate to x spoke. Imparfait is the worst since there are so many things to remember for it
FRIENDLY TIP When a verb ends in ger (lets take manger for example) Je -ais Je mangeais Tu -ais Tu mangeais Il/Elle -ait Il/Elle mangeait Nous -ions Nous mangions Vous -iez Vous mangiez Ils/Elles -aient Ils/Elles mangeaient I dont know why but for the nous and vous forms of a ger verb they remove the e in mange-. Please speak to Obama about this it is a serious crisis AND, dont get freaked out with etudier being ils/elles etudiaient or nous etudiions cause thats right so many vowels We also have IRREGULARS! avais avais avait avions aviez avaient etais etais etait etions etiez etaient
AVOIR
ETRE
Find out the rest thanks ALSO look out for these key words, as they will represent IMP as a continuous action: Toujours (always) Chaque (every) Tous/Tout (all/every) DHabitude (regularly) Souvent (often) Etc.
FUTURE SIMPLE
Theres not really anything its used for besides saying that you will do something in the future. ex: I will study for the French exam - > Jetudierai pour mon examen dFrancais
LETS DO THE FUTURE THING!! This time well use vendre 1. Keep the verb in the infinitive (remove e if its an re verb): vendre 2. Add suffixes to the infinitive: Je Tu Il/Elle Nous Vous Ils/Elles -ai -as -a -ons -ez -ont Je vendrai Tu vendras Il/Elle vendra Nous vendrons Vous vendrez Ils/Elles vendront
FUTURE SIMPLE uses SAFEPADVVV! Since youve forgotten them (I know you have) here you go pal. Theyre pretty much the irregulars Infinitive Savoir Avoir Faire Etre Pouvoir Aller Devoir Vouloir Venir Voir Future Simple SaurAurFerSerPourrIrDevrVoudrViendrVerr-
Similar verbs to these irregulars will use the, eh, how do you say, same form? Like venir -> viendr- will be the same for revenir and devenir: reviendr-, deviendr-. Voir -> verr- will be the same for apercevoir and recevoir: aperceverr-, receverr-. u get it
DONT FORGET, CONDITIONNEL uses SAFEPADVVV TOO (LIKE IMPARFAIT)! AMAZING You may notice that COND uses the same endings as IMP. That is correct. But if you are scared and confused just remember M. Marins nose, very French
SUBJONCTIF
Used for: A necessity (IT IS NECESSARY THAT) A wish (I WISH) Its a present tense. Apparently theres no future subjunctive but theres a past but I dont really know Well talk about that necessary thing in a sec
SUBJUNCTIVE! and the example ILS CHOISIR 1. Take Ils/Elles form of the verb: Ils choisissent 2. Cross out ils and ent: Ils choisissent 3. Add suffixes to the verb prefix: Je Tu Il/Elle Nous Vous Ils/Elles -e -es -e -ions -iez -ent Je choisisse Tu choisisses Il/Elle choisisse Nous choisissions Vous choisissiez Ils/Elles choisissent
IL FAUT QUE means IT IS NECESSARY THAT and SUBJUNCTIVE is the verb you need ex. It is necessary that you study for French. Il faut que tu tudies pour franais. ALSO there is I WISH or I WOULD LIKE ex. I would like you to study for French Je voudrais que tu tudies pour franais Theres not much to it, just look out for the que.
SI CLAUSES
Si clauses is used in an IF situation. If x, then y. (Oh no there are coefficients involved but math is on Friday I know Im crying too) There are two cases in which SI CLAUSES are used, and they are 1. PRESENT -> FUTURE If I have the time, I will finish my homework. Si Jai le temps, je finirai mes devoirs. 2. IMPERFECT -> CONDITIONAL If I had the time, I would finish my homework. Si javais le temps, je finirais mes devoirs.
What you are looking for is the SI part, because that indicates the IF part of the sentence. Youre gonna have to read the sentence first before jumping into translation. Since Present goes to Future, SI will always be associated to PRESENT and the other part should be FUTURE. Same for the other; SI will always be associated to IMPERFECT and the other part should be CONDITIONAL. The sentence can be messed up so look for this: Je acheterais un hamburger si javais dargent. (I would buy a hamburger IF I had money) Conditional comes before SI, and Imperfect after SI. gross. okay moving on
PRESENT PARTICIPLE
You thought it was almost over hahah This present thing isnt the same as regular present, its used with: EN (by/while) POUR (in order to) AVANT (before)
DIY PRESENT PARTICIPLE :) avec travailler 1. Take nous form of the verb: Nous travaillons 2. Cross out nous and ons: Nous travaillons 3. Add suffix -ant to the verb prefix: (en) travaillant ex. I earn money by working at Starbucks. Je gagne largent en travaillant Starbucks. ex. In order to earn money, I work at Starbucks. Pour gagnant largent, Je travaille Starbucks. Thats all for the present participle. ant. nice.
ex. Here are two dresses. Which one do you prefer? Voil deux robes. Laquelles prfres-tu? Look out for the feminine and masculine words and see if they are plural Sometimes its tricky like LES CHAUSSURES but it is a feminine word. So you would use lesquelles if you were referring to les chaussures as it refers to shoes (PLURAL) and the word is fem.
CELUI/CELLE/CEUX/CELLES
These all mean this/ these/ those. Celui This one MASC SING Celle This one FEM SING Ceux Those/These ones MASC PL Celles These /Those ones FEM PL Same thing applies here, keep an eye out for those nouns and whatever else can be masc/fem sing/pl.
ex. I know the girl who he likes. Je connais la fille quil aime. (QUE is condensed in this form but you get it) Sorry that was useless
