French Topic
Hey,
Here comes the French topic ... done for French people, but like I don't think we're a lot, done for everybody wanting to speak (or to try to speak) French. So let's go en Français !! L'Anglais ou tout autre langage sera formellement ... umh autorisé lol, mais pour essayer de parler Français, rien de tel que la pratique. Ne sachant pas quelles phrases basiques je peux mettre pour ceux qui veulent parler en Français, je préfère vous laisser me poser la question, car la superbe langue de Molière est faite de nombreuses exceptions pour chaque règle !! I don't know what French basic sentences I can put here, so I let you asking to myself how to translate something or to explain some "rules". The main difficulty in French is that you can almost always find an exception for a rule ... |

It's pretty good if you really never learned anything in French ... 1) Negative sentences In french, to say, for example "he isn't", we say "il n'est pas". Negative sentence is composed by "ne" (n' if verb starting by a vowel) + "pas". Some examples: Je ne mange pas Je n'ai pas Je ne suis pas Je n'écoute pas 2) C'est It's just the translation of "it is", when you want to describe a thing, you generally have to say "c'est" and not "il est". 3) il sera possible d'apprendre It's a future sentence (it will be posible to learn). Être au présent Je suis Tu es Il/elle est Nous sommes Vous êtes Ils sont Être au futur Je serai Tu seras Il sera Nous serons Vous serez Ils seront |

Excellent stuff. I have some material to study French this week.
Tres bien. What about the verb "etre" in past simple ? And what about the verb "To have" ? In the future, if you don't mind you can post a few common expressions in French on your own, and maybe some football related or daily life related words, to let us increase some vocabulary.

Past simple - Passé simple (nowadays, almost nobody uses it)
Être Je fus Tu fus Il fut Nous fûmes Vous fûtes Ils furent Avoir J'eus Tu eus Il eut Nous eûmes Vous eûtes Ils eurent Most common past time used, looks like English Past Perfect but it is used in France for sentences that are equivalent to both Simple Past and Past Perfect ... Actually, we principally use in France present, past perfect, "imparfait" and future. "Past Perfect" - Passé composé Avoir J'ai eu Tu as eu Il a eu Nous avons eu Vous avez eu Ils ont eu Être J'ai été Tu as été Il a été Nous avons été Vous avez été Ils ont été Le passé composé is actually [auxiliary "avoir" or "être"] + [participe passé] Le participe passé is the french "Verb+ed" used for the Past Perfect. For the auxiliary, it's my own language, so i know when to use "avoir" or "être", i don't know if there is general rule to give for that. I stop there before writing something too confused lol and i go sleeping !! So see you next days for more explanations !! PS: Maybe I should have started by present ? lol because there is actually 3 kinds of verbs with 3 different ways to use them |
