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 ...

What's wrong with it? I'm being quite creative, as i've NEVER studied a single page of French.

Je pense que la langue française n'est pas facile, mais c'est une langue romantique et avec un peu de pratique, il sera possible d'apprendre.

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
