a la Francais!

The French language,

Oh la la…

C’est tres embrouiller!

I don’t even know if that sentence is grammatically correct! Beurgh!

In the French language, there are many forms of tenses.

1. present tense
2. imparfait (imperfect)
2. passé simple
3. future simple (future)
4. passé compose (past tense)
5. plus que parfait

then there’s the issue about subjunctives, what the hell are they used for in the English language it self je ne comprends pas…
so in the subjonctif section, there is present, imparfait, passé and plus que parfait.

Present tense à

This is the first thing you learn when you’re introduced to the French Language.

Oh and another thing, verbs are conjugated based on the individual,

Whether it’s you, me, him/her/them/us…

Je: Me/I
Tu: You
Il/elle/on: Him/Her/It
Nous: We
Vous: You (formal)
Ils/Elles: They

Oh, in addition to making life slightly bit more difficile, they, have different types of verbs!

First there are the regular –er verbs, -ir verbs, -re verbs, then there are the irregular verbs.

The irregular verbs are conjugated differently from the regular verbs.

Now,
Lets take a look at some of the verbs, and their conjugations in present tense.

-er verbs

Some common regular-er verbs would include parler, aimer, regarder, ecouter etc.

(Please excuse the lack of accents, I’m not too familiar with how to insert them at the moment.)

Anyways,

So in the case of regular –er verbs, they would be conjugated accordingly:


Je: e
Tu:: es
Il/elle/on: e
Nous:ons
Vous: ez
Ils/Elles:ent


In other words…
Parler: To Speak
Je Parle
Tu Parles
Il/elle/on Parle
Nous parlons
Vous parlez
Ils/Elles parlent

Aimer: To Like/To Love
Je Aime
Tu aimes
Il/elle/on Aime
Nous aimons
Vous aimez
Ils/Elles aiment

Similarly for:
- regarder: To watch
- ecouter: to hear
- jouer: to play



Then we have the –re verbs…
Sigh
Some common examples of regular –re verbs would include faire.

Je: Is
Tu: Is
Il/elle/on: It
Nous: Ons
Vous: Es
Ils/Elles: ont

So for
Faire: To Do
Je Fais
Tu Fais
Il/elle/on Fait
Nous Faisons
Vous Faites
Ils/Elles font


Okay, so this isn’t your regular –er verbs, will get back to you on this once I’ve cleared it up.

Next moving on to Regular –IR verbs.
These include finir, choisir, obeir, reflechir,remplir, reussir


Je: Is
Tu: Is
Il/elle/on: It
Nous: Ons
Vous: Ez
Ils/Elles: ent


So in the case of
Finir: to finish
Je finis
Tu finis
Il/elle/on finit
Nous finissons
Vous finissez
Ils/Elles finissent

Other verbs include
Choisir: to chose
Obeir:to obey
Reflechir: to think
Remplir: to fill
Reussir : to be successful/ to make a success of

That’s all for now.

I’m kinda getting tired looking at my computer screen.
