Leçon : Voyager - Lesson : Travelling

Just like articles, French adjectives also have to match the nouns that they modify in gender and plurality.

Regular Formation

Most adjective changes occur in the following manner:

• Feminine: add an -e to the masculine form
• un garçon intéressant --> une fille intéressante
• un ami amusant --> une amie amusante
• un camion lent --> une voiture lente
• Plural: add an -s to the masculine form
• un garçon intéressant --> des garçons intéressants
• une fille intéressante --> des filles intéressantes

Pronunciation

Generally, the final consonant is pronounced only when it comes before an -e. Most adjectives, such as
those above, are affected by this rule.

• Masculine Pronuciation: intéressan, amusan, len
• Feminine Pronunciation: intéressant, amusant, lent

Grammar Negative

Grammar Negative

In order to say that one did not do something, the ne ... pas construction must be used. The ne is placed
before the verb, while the pas is placed after.

Examples:

Il est avocat.   ///   He is [a] lawyer.
Il n'est pas avocat.  //   He is not [a] lawyer.
Nous faisons nos devoirs.  //   We are doing our homework.
Nous ne faisons pas nos devoirs.  //   We are not doing our homework.
Je joue du piano.   //  I play the piano.
Je ne joue pas du piano.  //   I do not play the piano.
Vous vendez votre voiture.  //   You sell your car.
Vous ne vendez pas votrevoiture.  //  You do not sell your car.*

When negating with the indefinite article (un, une), the indefinite article changes to de.

Examples:

Il est belge.  //   He is Belgian.
Il n'est pas belge.  //   He is not Belgian.
Nous lisons un livre.  //   We read a book.
Nous ne lisons pas de livre.  //   We do not read a book.
Je mange une cerise.  //   I eat a cherry.
Je ne mange pas de cerise.  //   I do not eat a cherry.

When negating in the passé composé, the ne ... pas (in this case, n'... pas) are placed around the auxillary avoir.

Grammar Subject pronouns

Grammar Subject pronouns : Learn French online 2013

French has six different types of pronouns: the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person singular and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person plural.

1st person 
singular : je  //   I
plural :  nous   //  we
2nd person
singular : tu  //  you
plural : vous  //  you

3rd person

singular : il, elle,on  //  he, she, one

plural  : ils,elles  //  they (masculine), they (feminine)

Learn French online 2013

When referring to more than one person in the 2nd person, “vous” must be used. When referring to a
single person, “vous” or “tu” may be used depending on the situation; see notes in lesson 1.
In addition to the nuances between vous and tu, as discussed in lesson 1, French pronouns carry
meanings that do not exist in English pronouns. The French third person "on" has several meanings, but most closely matches the now archaic English "one". While in English, "One must be very careful in French grammar" sounds old-fashioned, the French equivalent "On doit faire beaucoup attention à la grammaire française" is quite acceptable. Also, while the third person plural "they" has no gender in English, the French equivalents "ils" and "elles" do. However, when pronounced, they normally sound the same as "il" and "elle", so distinguishing the difference requires understanding of the various conjugations of the verbs following the pronoun. Also, if a group of people consists of both males and females, the male form is used, even if there is only one male in a group of thousands of females .In everyday language, “on” is used, instead of “nous”, to express “we”; the verb is always used in the 3rd person singular. For example, to say "We (are) meeting at 7 o'clock", you could say either “On se rencontre au cinéma à sept heures.” (colloquial) or “Nous nous rencontrons au cinéma à sept heures.”(formal).

The French alphabet

Learn French online 2013

The French alphabet 

The French alphabet  is: 
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z .
An approximate pronounciation is:
ah bay say day euh eff jhay ash ee zhee kah el em enn oh pay ku
air ess tay ue vay dubl-vay eeks ee-grehk zedh .

In addition, French uses several accents which are worth understanding. These are:
à, è, ù, (grave accents) and é (acute accent) which only applies to e. A circumflex applies to all vowels as well: â, ê, î,ô, û. And also a tréma (French for diaerasis) for vowels: ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ and combined letters: æ and œ .

Describing yourself : Learn French Language Online 

Now that you have successfully said hello and how are you to your partner, it would be a good idea to
tell them a little about yourself. When stating your nationality or job, it is not necessary to say that you
are 'un(e)' whatever-it-is, only that, for example, "Je suis Australienne". This is an exception to the normal rule.
Please use the The Nations of the World Appendix to find out what your country is called in French, and its gender.
Please note that there is both a masculine and feminine form of saying your nationality - for males and
females respectively.
To say where you live now, you use the verb habiter - "to live (somewhere)" and you form it using the
first person "Je" form (I/me) present tense - "Je habite" - which truncates to "J'habite". You then
choose the right gender for the word "in", en, or aux.
