Adjectives-Lesadjectifs

Adjectives - Les adjectifs

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

Learn french online 

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.

Vous vs. tu
It is important to know when to use "vous" and when to use "tu" in French. "Vous" is a plural form of "you". This is somewhat equivalent to "y'all", "youse", "you guys", "all of you", except that it is much more formal than all but the latter example.
"Vous" is also used to refer to single individuals to show respect, to be polite or to be neutral. It is used
in occasions when talking to someone who is important, someone who is older than you are, or
someone you are unfamiliar with. Note the conversation between M. Bernard and M. Lambert

above asan example of this use.

Conversely, "tu" is the singular and informal form of "vous" (you) in French. It is commonly used
when referring to a friend and a family member, and also used between children or when addressing a
child. If it is used when speaking to a stranger, it signals disrespect.
As a rule of thumb, use "tu" only when you would call that person by his first name, otherwise use
"vous". French people will make it known when they would like you to refer to them by "tu".

Aspirated vs non-aspirated

Learn French online :

Aspirated vs. non-aspirated h Learn French online 

In French, the letter h can be aspirated, (h aspiré), or not aspirated, (h non aspiré), depending on which

language the word was borrowed from. What do these terms mean?

• Ex.: the word héros, (hero) has an aspirated h, because when the definite article le is placed
before it, the result is le héros, and both words must be pronounced separately. However, the
feminine form of héros, héroïne is a non-aspirated h. Therefore, when you put the definite
artcle in front of it, it becomes l'héroïne, and is pronounced as one word. 

The only way to tell if the h at the beginning of a word is aspirated is to look it up in the dictionary.

Some dictionaries will place an asterisk (*) in front of the entry word in the French-English H section if

the h is aspirated. Other dictionaries will include it in the pronunciation guide after the key word by

placing a (') before the pronunciation. In short, the words must be memorized.

Here is a table of some basic h words that are aspirated and not aspirated:

Learn French online 2013

aspirated	héros, hero (le héros)
non-aspirated	héroïne, heroine (l'héroïne)

aspirated	haïr, to hate (je hais or j'haïs...)
non-aspirated	habiter, to live (j'habite...)

aspirated	huit, eight (le huit novembre)
non-aspirated	harmonie, harmony (l'harmonie)

Advice on learn French

Advice on learn French

hi all first we talk About learn French
French is a Romance language, descended from Latin and closely related to Portuguese, Spanish,
Italian, and Romanian. It is the native tongue of over 77 million people and has an additional 68 million
non-native speakers. In medieval times and until the 19th century, it was often the language used in
diplomacy, culture, administration, royal courts across Europe and also in trade, thus appropriately
becoming the lingua franca of its time.
In modern terms, it is still significantly used as a diplomatic language, being an official language of the
United Nations, the Olympic Games, and the European Union. It is spoken in France, Belgium,
Switzerland, Luxemburg, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, Haiti, the Ivory Coast, Madagascar, the Congo,
Algeria, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Gabon, the Seychelles, Burundi, Chad, Rwanda, Djibouti,
Cameroon, Mauritius, and Canada (mostly in the province of Québec, where it is the primary language,
but it is also used in other parts of the country - notably New Brunswick, which is the only bilingual
province. All consumer product packages in Canada are required by law to have both English and
French labels).
French-speaking people have made incursions upon the British Isles many times in the past, most
noticeably in the Norman Invasion of 1066. For this reason, although English is a Germanic language,
at least a third of the English lexicon is derived from French

Advice on learn French

 French tends to have a bad reputation amongst English speakers as hard to learn. While it is true that it poses certain difficulties to native English-speakers, it may be noted that English is also considered to be 'difficult', and yet we learnt it without the benefit of already knowing a language. Learning any new language requires some commitment, generally long-term. Remember that, like any skill, it requires a certain amount of effort. And if you do not practice your French regularly, it is highly likely that you will begin to forget it. Try to make it a part of your schedule; even if it's not daily, at least make it regular. Remember that you are learning a new skill. Try to master the simple stuff before moving on to the more complex. We all have to add and subtract before we can do calculus. French is a complete language. While this course can teach you to read and write in French, this is only half of the skills that make up fluency. A written document cannot teach much about listening to and speaking French. You must train all of these skills, and they will reinforce one another. For listening and speaking, finding a native speaker to help you once you have some skill will help you with these skills.

The very best way to learn French is to get amnesia in France or another French-speaking country. This
allows you to start with a clean slate, as babies do. However, most of us are unwilling to take that step.
The next best thing is immersion. If you are serious about learning French, a period of immersion
(where you go to live in a Francophone culture) is a good idea once you are moderately studied. Most
countries are in the relative vicinity of a French-speaking country.
How i can Travel to french speacking country? If you can't travel to a French-speaking country, then try listening to French-language programs on the
radio, TV, or the Internet. Rent or buy French-language movies. Pay attention to pronunciation. Grab a
French speaker you meet and talk to him or her in French. Listen, speak, and practice.
Read French newspapers and magazines. Again, an excellent source is Google's news page, which links
to French-language news stories, which will enrich your vocabulary.
