4 ranger la chambre sortir la poubelle tondre le gazon (la pelouse) arroser les plantes balayer faire la cuisine nettoyer faire la lessive - vider le lave-vaisselle faire le lit - Verbe + infinitif: - In French, when the verbs aimer (to like/love), adorer (to love/adore), and détester (to dislike/hate) are followed by another verb, the second verb is in the infinitive form. Examples: Il aime rigoler. He likes to laugh. J adore écouter la radio. I love to listen to the radio. On déteste travailler. People hate to work. - In negative sentences, the ne pas goes around the first verb! Example: Vous n aimez pas travailer? You don t like to work? Opinions : Comment tu trouves ça? Comment tu trouves? To express a favorable opinion: C est - facile génial super To express indifference: cool intéressant passionnant C est pas mal. Ça va. To express an unfavorable opinion: C est - 4

5 difficile pas terrible- pas super zéro nul barbant Les verbes réguliers en ER au présent : - a word that expresses an action or state of being is a verb - quitter (to leave), habiter (to live in), arriver (to arrive), passer (to spend time), parler (to talk), écouter (to listen), étudier (to study), détester (to dislike), poser (to ask), jouer (to play), rigoler (to laugh), déjeuner (to have lunch), regarder (to watch/to look at), demander (to ask), travailler (to work), aimer (to like/love), and rentrer (to come back) are all regular ER verbs because they follow a similar pattern of conjugation - They are called ER verbs because their infinitive forms end in er. - Like with the verb, être, French verbs change with each subject - To conjugate a regular ER verb: 1. Find the stem: To find the stem of an ER verb, drop the er ending Example: parler drop er parl- (stem) 2. Add the ending: There is a different ending for each subject Je -e Nous -ons Tu -es Vous -ez Il /Elle -e Ils /Elles -ent Note : The endings for je, tu, il /elle, and ils /elles are spelled differently ; however, they are all pronounced the same Therefore, if I want the tu form of parler, I drop the er, so my stem is parl- and then I add the corresponding ending, which is es, so the form is tu parles The entire conjugation would look like: Je parle Nous parlons Tu parles Vous parlez Il/Elle/on parle Ils /Elles parlent 5

6 If you want to say what someone does not do: Use the negative ne pas - Ne will come before the verb, pas will come after the verb. Example: Je n étudie pas. I don t study. Attention: - There is an elision when je or ne is followed by a verb that begins with a vowel or silent h Examples: J habite à Paris. Je n habite pas à Lyon. J aime les maths. Je n aime pas les sciences. - There is a liaison with all plural subjects and a verb that begins with a vowel of silent h (the s on the pronoun is pronounced as a z) Examples: nous étudions vous aimez ils habitent Conjugation of nettoyer : In French there are certain verbs that have spelling changes in the present tense. If the verb ends in yer then it undergoes a spelling change for the mute endings in other words - in the boot (je, tu, il/elle/on, and ils/elles) forms. The spelling change that occurs is the y changes to an i y i Je Tu Il/elle/on Nous Vous Ils/elles The pronoun on: - You will see the subject pronoun on used a great deal - On has several different meanings,, or. - When you use on it always conjugates like il / elle Example: On parle français. People speak French. 6

7 - In spoken French, on is used more than nous To make a suggestion: On fait du patin à glace? - On joue au foot? - To turn down a suggestion: Désole(e), mais je ne peux pas. Ça ne me dit rien. Non, c est barbant! To accept a suggestion: D accord. Bonne idée. Oui, c est genial! Allons-y! La négation (Making a sentence negative): - To make a sentence negative in French, you use ne pas. - The ne pas is going to go around the verb you are making negative. (so the ne will come before the verb and the pas will come after the verb) Example: Je suis américaine. Je ne suis pas américaine. (negative sentence) I am American. I am not American. - Note: Ne changes to n before a vowel. Example: Il est sociable. Il n est pas sociable. He is social. He is not social. 7

9 Les articles indéfinis (Indefinite articles) - The indefinite articles are: o un = used before masculine nouns o une = used before feminine nouns - The indefinite articles mean a or an in English - Note: the n of the indefinite article is pronounced (forms a liaison) when it comes before a noun that begins with a vowel Les articles defines (Definite articles) - The definite articles are: o le = used before masculine nouns o la = used before feminine nouns - The definite articles mean the in English Note: le and la are shortened to l when they come before a noun that begins with a vowel.
