Les articles définis

Bonjour a tous!


Hi everyone


Today we are going to start studying the defined articles in French.
As you know in English we just have an article both for male, female singular or plural nouns:  The.


However in French this is a little bit more complex so we better start studying the singular articles


Singular

Le	Male
La	Female
L’	Male/Female starting with vowel

Now you know when to use an article for male or female nouns.  The only problem is to know when a noun is male or female.  You can use your intuition.  Most of the male/ female nouns in French are also that way in English but it's not only like that:

La femme

(The woman)

But...

La voiture 

(The Car)

Le téléphone

(The telephone)

For the nouns starting with a vowel you just need to use L' no matter if it's a male or female noun:

L'arbre

(The tree)

L'étudiant

(The student)

L'île

(The island)

Plural

To make the plural form of the article you just need to remember a single article

Les	Male/Female

Let's see

Les Femmes

(The women)

Les voitures

(The cars)

Les téléphones

(The telephones)

Les arbres

(The trees)

Les étudiants

(The students)

Les îles

(The islands)

C'est tout.  N'oubliez pratiquer votre français!

Le verbe avoir

Bonjour


Let's keep on studying our French lessons.  Today we are going to practice another very important verb you have to learn when you are studying french: le verbe avoir which can be assimilate with the verb to have.


So first, let's conjugate it:

French	English
J'ai	I have
Tu as	You (sing) have
Il/ Elle a	He/She has
Nous avons	We have
Vous avez	You (pl.) have
Ils/ Elles ont	They have

When you conjugate a verb starting with a vowel you have to contract the subject with the subject Je


Je+ étudie = J'étudie (I study)
Je+ ai = J'ai


You can use the verb avoir in the same way you use the verb to have in English:


J'ai une voiture                          I have a car
Elle a un frère                           She has a brother


The verb avoir is the main auxiliary we use to make sentences in the past participle tense and it works as have in english (with a few exceptions where we have to use être instead):


J'ai mangé        I have eaten
Il a dormi         He has slept

La famille

Bon jour!

Mère (f)	Mother
Frère (m)	Brother
Soeur (f)	Sister
Fils (m)	Sons
Fille (f)	Daughter
Grand-père (m)	Grandfather
Grand-mère (f)	Grandmother
Cousin (m)	Cousin (m)
Cousine (f)	Cousin (f)

Le verbe être

Bonjour


Let's keep on studying our French lessons.  Today we are going to practice one of the first verbs you learn when you are studying french: le verbe être which can be assimilate with the verb to be.


So first, let's conjugate it:

French	English
Je suis	I am
Tu es	You (sing) are
Il/ Elle est	He/She is
Nous Sommes	We are
Vous êtes	You (pl.) are
Ils/ Elles sont	They are

You can use the verb être with adjectives and to describe a quality of the subject as you do in English:


Je suis étudiant                          I am a student
Nous sommes forts                    We are strong


When we study the past you'll know that in French, the verb être is also used as an auxiliary form to indicate the past tense:


Je suis allé        I went
