French Conjugation – Lesson 1

Description

Mastering verb conjugation, you’ll learn how to clearly express who is doing what and when, making your speech more precise and grammatically accurate. You’ll gain a solid grasp of tenses, allowing you to describe actions in the past, present, and future with confidence.

The course includes:

–Être & Avoir Conjugation: The verbs “être” (to be) and “avoir” (to have) are fundamental irregular verbs in French

–Regular ER/IR/RE Verbs in the Present Tense: Regular ER, IR, and RE verbs follow specific patterns in the present tense, making them easier to conjugate once these patterns are learned.

–Recent Past Tense: The recent past tense, formed using “venir de” + infinitive, is used to describe actions that have just occurred.

-The Past tense with “Avoir”:  known as the passé composé, is used to describe completed actions or events that occurred in the past.

–Reflexive Verb: Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject performs an action on itself, commonly used to describe daily routines and personal actions.

–16 House Verbs: The 16 house verbs, conjugated with “être” in the passé composé, describe movement or change of state and are crucial for mastering past tense narration.

–Future Tense: The future tense expresses actions that will occur, formed by adding specific endings to the infinitive form of verbs.

–Near Future Tense: The near future tense, formed with “aller” + infinitive, is used to talk about actions that are going to happen soon.

–Imperfect Tense: The imperfect tense describes ongoing or habitual actions in the past, often used for background descriptions in storytelling.

–French Irregular Verb: Irregular verbs do not follow standard conjugation patterns and must be memorized individually due to their unique forms in various tenses.
