About This Class

The whole of the French language can be broken down into several different structures. If you take any sentence from any French book or any utterance, you will see that it fits into one of these structures.

I remember one weekend, I was writing some lessons for the week ahead, when I suddenly realised this. I noticed that there are a certain number of structures in French, and that every sentence follows one of these structures. I spent the rest of the weekend working out all the structures, and I wrote them all down.

Every structure you learn gives you the ability to say a huge amount. Some structures are used more than others, but all the structures together make up the whole French language. Once you’ve learnt how a structure works, all you have to do is insert different words into the slots and you have a sentence.

This course introduces you to structure 8. I’ve limited each course to one structure so as not to overburden you. By looking at just one structure at a time, you can really get to grips with it and understand its usage. It will help to clarify the French language and make it more like a reflex rather than something you have to think about as is it were a maths equation.

Each structure can also help to propel you to fluency; if you can manipulate the structures at high speed, you can start to say anything you want without having to thing about how to say it.

This course contains plenty of practice opportunities for you to revise what you’ve learnt and it also contains some hints and tips on how best to learn and memorise the structures and the vocabulary that goes with them. You’ll learn how to make questions out of structure 8, how to make statements and how to turn positive statements negative.

The Building Structures in French series is set out using the same learning techniques as the 3 Minute French courses. You can work through the course in three minute chunks, enabling anybody to learn French, no matter how little time you have.

PROGRESS TO THE NEXT COURSE

Once you have finished this course, you can continue onto the next course where you’ll learn all about structure 9 in French. Here are the links for all the Building Structures courses currently available on SkillShare:

Building Structures in French – Structure 1

Building Structures in French – Structure 2

Building Structures in French – Structure 3

Building Structures in French – Structure 4

 

I have a second series of courses available called “3 Minute French”. This series builds the French language in small chunks and shows you how to put the chunks together to form your own sentences. With the 3 Minute courses, you’ll be speaking lots French from the very start. Here are the links to the 3 Minute French courses on SkillShare:

3 Minute French – Course 1

3 Minute French – Course 2

3 Minute French – Course 3

3 Minute French – Course 4

3 Minute French – Course 5

3 Minute French – Course 6

3 Minute French – Course 7

 

Finally, if you want to explore the French language even further, I have some French grammar courses available. I’ve used the same method in these courses as I have in the other courses, so hopefully you’ll find them fun and interesting

1. Introduction to the course: Module AND Avenue. Hello and welcome to building structures in French, structure eight. I'm Karen and I'm a language tutor based in the UK. And I wrote this series of courses to help you learn to speak French. The whole of the French language is made up of a number of structures. And I remember one weekend I was writing some lessons for the week ahead. And I suddenly realized this. I noticed that there are a certain number of structures in French, and that every single sentence follows one of these structures. I spent the rest of the weekend working out all of the structures and I wrote them all down. Once you know what all the structures are, you can begin to learn them. And every structure you learn, it gives you the ability to say a huge amount in French, certain structures are used more than others. But all the structures together make up the entire French language. Once you've learned to structure, or you have to do is insert different words into the slots and you have a sentence. Learning these structures can help to propel you to fluency. Because if you can manipulate the structures at high-speed, it means you can say anything you want without having to think about how to say it. In this course, we're going to learn all about structure eight. If you've already learned structures wanted to seven, using the building structures in French series, then you will recognize the method used in this course to remember to limit your study time to trunks of just 3 min. Because if you keep your study sessions short, three amazing things will happen. Firstly, you'll maintain enthusiasm. Secondly, you'll be more consistent in your studying and consistency is the key to success. And thirdly, you will find that you remember things much more easily. So let's begin and land structure eight in French. 2. 1a - structure 8 outline: The eighth structure in French is the simplest of all the structures, but it is used a lot. It consists of just one single verb, and it's in the imperative. You can't make a question out of it, but you can use it to tell people what to do. Like the other structures. You can add as many extra information words as you'd like to this structure to embellish it. Here's an example of it in use. That day. Path D. It means leave. It's just made up of one word in the imperative. I've already said that you can't use this structure as a question. So there's no need for us to go over any question words for this course. But what is the imperative? Well, the imperative is basically a command. It's used when you're telling somebody what to do. Here are some examples of imperative phrases in English. Come on. Let's go. Come here. Go away. Listen to me. Do your homework. You don't have to use exclamation marks with the imperative. I just felt like adding them for the effect. But the imperative is very easy to perform in French. We have to do is take the form of any verb in the present tense. That's the tenants we learned in structure to then remove the word from the front. E.g. with whom all j means you eat. If you take them away, you're left with more j. Which means eat. That on day, means you wait. Atone Day means weight. Wu path D means you leave. That day, means leave. So when you want to form the imperative, you just take the present tense of any verb and takeoff the rule. So how would you say in French, leave path, the path they go? Ali, Ali, eat more, more j plu, Mozi, plu. Wait for Pierre. Upon the Pierre. Pierre. Pay the bill. Ba ba Ledi soon. 3. 1b - forming the imperative: How would you say in French by something? I should take a good shows. Ash take echo shows by something or leave. As take echo shows who birthday. As taken aback, they speak in English. Ballet. Ballet are normally. We've just learned how to form the imperative if you're talking to somebody using the Wu form of the verb. But what about if you want to use the two form of the verb? What if you want to order around your friends? Well, let's have a look. To form the imperative. For two. You take the two form of any verb in the present tense, and then you just take the two of the front. E.g. 2-bar. 2-bar means you leave. Means leave to atom. To atom means you wait at dawn. At Don means wait to equity to actually means you write equity. Equity means, right. That's just one little thing to remember. If you have an ER verb, you have to remove the S from the end of the verb, as well as removing the two. E.g. 2, mol to moles means you eat. More. Moms means eat. So we've taken the two away as normal, but we've also removed the S from the end. To show want to shunt means using shunt. Shunt means sing us **** to as **** is you buy a ****. **** means by using the informal way of saying you, how would you say in French, leave? Go, eat more moist blue. Blue. So with the two form of the verb, or you have to do is remove the two from the present tense. But if you have an ER verb, you also have to take the S off the end of the verb as well. 4. 1c - "Let's": Using the informal way of saying you, how would you say in French, wait for Pierre. I don't yeah. I don't pay the bill. They let you buy something. I shed skin color shows as shed killed by something or leave. I shed Good, good shows. Uber. Uber speaking English on only bowel or normally. We've seen how to form the imperative for both versions of you. In French. There is just one more form of the imperative. Whenever you say in English, Let's, That's actually a form of the imperative. Because you're giving an order to yourself and whomever it is your width. In French, you form this by using the new form of the verb in the present tense and just removing the null. E.g. no margin. No margin means we eat. If you take the new away, you're left with module. Module, which means let's eat. Don't think that there's a word for lips. In this instance in French, you simply use the verb eat in the new form of the present tense. So margin means, let's eat news add-on. Don't know that on down means we wait. Autonomy. Autonomy means, let's wait. No bath bomb. New pattern means we leave backbone. Backbone means, let's leave. 5. 1d - practise with "let's": How would you say in French? Let's leave. Back down. Back down. Let's go alone. Alone. Let's see more. Module. Module. Let's wait for Pierre. Add-on. Don't Pierre? Pierre. Let's pay the bill. Pay on Madison. Beyond lady soon. Let's buy something. Ash. Don't get good shows. Ash don't get good shoes. Let's buy something or let's leave. Ashton. Ashton get glycerol backbone. Let's speak in English. Parallel are normally pylons on, on blades. 6. 2 - "être" and "avoir" in the imperfect: With the imperative, you can either use the full form, the tooth form, or the new form, and that's it. But of course, there are a couple of irregular verbs. It wouldn't be friends if there weren't any irregular verbs at all. The good thing is that there are actually only two irregular verbs in the imperative. The first is eta, which means to be. In the imperative, you say swap. Swap, which means B. If you're using two, the two form of you, swipe. Swipe. Swanky means B. If you're using the form of you, swipe. Swipe. Swipe down means, let's be swatch. Swipe, swipe on. The second irregular verb is which means to have. So we have a, a, which means have. If you're talking to, to AAA, AAA means have if you're talking to somebody using Wu. And a yawn means, let's have a AAA. So how would you say in French, be here tomorrow? Sweat. The sweat you see demand or swaggy. You see the man. You see the man. Be good. Swab and swab bone or swipe, swipe table. Let's be serious. Swatch on Saturday you sway on Saturday you let's have a coffee. Young and coffee. Aliens like coffee. 7. 3a - the negative imperative: Turning it all negative. In English, the negative imperative is formed by sticking the word don't in front of the uniforms, or by using, let's not in front of the wave forms. E.g. torque becomes don't talk, be early. Don't be early. Forget it. Don't forget it. So you put in front of the uniforms or if you have lets, you change it to Let's not e.g. let's go. Let's not go. Let's be early. Let's not be late. Let's open the door. Let's not open the door. In French, the negative imperative is easy to form. We have to do is put the word no in front of the verb and the word par after the verb. And that's it. No matter whether you use that to form the Vodafone or the new form. You just put in front of the verb and Pat after it. E.g. Zhe. Zhi means eat pneumonia cheaper. Mnemonic Jaipur. Don't eat. Atom. Atom means weight. Not on par. Not on par. Don't wait. Pattern. Pattern means, let's leave. No baton pass. New backbone. Let's not leave. How would you say in French, don't leave. Nip nip baba or nephropathy. Neuropathy, but don't go. Nevada. Nevada or not Lipa, Nipah. Don't say goodbye. Did you knew the Passover voir or new leads off of wire? Needed Passover. Don't wait for Pierre. Pierre. Not on Poppaea or not on the PPF? Not on the top here. 8. 3b - practise with negatives: How would you say in French, don't pay the bill. Newspaper, ladies soon. They eat pallidus theorem. Don't buy a car. You in wet, you stayed back in wet. You don't speak in English. New battle back and only new ballet, but unknowingly, let's not leave NOPAT Tampa, new Pakhtunkhwa. Let's not go. Nylon. Nylon bar. Let's not say hello. Noodles on pebbles. Knew these on Babylon rule. Let's not wait for Pierre. Not on one path here. Not on don't pack. Yeah. Let's not pay the bill. Newbury on ladies soon. New Pay on pallidus tian. Let's not buy a car. National Park in wet. You don't pass you invite to you. Let's not speak in English. New balloon panel, non-gray, New Babylon, but normally don't call Pierre. Not buried back. Yeah. Not blade back here. Don't leave. Please. Note back Bastille to play. Back the Bastille Bu play. Don't hire a car, it's too expensive. New loop bathroom wet. You say torture. Louis bassoon, right? You say Torture. Don't go to France without me. In Nevada on point somewhere. Now the pattern formed somewhere. 9. 4a - veuillez: I've said that there were just too irregular verbs in the imperative, but that wasn't strictly true. There is a third, and it's actually a very useful one. The verb, which means to want in the imperative is VJ. Vj. And you only ever see it used in the roof form since it is used as a way of expressing an extremely polite request. It's sort of like a very polite way of saying please, when you're asking somebody to do something, you use simply by putting an infinitive after it. You often see it written on signs that are asking you to do something. E.g. VJ. Vj at Andres si means Please wait here. You're telling somebody to wait here, but it's a very polite way. In speaking. You'll hear either AC or VAs that don't receive. The Z on the end of VGA can liaise with the vowel on the next verb. Another example is the upper lip or confirm me. The upper lip or confirm me. Please call to confirm. Via a bassoon, take a bus ticket. Means please hold on for a few minutes. The verb best John D means hold on or literally be patient. So please be patient for a few minutes or please hold on for a few minutes. Very convenient. If you want to make a negative request using it is a little bit different. What you do is put in front of the infinitive that comes after e.g. the Nipah MSC, the yay emoji, ISI, please don't eat here. So the Nipah comes directly in front of the infinitive that comes after VJ. Another example of neuropathic like Kayla. Nope, backlog K, leper. Please don't slam the door. So the verb means to slam, bang something like gala. Please don't slam the door, or please don't bang the door. So you say, plus an infinitive to make it a very polite request in French. And if you want to make it negative, you say v a new bar, and then the infinitive. 10. 4b - veuillez in the negative: How would you say in French, Please don't eat here. The EC regained the bamboo JC. Please wait here. I don't see. We use boundary C. Please call if you arrive before 08:00. Apathy laziness or if they have on with the VAs app really see with IV oven with the please don't wait here. Va in the past, I don't really see new positon Tracy. Please order here. Command D E C. D E C. Please ask the Monday. Monday. Please don't speak. Very new but badly. Badly. Please don't use this door. Nobody loses that part. Va, nobody did is they said, but you can use as a way of giving very polite requests. You simply put an infinitive after. And you can make it negative by saying very yea. And then an infinitive. And that would mean, please don't do whatever you asking them not to do. 11. 5a - "it" and other pronouns: Eight and other object pronouns. I'll not go into details about the ins and outs of what object pronouns are in this course. But I need to do a chapter mentioning them. Because when you use the imperative, it can be tricky, working out where they go. The object pronouns in French, or which mean me or to me, too, meaning you, or to you. Meaning him. Or eight. Which means her or louis can mean to him or to her. New means OS or tools. Wu means you or to you. Lay means them and means to them. You may or may not know that normally object pronouns come in front of a verb. E.g. your liver. Your liver means I want it UV laser stay because you're Veda is Ashley. I'm going to buy them evolve. New visit day. Yvonne who visit day? He's going to visit us. Well, the exception to the rule about object pronouns going in front of a verb is with the imperative. Firstly, we'll look at the negative imperative. In the negative, French imperatives just use object pronouns in the same way every other verb tense uses them. They go in front of the verb. E.g. new, lash deeper, new Lashkar-e-Taiba, don't buy it. So the loop, meaning it goes in front of the verb Ashley, new lashed, deeper. Numa, Numa, bed bath. Don't call me. The milk goes in front of the verb. Numerator. Don't know. Don't don't give it to me. No more jumper, new LUMO John path. Let's not eat it. New, new, new, new datapath. Don't tell us. So when you have a negative imperative, then you haven't got to worry about anything because the object pronouns go in front of the verb, just like they do in normal tensors. 12. 5b - object pronouns with positive imperatives: The positive imperative. In the positive, French, imperatives changed the way that they use direct object pronouns. In the positive imperative, all object pronouns go after the verb, so they hook onto the end using a little hyphen. E.g. fits Lu. Lu. Do it. Fit means do and look means it. So it comes after the verb and it hooks onto the verb with a hyphen fetlock. Donate, donate a Pierre, give it to Pierre. Appellee, new Apple, a new color later. So the new V ofs goes after the verb appellee and it hooks onto the end with a hyphen module. Module. Let's eat it. And to. Now, an interesting thing happens with the object pronouns, meaning me or to me, and to, meaning you or to you. When they're hooked onto the end of a positive imperative, the object pronouns. And to turn into more and trois. E.g. a11. A11 helped me Don't eat and coffee. Don't anymore and coffee. Give me a coffee. So when the moon goes onto the end of the verb in a positive imperative, it becomes more and more demand. A bit more demand. Call me tomorrow. More time once the Gustave Monterey more superuser way. This is the same when you have reflexive verbs in the imperative to the two becomes TWA and hooks onto the end of the verb. Luftwaffe. Luftwaffe. Get up, literally lift yourself. Luftwaffe, Luftwaffe, have a wash. So the reflexive verb is certainly larvae. And when you're telling somebody to have a wash. You say love, you normally have to do lab e.g. you have a wash. But when you're telling somebody what to do, the two goes onto the end and becomes 12th Luftwaffe. Have a wash because they don't boss trois late on. Brush your teeth. And two, when they hook on the end of a positive imperative, become more and twice in French. 13. 5c - le / la / les: You may or may not know that normally with normal verbs, the object pronoun low, which means it, or him, comes last. What I mean is that if you have more than one object pronoun, e.g. you have a handler, you always put the after them. However, in positive imperatives, the object pronouns, lou, law, and lay, come in front of all of the pronouns. If you use more than one. E.g. Danilo moire, donate loom will give it to me. So you say look first and then what comes after? Give it, donate to me. Why don't even more on Vijay Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie. Send it to him. So that means it. And Louis means to him on y j loop, send it to him on why yellowy of YA lit more of wij more. Send them to me. So the words low or lay, or even law, come in front of any other pronouns. So on Vijay, lay, send them more to me on why yearly more. Donald, Lulu. Lulu. Let's give it to them. So let's give donald it. And then to them, don't own Lulu. So the words learn a lot and lay come in front of any other object pronouns. If you use more than one in a sentence, how would you say in French? Send it to me? While MY or more. Tell me more detail, more. Let's buy it for Pierre. Pierre. Pierre. Give it to them. Don't donate Lula. Give it to him. Don't we? Don't Alien movie. 14. 5d - practise with object pronouns: How would you say in French? Gave it to her? Don't do we don't we don't Louis or donated we can mean give it to her or also give it to him. And that's because we can mean to him or to her in French. How would you say give them to me? Don't anymore. Don't anymore. Let's open it. Won't loop. One loop. Don't send it to me. Numeral of web bar, numeral of why EPA. Don't tell me. Newman Deepa, intermediate path. Let's not buy it for Pierre. New latched on Pap OPM, new lastname PupCo Pierre. Don't give it to them. Nearly all don't normally do nepa. Don't give it to him. Normally, we don't normally we don't AICPA don't give it to her. Now that we don't know Louis donate via don't give them to me. Normally don't normally don't eat bar. So when it's a negative imperative, the normal word order for object pronouns is still true, so it goes late dawn path, it's only in the positive when the words look lat and lay, calm before. How would you say in French, Let's not open it. Newly formed by Lou foam pad. 15. 6a - common imperatives: What I'll do now is give you some of the most commonly used imperatives so that you can learn them as words in their own right. That way when it comes to using them, you don't have to sit down and think about how to form them. So the first verb is done a, which means to give. In the imperative, we get done. Done. Meaning give in the informal version. Donate. Donate means give in the formal or the plural version. And Donald. Donald means, let's give Don donate. Donald. D means to tell or to say. So in the informal we have d. D, which means tail or say, d. D is the formal or the plural of tail or say. Deism. Deism means, let's tell, or let's say the Verbit, fair means to do or to make. In the informal, we get fie. Fie, which means do or make. Fit. Fit means do or make in the plural or the formal. And Faisal. Faisal means let's do or let's make. The next verb is a reflexive verb, which means to sit down. So this one's going to have a reflexive pronoun on the end when we conjugate it into the positive imperative. So we get acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-coa means sit down in the informal. As evil. As the evil means sit down formal or the plural. As you all know as a young, no means. Let's sit down. Now. Remember that in the negative imperative, the object pronouns all go up front, in front of the verb, just like they do with most normal verbs. In the negative, the guar imperatives would be new tacit bar, C bar. That means don't sit down in the informal novels or Seagate bar. No. I say gate bar. Don't sit down using the form of, you know, news as they are on par. No news as I own path. Let's not sit down. When you have the negative, the reflexive pronouns come in front of the verb. Notice the AICPA has a Jaipur news essay on power. 16. 6b - common imperatives: The verb means to eat. And in the imperative we get moms. Moms, which means eat using the two form of you. Mosaic. Mosaic means eat using the form of you. And Muslim. Muslim means, let's eat. The verb Meta means to put. In the imperative, we get me May, which means put using the infimum. Midday. Midday means put in the formal or the plural. And midtone. Mid tone means, let's put some may midday. Midtone. Bois means to drink. And in the imperative we get what? What meaning drink in the to form. A. Bravais means drink in the phone. And beautiful. Beautiful means, let's drink. What do they belong? Ballet means to speak. In the imperative, we get bowel. Bowel means speak using the two forms of you. Badly. Badly means speak using the Buffon. And babylon. Babylon means, let's speak. A clear means to right? We get a key. A key, which means, right, using the two forms of u, v, Levy means, right, using the rule form of you. And E2, E1. E2, E1 means, let's write what you can do to learn all of these verbs as words in their own right is try and make up sentences using each imperative. So it cleaves bonds you later. Let's write a letter or a trivially easy write it here. So just try and think of as many different things that you could say using each of the imperatives and write them down. You don't have to do them all in one go. Just choose one imperative each morning. And think of five different things that you could say with it. The more you can say, the more familiar you become with the imperative and you'll use them without even thinking. The next verb, veneer means to come. And then the imperative we get via VM, which means comb. I often use my dog as a Guinea pig when I'm learning a new language. And so when I was learning French, I would say to her VIC, VIC to mean come here. In the plural or the formal. We get Vinny. Vinny, which means com. And then vanilla. Vanilla means, let's come up really means to call. In the imperative we get a bell At, which means call using to appellee. Appellee means call using Wu and Apollonia. Up along means, let's call. So you could write down a few sentences for Apple, e.g. apple modern man. Call me tomorrow or app alone Marie. Let's call them Marie. Or you could make it negative and say, not belong puppy here. Let's not call Pierre. As I said, the more sentences you can make up, the more these words will just become second nature to you and you'll use them without thinking. 17. 6c - common imperatives: The next common imperative verb is EDTA, which means to be. In the imperative we get Swap. Swap, meaning be in the informal. Sway. Sway means be in the formal. And swam. Swam means let's be sweat. Sway. Sway on. Means to wait. And we get at Don. Don, meaning weight in the informal. On day. One day means weight in the formal. And atan dong. Dong. Dong means, let's wait. This next verb is a verb we've not really had in the building structures. Series. Appreciate, app really means to push, but it's a common imperative. Means push in the informal. But you'll see the formal appreciate. Appreciate. Meaning Porsche a lot more on signs, on doors, e.g. a. Pre means pushed us and pushed to open. And then a prion. Prion means, let's push. A pre. Prion. Touche means to touch. And you'll see this verb a lot in the negative imperative. We get to spam. Not, spam means don't touch in the informal. No2 shape. To shape. This is Don't touch in the formal or the plural. Nutrition nutrition part. Let's not touch. Another verb we've not really seen before is Santiago di. Di, means to worry. And this is one that is used quite a lot in the negative imperative. New tank yet, new tank yet bar means don't worry, using the two form of, you know, tank get new foods and get deeper new foods. And K t bar. Don't worry in the Buffon. And news and ketones in the news and get on path. Let's not worry. You have new tank, get bad news and get deeper. No news I get on par. D means to stop. And you'll hear a lot the word ahead at it. Which means stop. In the informal. I had they had the means stop in the formal or the plural. I don't, I hit Done means, let's stop. Then we have another reflexive verb that we've not really seen in the building structures and French series. Sit there. Sit there. It means to be quiet. So tear, literally too quiet oneself. So we get in the imperative. Tetra. Tetra means be quiet. Be quiet using loop. And there's all new. It takes on new. Let's be quiet. So Gua Wu. Then finally we have lovey, dovey means to get up. In the imperative, we get Luftwaffe. Luftwaffe, get up using the informal. Love evil, Get up using the formal or the plural. And then live on new, live on new means. Let's get up. So those were just some common imperative. You should write them all down on cue cards so that you can learn them all as independent words in their own right. And then each day, try and think of five sentences that you can make with one imperative. That way, you will start to become very familiar with them. And you'll be able to make up sentences without having to think too much about how to conjugate the verb into the imperative. 18. 7 - y aller: Ela. There is one more imperative that we haven't spoken about yet. However, it is used quite a lot in France. So here it is. The verb allay can be put with this little letter Y. The letter Y in French is actually a word is pronounced e. And it means that if you've seen before, you'll know that it's usually placed in front of the verb. But if you have a positive imperative, well then it comes after the verb. The combination of e and LA literally means to go there. But it can be used as a way of meaning to go ahead as well. So here are some examples of it, not in an imperative, UV, ELA. Ela. I'm going to go there. Pierre evolved among Pierre Eva demand. Pierre is going there tomorrow. So as you can see, it's normally placed in front of the verb. But in the imperative, it will go after the verb. So you can say things like I lazy, lazy. And that's actually a common way of saying go ahead and lazy. If Azi, of Azi is the informal version of Alessi, which also means go ahead and you can use a lazy or Razi to mean go ahead. If you're opening the door for somebody, e.g. you can open the door and say, I'm lazy. And it's sort of like an equivalent to after you, Elisa, Go ahead. Or if somebody looks like they want to say something, you can say as easy as in, go ahead, say something. Alice, z and z are the formal and informal ways of saying, go ahead. Along z. Along z means, Let's go. However, there is one more expression which isn't technically an imperative, but it is used as such. On Eva. Eva. It means, Let's go. You'll hear this a lot in France on Eva, literally means one goes there. But it's used as a way of saying, let's go. So if somebody says to you, it means Let's go on UVA. As I said, it's not actually an imperative, but it is used as such. 19. 8a - practise with structure 8: How would you say in French, don't eat this cake?
