1. Introduction: Hello everybody. Welcome to this new course. I'm delighted that you've decided to join me today for this new course. Today, we will be looking at what I consider the most important part of learning to speak French, and it's the conjugation. Therefore, all the different tenses in French. Let's have a look at the different topics of the course. First of all, this course is for all levels. However, some tenses might be aiming for more advanced level. I have color coded the tenses. You have for beginner, intermediate and advanced level. Let's have a look at what we're going to learn. We're going to look at the simple present, continuous present, gerd and present pasticiple, the imperative, the immediate past, the imperfect, the plu perfect, the near future. Then for intermediate label, I have put the simple future, the future perfect, the present conditional, the past conditional. Then for more advanced level, you have the present subjunctive, the past subjunctive, the simple past, and the past anterior. You have a class project at the end of it and also for each tense, we will look at the use of the tense. We're going to look at the ER verb, we're going to look at the IR verbs, and we're going to look at the verbs. Also I added 12 irregular verbs, so you have a good general knowledge of the conjugation for each of these part. I always tell my student that the French conjugation is 70 to 80% of learning this language. I don't think you can speak the language properly if you don't learn it. When you think about it, 70 to 80%, it's just amazing with just one subject to learn the conjugation. My best advice is to learn this by heart or as much as possible. Because whatever is left to learn in French for you will be easy compared to this. This is really, really important in French. Take your time to understand each tense to then learn the next one. One last advice before we start would be to learn it the French way. Do not compare it to your own language, learn the conjugation as we do it in French. So let's have a look at all the French tenses. Let's get started. 2. The Simple Present: Now we're going to start with what we call the simple present. When do we use the simple present? You can use it for events that are happening now. For example, you can say, Ju mange my soup, I'm eating my soup. It's something that you're currently doing. Then you can also use it for things that we usually do on a daily basis, for instance. For example, Juve travail, I go to work. It's something that you usually do every day, you can use the simple present for this. Also, you can use it for things that rarely change or facts. For example, JesuiFran says, I am French. It's a fact, that's it. You can use the simple present. So first, we're going to look at the Ea verbs, but I want to clarify something. In French, we divide the verbs in four groups or more likely three, but you can count them at four. You've got the Ea verb, the verb, and the Reverb, and then the irregular would be the fourth group. So the irregular verb, they are the verbs that are slightly different from the first three groups in the way that they are conjugated. So the AR verbs, they have their own way to be conjugated. The IR verb, they have their own way to be conjugated. OE verb, they have their own way to be conjugated. And then the irregular verb, they have their own way as well. So you just need to learn it per group. That's the point of it. That's where we're going to look at it per each group. So let's have a look at the ar verb. What I mean by R verb, it's basically the ending of the verbs. I've put some example of verbs, parle to speak, parte to carry, march to walk. You can see they all have in common that ending in ER and that's how you recognize them. So now that we have this group of, we can look, how do we conjugate them? What do we do? You have your pronoun. In English, they mean I U as a singular. He, as a singular. When I say as a singular, it still means a group of people, but it's conjugated as a singular. Nu, which means we as a plural, U as a plural, and there. If you've got any doubts about the pronouns, I've got another course about pronoun. Check this course first so you can then understand the conjugation with those pronouns. We have all of our pronouns. Then what do we do? We use the verb that we have found. I've taken the example of to speak parle. What you do is you remove the ER, the ending. We left with par par. You add P for each one. And then what you do is you add a new ending. For J, you will add the EF two, you will add ES. For, you will add E, for u, you will add O and S, for, you would add E and for plural, you would use E and T, and that's it. You just need to learn, we take off the ending ER and we add those new ending and you just learn them by heart. That's it. At the end, what do we get? If you want to say, I speak, you say Ju Parle you speak to par, he or she we speak we speak you as a plural parle finally, the parle. Be careful ENT or S. You don't pronounce the NT or the S. It's something that I've heard a lot when people learn the conjugation, they try to make sure we hear the ending, but you don't need to do that. It's just the way it's written. It's more written form than the way it sounds. Be really careful. I'm just going to repeat all of them par par. Now we're going to have a look at some verb that they end in ER, but because they've got a bit of a different ending, they've got just a little twist to it when you conjugate them. They're just a couple, but it's good to learn them. When you have verbs that end in C. They've got to C. I've put an example. I've taken the verb to force, which is in French, for C, they exactly the same as what we've just learned for the ER, except for plural. The only difference is the C for this one changes in C with the little tail under. If you don't know why we're doing this, you need to watch my pronunciation course because it's linked to pronunciation. When you have C plus A or U, the sound is C. But if it's C with DA hotel, the sound changes and becomes and that's why we want because if you look at I force, you force he forces. We say Ju force to force force. We've got that sound and we don't want it to disappear for just one. That's why we add Di hotel, so we keep the same sound. We force Nu foxun that's where we put that. If we would have left the C, he would have sound as u foco because the sun would be c. That's the leo trich. It's just for height sounds. Then it comes back the same force force. Because it's in front of E, it descends automatically. Now we have verbs ending in J. GER, and it's similar to what we've just, is just a little twist. For Nu plural exactly the same thing because it's in front of an O, the sound would change. We add a little E to keep the same sound. If I tell you the first three, mange mange, mange. I eat, et, O, et. We've got that sound. But if we would have kept it the same way, the G and the O, they would have sounded un gong. And we don't want that. It's the same thing. We want to keep that sound for all of them. For this, we add an E because then the sound just changes and it does j. Then it comes back to why what mange. As you can see, just a little twist for the nu. Now, if you've got a verb that has the E with the acute accent plus then the ending in ER, there's a little twist to it as well. I've taken the verb prefer to prefer. As you can see, just before the ending, we've got that E with the acute accent. And when you pronounce it, it changes the sound. Instead of keeping the verb with the acute accent, it changes with the grave accent. You say for the first one, I prefer you prefer, he prefers prefer to prefer. I prefer it's because of the vowel that just after the sound would change. As you can see for and U, they don't change because it sounds purest for the I. If I was trying to keep it how it is and not change it, it would sound I can't even say it because it's too difficult, prefer. It doesn't sound right. That's why we change it. JPrefa so much easier to pronounce. Be careful for this one. Just a little twist with the accent and with the sound. The next one is for verb that ends in ER, like what we've seen. This one is for verb that end in UT. What happens is you just need to double the letters L and T. After an example, which is to cool, you must have seen this one, especially when you saying Juapel and then your name. It's very common one. I think it's maybe the first verb that you would learn in French. If we look at it, Something because it's an E, you need to double the letter. For Uh we singular and there you have to double the letter. For instance, with the first one, Japel ap pll and the last one peel. It's all about the pronunciation. You can hear the dams doing Japel. I'm forcing it, it's really for you to hear it. Jael. We don't need it for nu and aa. It's more than a. It's not as strong. That's why you need to do. You just need to double the letter. The rule applies if it's you would do the same. You double the T for the same one. The next one is for verbs that ends in a y, y. So what happens is the Y becomes an I. You just change the letter. So I've taken the example of pay ye to pay. So what I've done is when we take the verb without the ending, instead of taking Pay, you put Pai, you replace the Y by I for the first three and the last one. If you say pa up he pays, I pa pa, he pays. And you would say JPP IP. But for Nuvu because you need the sand we left to Yu Pepe last one you don't need it, IP. It's all about high sounds and that's why it's written that way. Finally, we're going to have a look now at the IR verbs. Those verb that end in R after a couple of examples finer to finish, Azure to act, R pleur to fill up. And I've used Finia to finish as an example. It's the same principle of what we've seen with ER. You've got your pronoun, you know them by heart. Then you have your verb. You take the ending, the IR ending away, you end up with in fin for all of them, and you add a new ending. For I, it's going to be Is UST, U, there is and then you put them together and you've got your conjugated verb. To say, I finish uin. Careful, don't pronounce thes at the end. You finish Tufini something, do not pronounce thes at the end. He she a singular finishes don't pronounce the We finish you finish, as a peruse finally finish, the finish. Il finish. That's it. You just find out if it's an IA verb and it's regular, always remember it needs to be regular and you put them together and you have your conjugated verb. Now we're going to look at the RE verbs. The ending is RE. I've put some examples and to sell, pond to answer, at tend to wait. It's exactly the same as well we've seen. You get your pronoun. You take the RE ending, we end up with I've taken Vendor to cell as an example. We've got there with a DR ending. You learn new ending. For I is just an S, U, something an S, and that one is really easy for E, she, there's nothing, you don't change it. That's very easy this one. For, it's ands plural, remember, and the E and and then the same thing as we've done before, you add them together. I sell care don't pronounce the yes. You sell to don't pronounce the yes. It's just a written form to know what it is when you write you know which tense it is because of the written form, but you don't pronounce it. L he or she sells. We sell. You sell vende. The cell I Vande. Now, I've chosen 12 irregular verbs that are considered essential to learn in French, you're going to see them all the time. So it's better for you to just learn those by heart because it will make it easier for you when you speak French. The verbs are avoir to have, you're literally going to use that for anything. Etre to be someone, those two just learn them by heart. There's just no way to get around them. You just need to learn them by heart. They're very important. A to go, fair to do, Duvoir which in English would be must, pouvoir, which is an English when you use can, or it could be to be able to sometimes. Voir to want Voner to come, matre to put dear to se prendre to take and Sartier to go out. That's the irregular verb that I've chosen. Remember, there's not only 12 irregular verb in French. There's many more, but I can't do all of them because honestly, this course would last forever. I've really put the main one that I think if you've got those one, you've got a good knowledge or what you need to use in French. Let's have a look at them because they're different. Let's have a look why they're different. So we're going to start with AvoiTH as you can see, literally, avoir, it doesn't follow any of the rules that we've seen with ER IRR. It's just different. You just learn it by heart. If you want to say, I have, you have I has we have you have they have, you just learn it like that in French. JZun. And that's it. Just learn them like that. I'm just going to repeat them. Ja. Now let's have a look at B, et very similar to Avoi. It's literally different from anything we've seen. You just need to learn it by heart. I am Ju You to A. He is we are oust. They are son. I will be emphasizing this the whole course. There's no other way in French than learning them by heart. Just son. The next one is A to go, completely different. It's actually not completely different. When you look at it, if you really want to understand it, you can see that no and they actually follow the rule that we've seen. They kept the verb with add R and adding the right ending. But the problem with this verb is Ju to and El pur they're completely different. That's why it's an irregular. You're going to see some irregular. They follow the rule a little bit, and then they change for a couple. That's why we put them irregular. So Al, I go Juve you go. He goes, va. We goal you go pluralseVg I repeat it. Java Ivo. Now let's have a look at the rest of the irregular verb. I do, of, you do Tufa he does. We do u fuzzine they do. I want to add something on this one for Nu fuzzin. Be very careful of the pronunciation because usually Ai is F or you can see F for whatever reason, the pronunciation is different and does A for uuu fzon. That's not the right pronunciation. Fuzzin. So very very important, remember this one. Devi, which would be must, I must do something. Jo Diu doili don a pouvoir can some principle, you just learn them. PPP, il. Next one is Vi tout v. Vier to come to vent to put meme. Careful with those two. You don't and me tome Illme Smeing don't pronounce dot Imet and finally, let's have a look at the last three irregular verbs, D D ddd dis Pn is to take J P to P P. Therefore, do not pronounce the D and the S or the DP sounds like that. It's something that I know I mentioned a lot, but when you're going to speak French, if you don't make that mistake, straight away, you will sound more French. Like people we see that your level of French is better. There's no doubt about it. If you get it right like that straight away, it shows a better level of French. So I'm going to take it back from the start. Up. The last one is stir to go out. Just to sus sort us sort, sort. For conjugating the simple present in French, you have your pronoun, then you use the verb without the ending, which is either ER, R or, you just remove it, and then you add the new added ending that you've learned. Then you've got it. That's it. The verbs conjugated. However, we've got some irregular verb. We've seen 12 of them and you need to learn those by heart. There's no way around it. That's the way it is. But once you know that, that's it. You've got a present, which means you can talk about a lot of things in French already. You can just talk about what you're doing at the minute, about facts, about thing you usually do. It's already quite a large amount of things that you can say in French. My advice is to really, really work on that, choose a verb every day, and just try, just learn it. Just say, I'm going to conjugate this verb to death. Let me give you an example. I walk. Today, I'm going to learn to say to use the verb, I walk in French. Jars march, il march no march march il march. That's one verb and you've practiced it. Every day, choose a verb like that ando one, something you actually doing at the minute. Listening, you're listening to the course. Judd. The more you do that, the more the more you do that. It's going to be just so simple to speak with the simple present. I hope that will make sense and leave me a comment. If you've got any question, I'm here to help you and then we can move on to the next steps. Thank you. 3. The Continuous Present: Now let's have a look at another presentense, which is called the continuous present. So when do we use it? Well, you use it when you want to emphasize something that is happening or that more likely something that is in the process of or that you currently doing. So for instance, at the minute, I'm speaking, it's something that is happening right now. That's when we will use the continuous present in French. But how do we create that? I'm going to show you it's actually a lot easier than what we've seen with the simple present. The good thing about it is that you're going to need a simple present, but it's very easy. Let's have a look. How do you do it? Same principle, we've got a pronoun that we have seen before, I singular, he, we singular in French. Remember, we plural, plural, there. We've got a pronoun. Then what do we do? Well, you need to be etre in the simple present. It's great because we've just basically learned that the Sui Vost s that's it. That's literally the only thing that you need to learn by heart. That's it. That's the only conjugation you need for this tense. Then what do you add? You add en tren D. It means currently in the process of, that's how we translate it literally. You add this, the same, you don't change it, and then you add your verb, but you add your verb unchanged. If you know your verb, for instance, you speak, parle that's it. You've got it. You just add it. To finish, Pina, to sell n to go out, Sirt. I've put an example for the ERRA irregular verb. You've got an example for all of them. But literally works with any verb. If you want to say, I am speaking. I'm currently speaking Jussie Du Paris. You're currently finishing your homework to entren D Fin de Di your homework. It's that simple. We're going to do all of them. He's selling his car. He's currently selling his car, he's outside, he's selling his car. Is Entren D Vendre savour. We're currently going out at the door, we currently going out. Nous son Entren D Sartre. Another example. You currently speaking. You currently speaking over the TV. I can't hear the TV. Vous entren D Paren Pari Jen Paris Television. Last one. They're finishing their dinner. They're eating, you can see them at the table, they finish the dinner. Is entren D Lar din. I think this tense is really, really useful with on top of it a simple present that we have seen because it literally makes you have all the tools to speak in the present. It's very simple. You just need to learn one conjugated verb, which is to be, and then you can use it for any verb that you just need to learn the verb obviously, you need to know how to speak to finish, to sell. But once you've got it, that's it. This one is the same thing as what said for the other tens. Practice it, choose a verb, or at a minute you're doing something. I don't know. I'm meeting an app. How do I say that in French or let's remember Jusui tren de Manger that's it. That's how you practice. Keep using verb and choosing verb and practice it like that. That's why I had to explain about the continuous present. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below, and I'll be happy to answer it. We can move on to the next tense. Thank you. 4. Gerund & Present Participle: Now we're going to have a look at the geront and the present participle. I've separated the gerund and the present participle. Although they really similar, there's a little twist to them, so that's why I've separated them so you can understand it. When do we use it? Well, literally, it is a verb acting at the same time as the main verb and the gerund is related to the noun. First, I'm going to show you how it works. For the EA verb, what you do is you remove the ending as we were doing and you add A and If it's an verb, you do the same thinging but you add I double has at. If it's an Reverb, something, you keep the verb without the ending and you add a new ending, A and so that's why I just explained, a verb with no adding plus NT or if it's a verb, Is a NT. I'll give you an example of a sentence if you understand when we use it. The sentence in French is sartan Dui Obli that means going out of his place, he forgot his kits. It's the ING that you would use in English. When I explained that it's a verb acting at the same time as the main verb is the action is the fact that you forgot your keys and the verb is acting at the same time you going out of the place and it relates to the person. I've also added the irregular verb. Some of them are irregular and some are regular in that case. I've added all of them so you can actually see avoir e t. A, A. Fair, Fuso. Pronunciation. Careful fuzo, not fuzzleFz it's an exception for the pronunciation. Do voir Vernon proartier sartan. As you can see, avoid, they regular. If you look at Sartier or metre, they're actually regular in that case. I was just good to compare them. Now we're going to have a look at the present participant. Same thing, use it. The verb is acting at the same time as the main verb. The difference is, it's related to the verb, not to the noun. If you look at it, it's exactly the same as what we've seen. The only difference is you add before. That's it. So it's plus the verb with no ending plus ANT or Is a NT, if it's an IA verb. I've put an example. JV Pierre Mon Jean Anvill In English, you would say, I saw Peter while eating in town. In English, you would say plus a verb plus ING. I've added the irregular verb, exactly the same as what we've just seen. The only difference is that you add on before non ton, non, fuzant douvnt, Provo, voulonven metan, disanPsorto. Now you've seen the geront and the present participle. 5. The Imperative: We're going to have a look at the imperative. When do you use the imperative in French? Well, you use it when you want to give an order or command. After a couple of example, Vali go to bed, Rovi Duma, come back tomorrow, Danza Marie, give that to Marie. Also with this stance, you only need, we, and pro for this exactly like in English and you do not need to use the pronouns just as a reference. Let's have a look at how we do that. For the ER verb, it's simple. You keep the verb and you take off the ending, the ER ending like we were doing before and you add a new ending. For you add an E, F you add ONS, and for plural, you add E then you get par parle. That means speak, let's speak and speak. For the IA verb, it's exactly the same. You keep the verb without the IR ending. In this case, we use finish, fine we've got fin and you add the new ending, Is for, I doubles ONS for E, I doubles Z for you as a pro you get isins in English. Finish. Let's finish finish. Finally, we're going to have a look at the irregular verb. Compared to before we had 12 irregular verb, I had to take two that we don't need, which is must and can because they can't be really used as giving order. We only have ten for this case and it's the same. You just need to learn them by dear to say, D, Dion dit Av to have a aun Ae to be si sui un sui, Ae to go a on A fair to do, fa fuzunFtPn to taken pron provi V e Viger to come Vert to go out, sir stunt. Finally, met to put me Mon Mt. Remember, I've put the pronouns in front of it is just as a reference. Remember if you're using the U singular operon or if you're using. But we don't need them when we conjugate the verb, you only need the verb for this. Now you've seen the imperative in French. Let's move on to the next tense. Thank you. 6. The Immediate Past: So now we're going to have a look at the immediate past. So how does that work? First, you use it when you have literally just done something, hence the name of the tense, Immediate past. So how does it work? Well, you use the verb Vger to come in a simple present. So you've already learned a simple present. You should know that Vger is Ju vienTVinVen. Then you add D. In this context, the means just. Literally, that's why I mean just because it's something that just happened. D otherwise means of, but for this context, remember just. Then what do you do? You add the verb, but you add the verb unchanged. For an a verb, I've taken to speak parle, to finish, finer to sell Von I've taken one irregular verb to go out Sartre. If you want to say, I've just spoken Jovian D Paris. I've just finished Juvien D fine. I've just sold Juvin D vendre. I've just gone out Jovian D Sartre. It's literally that simple. You use Voner in a simple present, plus the Vb. I've put some examples. Juvien D Manger DP them in, I have just eaten. We just left. That's all you need to know to use the immediate pest. Let's have a look at another tense now. Thank you. 7. The Perfect Tense: Now we're going to have a look at the perfect tense. When do we use the perfect tense in French? Well, it's for any action there is in the past, there is completely finished. I've put some examples. J manger my salad. I have eaten or I ate my salad. It's something that was done in the past, it's finished, it's been eaten. Another example to parte valise. You brought the suitcase. That said the suitcase is here, it's in the past. The action was done in the past and it's finished. Us he Baron. We have arrived at my parents. Same idea. The action is finished, and it was in the past. And to create the perfect tense, we're going to need the verb to B if it's for movement verbs and you're going to need the verb to B t for movement verbs and to have avoir for all the other verbs. We're going to need those two verb to do the conjugation. Let's have a look. For the EA verb first, how does it work? We use our pronoun, as we've been doing that for all the different tenses, and then you use to have or to be in the simple present. Parle is not a movement verb, therefore, we're using avoir. So you start with avoir and then you use your verb, we used to speak for the ER example and then you add a new ending. In this case, the ending is A, E with the acute accent, it's the same for all the different ones. Literally, what you need to learn is the avoir verb in the spo present Jarvis and then verb without the ending, new ending, A, we have parlararPar. Parson parle. Now for the IR verbs, it's exactly the same. Fine is not a verb of movement. Therefore, you're using avoir in the simple present JR Ilson. You then have your verb with a DR and you add a new ending. In this case, it's I E in French. Then you have your verb conjugated JFinionineF the R verbs, exactly the same principle. You have Av, we choosing to sell and which is not a movement verb. Therefore, you're using avoir JV vio. Then you have your verb without DR and you are your new ending, which is in this case, U in French. You get Gvd Vanjani Vuse Vdd. That's it. The rule is avoir or in a simple present plus your verb plus the new ending. We're going to have a look at the irregular one. To have avoir, you're using avoir first, is using avoir as well in the first part. J 80, 80 is the new part. It's completely different. 80, 80, 80, V 80, Ison, 80. Oh. Now for A to go, A is a movement verb because you're moving when you're doing that action. Therefore, you're using t and t in a simple present is suits. Then you add the part with the verb. One thing when you're using you have to remember that the verb agree with the pronoun. That's why I have put A A with the acute accent. That would be if it's masculine. But if it's feminine, the person is feminine, you add the E at the end. Same thing when it's the plural, you add an S if it's plural. Usual etiontale. Fair to do becomes a la use Ison f. D wor must do to do do no do do son do. P can la son ph. Vuoi to want JV to have volvulus voulu Veneer is a movement verb because you're moving when you're doing the action. You use instead of avoir and something he agrees with the pronoun. Ju venue to nun nom venues venue son venue. Is on me. The DDP pre. The last one is Cartier which is a movement verb again. We're using again, JuertirtRtu Sirt, Ws a Sirt irte. So what you need to remember for the perfect tense is that you need to be what you have in the first place in a simple present, and then you use your verb. If it's a regular verb, so R E, IR or R E, you put the correct ending, and if it's an irregular one, you learn it. Like, for instance, if we look at the one we have here, D is D, and it's the same for all of them. So at least you only have to learn D and then it's the same. So that's all for the perfect tense, let's move to the next tense. Thank you. 8. The Imperfect: Now let's have a look at the imperfect. When do we use the imperfect in French? Well, for action that were going on or repeated in the past. I've put some example Je Parle I spoke to my brother. Java village, Conget. I came in this village when I was wrong. I came in Java Dansville conjet. I came in this village when I was young. So how does it work? Well, it's almost the same principle as what we've seen. For the AR verb, you have your pronoun, then you use your verb without the ER ending, we use to speak parle in this case, and then you add a new ending for I airs, for singular as for E, E has a singular AIT, purole INS, pleuro I z, and the AI ENT. And then you put them together and you get parle Tu parle parle par par parle. For the IR verb, it's the same thing. You have your pronoun. You have your verb without their ending, and then you add a new ending to be different for this one. For I, it is I as for U singular, I as for singular, Is AT for pleuro, I NS UPuron I, I, and for that I ANT. Then you put them together and you have your conjugated verb insulin. For the Reverb, it's the same principle. We chosen the verb bond to sell, you've got your pronoun and then you've got your verb without the RE ending. You add a new ending, which is the exact same one as the Ea verb. As as, AIT, Ns, I AIE NT. And you put them together, Javonte to vende, Indus vengo, ven, Vande. Then we have the irregular verb that you need to learn by heart. For avoir, you say Java, use Isa et Bette, nose, Ise. A to go Je Aeusal sale. Fair to do fuse to fuzz, fue nozonz Fuze. Be careful with the pronunciation on this one. The AI is actually not fair. DuvidvvivPv Pu pu, pu PvP pv. Ver to come to net to put me to metmem met. Dear to suicide Ptre to take prone, topnPnuPnP prone. The last one is certi to go out, uteTtete Noertot Ite. So that's it for the imperfect. Where you need to remember is that for the ERRRverb it's the same principle. You have your pronoun. You have your verb without the ending, and you add a new ending. You need to learn the ending by heart and just practice with it. For the irregular verb, you need to learn them by heart. Now let's have a look at another tense. Thank you. 9. The Pluperfect: Look at the plu perfect. So when do we use the plu perfect in French? Well, you use it for things that had happened or through our point in the past before something has happened. Java Manger my salad. I had eaten my salad. To ave a port valise you had brought the suitcase par we had arrived at my parents. So for this, it's the same. You're going to need to be for the movement verb and to have for all the other verbs. Let's have a look how we create this tense. For the ER verb, it's quite similar to the perfect tense. The only difference that to have what B is conjugated in the imperfect. So we've just seen the imperfect, so you're going to need it. So how does it work? Is you have your pronoun. Then you have to have what B and they are in the imperfect. We've just learned the imperfect. To have imperfect is Jet. You need to learn that by heart first. Then what you do is you have your out the ER and you add your new ending, which is, and then you put them together. W you speak, parle we would say Javi par, tuavParlPar, MusevParl VseviParl I save parle. For the Al verb, you do exactly the same. You have the pronoun, you have to have imperfect. You then have your verb without DIR and you add your un ending, which is I in this case. Then you put it all together and you get for the verb to finish fine Jiniaussavi fine, save fine. Now for the Reverb, same principle, which using the verb Vendre to sell, you have your pronoun, then you have to have, again, in the imperfect, then you have the verb without the RE ending and you add your new ending, which in this case is U in French and you put them all together. Javan, to a VandlaviVnd. And then it's the same for the irregular verb. Av to have becomes Ja to a la sauna u to be et becomes Javety a 808080 a 80, a 80. A is a movement verb. Therefore, it's using t to B and it's conjugating in the imperfect. You have the Jett, let use tune, set and then you add your verb. The same principle, except that we're using to be in the imperfect because it's a movement verb. For Ae to go with t A, A, let Auston A, et all I A. Fair to do becomes Java to have a fees Duvi must become Javi to aduana V D. Head. Povi can become a to have a no I have a p VulirT becomes to have a v Veneer to come is a movement verb. Therefore, we're using to B and it becomes ten to nunez Vnue. Metro to put becomes a Tua dear to say becomes a to prom to take becomes and finally, the last one is art to go and it's a movement verb because you're moving when you're doing the action. We use to be in the imperfect, Jett, Tutti, art, use tort, etti set SRT. What you need to remember for the p perfect is that you need to use your pronoun, then you use to have or to be depending if to B is a movement verb, if not you use to have. And you put it in the imperfect. After that, you put your verb without the ending and you had the correct ending. If it's an irregular verb, you just learn it by heart. Then you put them all together and you've got your conjugation for the Blue perfect. Now let's move on to the next tense. Thank you. 10. The Near Future: Now let's have a look at the near future. What is it? First you use it, but it's an imminent future. In English, you would use to be going to plus the verb. It's quite easy to use actually. Let's have a look how we do that. You have your pronoun, then you have the verb to go. Like in English, you're going to be going to you conjugate to go Ali in French in the simple present Juve v. Then you put your verb and change. If you know your verb, you just add to speak parle. If you want to say, I am going to speak, you say in French Jove Parle. I'm going to finish Jove finer. I'm going to sell Jove Vondre it works with the irregular one. I'm going to go out Juve Sartre. It's quite easy distance. You just need to learn A to go in a simple present and then add the verb just after it. Let's move on to the next tense. Thank you. 11. The Simple Present: Now we're going to have a look at the simple future. So when do we use the simple future in French? When as the name said, we use it for action in the future, and in English, you would use Will or Shad. I've put a couple of examples Ju Fine Film Duma. I will finish the film tomorrow. NozinVcens Lane Pochen. We will go on holidays next year. For the ER verb, what do you do? Well, you start by having your pronoun and then you add the verb. The difference with the simple future is we used to take the ending out. But for the simple future, it's actually easier. You don't need to remove anything. You keep the verb as it is. So for parle to speak, we have Parle and then you add a new ending. And then you put them together. If you want to say, I will speak, you say, Ju Par, you will speak to Parra. He will speak par We will speak up you will speak as a plural parle. They will speak par for the er verbs, you do exactly the same thing. You have your pronoun, then you use a verb that you haven't changed. For this one, we have fina to finish and you add new ending. If you put them together, I will finish AI at the end. You will finish tou finra as at the end. He will finish finra A at the end. We will finish NufineronOs at the end. You will finish as a eupluron finire E Z at the end. They will finish Fine ON E at the end. For the RE verb, we do the same thing. We use our pronoun, and then we use our verb. The only difference is you have to drop the E at the end. So instead of and we have and but with a the E at the end. Then you add the new ending, which is the same as the one before. If you want to say I will sell, you say Juvandre AI. You will sell Tuvandra As. He will sell Ivanra A. We will sell nouvndrONs. You will sell flonVuvre they will sell vendran and at the end. After that, we have our irregular verb and you need to learn them by heart. We're going to start with avoir to have Joe, Tura, Ia, nosurTbTura, I sural Ae to go Jira zero Fair to do there Tua must Dv Tuva V to want Vodou Vneer to come Vanrad to putt dear to say did Pondre to take prendre to Pondre prendre Pure end. And the last one is Sartre to go out, tire to seriation Viret. So what do you need to remember for the simple future? If it's a regular verb, ER IRR, you keep the verb as it is, except for RE, just for ER and R, and you are the ending. Then if it's an irregular one, learn and by heart. It's the best way to go because sometimes they follow the rule, sometimes they don't or sometimes they follow it halfway through. So it's better to learn and by heart. So let's have a look at the next tens now. Thank you. 12. The Future Perfect: Now we're going to have a look at the future perfect. When do we use the future perfect in French? You use it for things that will have happened or will have been completed at some point in the future. I've put some example to understand it better. Joe M devoir. In English, you would say, I will have done my homework. Another example to a Manger Avant Quilib that means you will have eaten before he arrives. For this, so you need to use to B for movement verbs and avoir for all the other verbs. It's something that we've seen with all the different perfect tenses. It's something that comes back. It's always to be and to have. So let's have a look at the ER verbs now. So we taking the parallel to speak again, you have your pronoun, and then you have to have at B, but they conjugated in the future. We've just seen the simple future. You had to have auto B in the simple future. JeaorT speak is not a movement verb, therefore, we've chosen avoir. After you have, you have your b without the ER ending. In this case, it's par and you add your new ending, which is A, E with the acute accent. You put them together and you have your future perfect. Joe parle, Tora Parle Elora parle, Noor parle, sure par, IorParle. And that means literally, I will have spoken, you will have spoken. He will have spoken, we will have spoken. You will have spoken. They will have spoken. Now for the Aya verb, we do exactly the same thing. We have our pronoun, then we used to have because we use the verb finia to finish, which is not a movement verb, so we're using to have in the simple future. Then we have a verb with DIR ending, and then we do a new ending, which is, E in French. And you get Joe FinitoraFini, Elora fine, nosinFiniVsore fine IsornFin. That means I will have finish. You will have finish. He will have finish. We will have finish. You will have finish. They will have finished. Put the same principle pronoun to have in a simple future plus the verb without the RE ending and the new ending, which in this case is U in French. You put them all together and you get Joe VandTVn non Von Van. And that means I will have sold, you will have sold. He will have sold, we will have sold. You will have sold. They will have sold. You get the point. We'll have plus a participant in English. Now let's have a look at the 12 irregular verbs. A to have a to be et, Tora eye ey ey, sore 80 or 80. All to go is a movement verb, so we're using to be in the simple future. Jure A, Tura, A, I Sura A, usur A, Vue A, I sur A. Obviously, when you use to B, you have to agree with the pronoun. If it's masculine, it's A, if it's feminine, it's A and E after that. If it's pro, you add an. Fair to do Dv must redid P V, Tuteur Vulvov Voor Volvo Veneer to come is a movement b. So we're using to be in this case, in the simple present, Josue venue, Tusura venue, Ilsura venue, No Venue Vosure Venue Isur Venue. Metro to put emia, Iorio remi, Isom. There to say, daddy. Prawn to take. Sart to go out is also a movement verb, so we're using to be in the simple future. Je sti toura sti Ilsa sti userm sorte vor sti I surm sorte. What do you need to remember for the future perfect? You have your pronoun, then you have to be what to have in a simple future. If it's a movement verb you used to be, if it's any other verb you used to have after that, you have your verb, you take off the ending, and you had the correct ending. If it's an irregular verb, learning by heart. So that's it for the future perfect. Let's have a look at the next tense. Thank you. 13. The Present Conditional: We're going to have a look at what we call the present conditional. When do we use the present conditional in French, where you use it for action that may or may not take place? An example would be in film Duma. I will finish the film tomorrow. In English, you would use wood. As you can sell, you might finish the film tomorrow or you might not. It's unsure. Hence the fact you use the present conditional. Another example, nozonc Leochen. We would go on holidays next year. It's not sure. That's why we use the conditional. In English, as I said, you would use wood to mark the present conditional. So how does it work? We're going to have a look at our ER bs, parley to speak. So it's quite simple. You use your pronoun, then you use a verb, like in the future, you don't change the verb. You keep it as it is. You don't need to take the ending out. You just add a new ending and you put them together. For I, you add AIs, you add AISI plural, INS, plural IE, the ANT. Put them together and you get the parle. I would speak to parle R, you would speak. I parle, he would speak. Nou Par leon. We would speak. Upari, you would speak. I Parra. They would speak. For the a verb, you do exactly the same thing. You have your pronoun, and then you add your verb unchanged so keep it as it is, and then you add your ending, exact same ending that we've seen with the Aa verb. You add them together and you get Ju fine. I would finish Tu fine, you would finish. Fine. He would finish Nou fineon we would finish. Vuinie you would finish. I finire, they would finish. For the verb, almost the same thing. You have your pronoun and then you have your verb. The only difference is we drop the last letter, the E. You had the same ending that we've seen for the other two groups and you put them together. You would get Juve andre. I would sell. Tu vendre, you would sell Ivan he would sell Nouvndr we would sell Vovndr you would sell. Ilanre they would sell. Of course, we have a 12 irregular verbs and you need to learn them by heart. Avoir to have Joe Tresure to beurre to go, tires. Fair to do Tuff Dvusuvre dovrevvpur Voir to want vudu Vudred Vener to come ovireTvianre, Ianrevianre to put metre Imtre dear to stdin to take pnreTPnrenre, pndriPrePndre. The last one is Sartre to go out, utreTarrearire. So what do you need to remember for the present conditional? You use it if something might or might not happen. In English, you would use wood. In French, to create it, you use for the ER and IR verb, pronoun, verb change and you add the new ending. If it's an R verb, pronoun, verb, you drop the E at the end and the new ending. For the irregular verb, you learn them by heart. The ending is similar to what you've learned with the groups. It's just sometimes the structure is a little bit different. That's all for the present conditional, let's move to the next tense. Thank you. 14. The Past Conditional: Now we're going to have a look at the past conditional. When do we use the best conditional in French? Well, it's for things that could or should have happened. I've put some example. Joe Pri avotiu In English, you would say, I would have taken the car. To remgePlutar, you would have eaten later. You use that wood plus have structure in English, which is more or less similar in French. We need the verb to B, et for movement verb and the verb avoir to have for all the other verb. It's quite similar to what we've seen before, for perfect tenses. Let's have a look at age group. For the ER verb, you use your pronoun and then you have to have what to be in the present conditional that we've just seen. We're using parle to speak, which is not a movement verb, therefore, we're using to have in the present conditional Joe Torre Nosorsorisoe. Then you put your verb without the ending ER, par, and you add the new ending E, E with the acute accent. You put them all together and you've got your pass conditional. Joe Pari. I would have spoken. Gore Pari, you would have spoken. He Pari, he would have spoken. NsenPari. We would have spoken. Musser Pari, you would have spoken. Ire Pari, they would have spoken. Now for the IR verb, it's exactly the same. We have chosen Fina to finish. First, you put your pronoun, then you used to have because it's not a movement verb and you put it in the present conditional. Then you have your verb with their end, fin, and you add your new ending, which is I E in French. You put them together and you get Joe fine I would have finished. Torre fine, you would have finished. Ire fine, he would have finished. Sori, we would have finished. VoriFin. You would have finished. IlsorFin, they would have finished. And then we have the Reverb, exactly the same thing. We're using the verb and to sell. So first, we use our pronoun, then you have in the present condition because it's not a movement verb, and then we have the verb without the RE ending. And then we add the new ending, which is U in French. You put them all together and you get Jore Vandeu I would have sold to a Vandu you would have sold Ire Vandu he would have sold Nusoru Vandu. We would have sold Vosori Van. You would have sold Isai Vandeu, they would have sold. And then we have our 12 irregular verbs. Same thing. You just learn them by heart. You have to be before it. That is in the present conditional. Sometimes you have to be because it's a movement verb. But what you have, we have avoir and you get Joe or et to be etre etree Noorueeet A to go, it's w to be in the present conditional because it's a movement verb. You're doing a movement during the action of the verb. Juriurur. When you used to be, you have to agree the verb with the pronoun. That's why there's an extra if it's feminine or an S if it's p. Fair to do to refuse If Dui must redu to du I red Nousen usaried Isdu Por wants V Veneer to come is a movement up so we're using to be in the present conditional Jose Venue Tussur Venue Ilse Venue Nousur Venue usurer Venue Ise Venue met to put remi, I rem, Noori Is remi. There to say ready I ready. Pn to take pre pre pore pri, Sirt to go out. It's a movement so using to be in the present condition. Je sort Tse sort, ulce cert, Nusori certiori cert, ulcere cert. So what do you need to remember for the past conditional? You need to use to have to be in the present conditional. If it's a movement verb, you used to be, if it's not, you used to have. Then you add your verb without the ending, and you add the new ending. If it's an irregular verb, learning by heart. That's it for this tent, let's move on to the next tent. Thank you. 15. The Present Subjunctive: Now we're going to have a look at the present subjunctive. As you noticed, we in the red part, which means we are for the more advanced tenses. I'll explain why. First, when do we use the present subjective in French? It's when there is a doubt or when you want to express a wish, a judgment, or an emotion or an attitude. Also, we use it after some expression. They often followed by cur and after supulative. I will give you some example of all of this expression. In English, you do use the subjunctive, but you would use the preterit which is, for example, you would say, I wish you were there. That's the way you would use the subjunctive in English. In French, however, we've got the same structure we have with our tenses is we've got a certain ending for each pronounce. You have to learn them by heart. It's more complicated than in English and it's also more common in French. So first, let's have a look at all those expression because you need to learn those expression first to know when to use the present subjunctive. You can use it after some conjunction. You need to learn those conjunction first so you know when to use the present subjunctive in French. Let's have a look at what we have Avant apriqe before, after that. Sunk without that Jack until that. Pour Vuk provided that. Bad it doesn't mean that B quake though a condition as long as a fan porque so that c, but only when it's at the start of a sentence, be careful it as one, only at the start, whether arm one c, less. If you see those conjunction, what you need to do is after it, the tense would be the present subjunctive. Also, after some expression, I poke you have to or one has to depending on who you're talking about. Necess it is necessary that it happens that it's impossible that Isupca it's possible that Ivomuc it's better that Ile tank, it's time that pace it's not sure that S Domask, it's a pity that prefer, it's preferable that san bloke, it appears that. But be careful with this one because we've got another one that is very similar in French, which is I sent Bluche that means it seems to me that. The first one, you would have to put the subjunctive, not the second one. It's a different expression, but it's very similar. If you find out you have to use all of those expression, you need to use the present subjunctive after it. Also, after this verb, which usually talks about emotion, fear, asking forbidding necessity, possibility, wishing or doubt, you will need to use the present subjunctive. Mica to like that, desk to desire that prefer to prefer that set to wish that Vc to want that Dum to ask that p to prevent that permetro to allow that terco to forbid that Av perc or grand they have got the same meaning to fear that ten to be happy, surprise, astonished, that, g to regret that dot to doubt. So if you start your sentence with those verb and then after that, you've got another part of the sentence when you have to conjugate, it needs to be in the present subjunctive. But I will show some example. First, learn and remember those. You also need it when it's some verb in a negative form. June I don't think that Juneau, I don't believe that. Jane D pac, I don't say that. Also after the superlative. S me it's the best that grand, the biggest that pierce the worst that Prem, the first that. Let's have a look at some example. Jun pins pa kill swalla. The subjunctive is after, I don't think that. It's the verb after swallow. It's in the subjunctive. In English, he would be, I don't think is here. You use the present. But in French, we do use the subjunctive. So be careful about that. Se Myer film il knees. It's the best film that he knows. Same thing in English, he knows, you use the present, the simple present, but we say Kill Cons and that's the present subjunctive. Hence the difference between English and French. We use the subjunctive more in those cases. Now we're going to have a look, how do we create the present subjunctive? For the ER verb, you have your pronoun, and then you have your verb without the ending ER, in this case, parle to speak and you add new ending. I is E U is ES, he, we singular He E, E, we pur I or NS, prone, I, the E and T. You put them together and you have your present subjunctive conjugated JP Tuple par paronparPar. For the verb, you do exactly the same thing. You have your pronoun, then you verb without the ending IR, so we have fin and then you add your new ending. The ending a bit different. You just put them together and you get Jus Jupins I finish. And then the Reverb, same principle. You have your pronoun, you have your verb where you have taken the RE ending, and you add your new ending, and you get dudv vende. For the irregular verb, you need to learn them by heart. Avoir to have to all use Vuse. E to be Ji Si Vuse, si A to go to sale sale, Isi Fair to do face to face, I face I face. Di must do to do I Dudovdvi I'll do Pu can ups Dupuis pus NuPPsV to want vv over v. Ver to come vine, to vientre to put me to Imetme Imet dear to say dudonP to taken to prenup Pin Stier to go out, sort to sort, I'll sort Noertt I'll sort. So what do you need to remember for the present subjunctive? Well, it's more common in French than it is in English, so you need to be careful. You have a list of expression to remember, a list of conjunction to remember, and you have some verb and also some verb in a negative form that needs to be followed by the present subjunctive. Once you know that, you need to look at how we structure the present subjunctive. You need your pronoun, then you need your verb without the ending, and you had done your ending. For the irregular verb, as always, it's always better to learn them by heart. Now let's have a look at the next tense. 16. The Past Subjunctive: Now we're going to have a look at the past subjunctive. When do you use the past subjunctive in French? It's very similar to the present subjunctive. It's an uncertain action that supposedly happened before the moment of speaking. Let's have a look at some example. I pins pa ji Alvill. It doesn't think that I have been to town. So in English, you would use H plus a pass participant. So it's a bit different because we can't compare it directly to English. How you can recognize it in French is first of all, we're using In pins pack, which is one of the expression that we have learned in the present subjunctive. The difference is, it's something that have happened before the moment of speaking. Hence, you're using this tense. Another example would be to regret tune page, avant de partire, you regret that you haven't eaten before you have left. To regret Cu, you regret that, which is a verb that after you need to put a subjunctive in French. As we have seen before with perfect tenses, you have to use to B for movement verb and to have avoir for the other verb. It's the same structure. If you follow the course all the way through up to here, you actually know this structure by now. But let's have a look again. For the E verb, you would have your pronoun and then you would have to have to be, in this case, to have because parle to speak is not a movement verb and to have is conjugated in the present subjunctive. Just remember it is J. Then you add your verb without the ending ER in this case, we have par, and then you add your new ending, A, E with the acute accent. You put everything together and you have your pass subjunctive. Par par par par use parse par. For the a verb, it's exactly the same thing. We have fine to finish, which is not a movement verb, so we're going to use two have. First, we have our pronoun, then you have in the present subjunctive. Then you add your verb without their ending, and you add your new ending, I in this case, E in French. You put everything together and you have your past subjunctive finesse fine. And you can guess for the verb, we're doing exactly the same thing. We're using the Vande to sell. We put our pronoun then we used to have because it's not a movement to have is in the present subjunctive. Then we have our verb with the R ending and then the new ending in French. Vanden Vande. Now we have 12 irregular verbs. We're going to use to AB in the present subjunctive, and then we have the verb. However, for the irregular verb, you just learn them by heart because they usually change completely or they don't follow the rule properly. The best way is to learn the irregular verb by heart. Let's start with avoir to have UUU, to be et to 80 80 use on 80 use 80, I 80. To go A, we're using Et to B in this case, because A is a movement bus Ae to sua Ae I'll sua Aeon Allie Ai I'll sua A. Fair to do to D must do to do do I do I V V V V V vol Veneer to come Ji Venusi Venus nu Vue use Vn, I Vn. We used to be because it's a movement verb. Remember, when you used to be, you have to agree with the pronoun. Hence why I have added the E if it's feminine or the S if it's plural. Met to put to I D to say to done prom to take the last one is art to go out, which is a movement verb, so we're using to be in the present subjunctive, Jitiatt sortie sti sty. So what do you need to remember for the past subjunctive? Well, it's quite easy. You need your pronoun. Then you have to choose between to have or to B to B if it's a movement verb, if it's not to have, and you put those in the present subjunctive. Then you add your verb without the ending, ER IR or RE and you put the new ending. If it's an irregular verb, you just learning by heart. That's it for the past subjunctive. Let's move on to the next tense. Thank you. 17. The Simple Past: So now let's have a look at the simple best. When do we use the simple best in French? Well, literally, we don't really use it when we speak. It's only for formal writing such as in books in literature or articles in journalism. So it's more like if you read books in French, you would see this tense rather than hearing it, you wouldn't hear it unless a person is actually reading something that has been written. Titans, I think is really for an advanced level if you really want to be able to read books in French. If it's just to speak French and just for conversation, I don't think you need to learn this tens unless you have mastered all the rest of the tenses in French. That would be maybe another thing to learn just as an extra learning. But it's really for reading books in general. It's always good to have a look at it, but I don't recommend learning distance unless you really need it. So let's have a look at it. For instance, parle a vois. I speak to the neighbor. To Pre sac, you take the back. Obviously, it's not obvious in English because you don't have it, you use the present. Let's have a look how do we create distance? For the AR verb, you have your pronoun. You have your verb without the AR ending in this case, parle to speak becomes parle, and then you add your new ending. Let's have a look at the ending because they're quite new. We haven't seen those before. For I, it would be AI for singular, as for E, she or E singular in French, A, for Purn a Cflex to C Cflex on the A S for plural, C Cflex A, TS and the E with degrave accent, RENT. Those ending as you can see compared to everything we've seen before, are a little bit different. Then you put everything together and you have your simple pass conjugated, you would say uparleTpar par la parla part parle. For the a verb, it's the same thing. We have a pronoun. Then we've chosen the verb finer to finish. We take the R at the end and we get in and we add the new ending. The new ending issues tou fine, I fine I with the circumflex accent, Esuinm I with the circumflex accent, Ts we finite INT, finer. Then for the RI verb, same principle, pronoun, then the verb we've chosen Vant to cell. We take the RE ending and we get on and we add the new ending. Those endings they're similar to the R verbs. Put them together and you get Ju vantTuvnti Vantiv vdi vanti. Obviously we have irregular verb. Same ID, learned by heart. A to have jet to be A to go to a val Izaler Fair to do, fair pur to want to vul near to come vulvar met to put to me I um mi There to say di prom to take prep. The last one is Stier to go out, sortiti. What do you need to remember about the simple past? It's not really a spoken tense. It's something that you would find in books or articles. Obviously, it works the same way as the other tenses. You have your pronoun, then you have your verb without the ending and you learn the new ending. If it's an irregular verb, especially for this one, I would learn them by heart. Let's move on to our last tense. 18. The Past Anterior: Now we're going to have a look at the past interior, and this is the last tense that we will be looking at today in French. When do we use the past interior in French? Well, if you've just watched the simple past, it's exactly the same. It's for formal writing such as books in literature and article in journalism, but for things that had happened. It's like our past of the past simple. Let's see an example. J Parle la voisin. In English, you would say, I had spoken to the neighbor. To pri Lussac, you had taken the bag. As we've seen before, when we have a perfect tense, we used to be for movement verb and to have for the other verbs. Let's have a look at how we structure that tense. For the Air verb, we have the pronoun. Then we have the verb to have or to be depending if it's a movement verb, it's to be, if it's not to have. In this case, we're using parley to speak, which is not a movement verb, so we stay to have. We conjugate to have in the simple past that we've just seen Juul Z. And then you add the verb without the ER ending par. You add your new ending, A, E with the acute accent and you put everything together and you have your past interior. You would say par par par par zu par par. For the a verb, we do exactly the same thing. We have our pronoun, then we used to have because in this case, we're using the b fina to finish. It's not a movement verb, so we used to have in the simple past. Then you have your verb weo their ending, fin and you add your new ending, I E in French. You put everything together and you have your past interior conjugated. Finite jur fine. For the RI verb, exactly the same thing. Pronoun, then you have to be. We're using and to sell, which is not a movement verb, so we used to have in a simple past. Then we have a verb with the Re ending, an and we use the new endi in French. Then you put everything together and you have the past interior conjugated. Jonnu nunju Finally, our 12 irregular verb. Something you would use to have a TB, if it's movement TB, if it's not to have, and you put them in a simple test. Then you add your verb, which is irregular. In this case, you learn it by heart. For avoir to have, you would say, it to be eye et et et et. A to go A A Aueutur A. Same thinging with to B, remember, you agree with the pronoun. If it's feminine, you add an E, if it's plural, you add an S. Also, we're using to be because Ae is a movement verb. Fair to do us it Dust do to do do nos do it do I do it. Lo Wool vulvody Vener to come using TB because it's a movement verb venue to venue Venum Venue out Venue fur venue. Metre to put um to um no visit me, sure me. Dear to say, D, D, D D D P to take. And finally, the last one art to go, which is a movement verb, so we're using to be in the simple pest, fuerte, 240, fertumirtt fuerte. So what do you need to remember for the past interior? You use it for things that had happened and only for written form for books and for articles. What you need is your pronoun. Then you use to have or to be depending if it's a movement verb to B, to have for the other verbs and you put them in a simple past. Then you have your verb, you take off the ending and you add to new ending. If it's an irregular verb, you learn them by heart because it will be a bit different. That's it for the past interior. That was our last tense for this course. Thank you. 19. Conclusion: Well done, everybody, you have now seen all the French tenses. Now you ten to practice.
