Study Notes

French Exam (15%) - January 22nd

Present Tense (15 points):
- Use "faire" for weather, not "être" (e.g., "Il fait beau dehors")
- Key verbs like "savoir", "jouer", "prendre", "arriver", "aller", "faire" and others conjugate differently in each person. Practice conjugating these for the exam's multiple choice questions.
Adjectives (11 points):
- Adjectives agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) with the noun they modify. Pay close attention to the correct form for the matching noun.
- Example: "Mon frère est très content" (My brother is very happy), "Marie porte une robe rouge" (Marie wears a red dress).
Reflexive Verbs (10 points):
- Reflexive verbs have a reflexive pronoun (e.g., "me", "te", "se", "nous", "vous", "se") that reflects the action back on the subject. Practice conjugation of commonly used reflexive verbs like 'se laver', 's'habiller', 's'inquiéter' to answer multiple choice questions.
Imperatives (5 points):
- Similar to the present tense, but used for commands and giving advice. Formulated in "Tu" (singular informal), "Nous" (plural informal), and "Vous" (formal or plural). The "Tu" form becomes "es" if the following word starts with "en" or "y". Ex: "Parle plus fort!" (Speak louder!), "Parles-en à ta mère!" (Talk about it with your mother!). Practice with verbs like "Parler", "Finir", "Vendre"
- Useful verbs to memorize for the imperative:
  - Avoir (Aie, Ayons, Ayez)
  - Être (Sois, Soyons, Soyez)
  - Faire (Fais, Faisons, Faites)
  - Aller (Va, Allons, Allez)
Verbs Followed by a Preposition (6 points):
- Some verbs require specific prepositions. Study prepositions like "à" (to, at, in), and "de" (from, of) and their relation with actions expressed by verbs. For example: hésiter à (to hesitate to), penser à (to think about), réussir à (to succeed at), ...
Direct Object Pronouns (COD) (5 points):
- COD pronouns replace direct objects. Learn the pronouns "le", "la", "l'", "les".
- Example: "I eat the apple" -> "Je mange la pomme" (Je = I, mange = eat, la pomme=the apple). "I eat the pizzas" -> "Je les mange" (Je = I, les = the pizzas, mange=eat).
Past Tense:
- Review the French passé composé, its conjugation and use.
Future Tense (Futur Simple):
- Review the French futur simple, conjugation and use.
Verb Conjugations:
- Master verb conjugations for all tenses (present, passé composé, futur simple, etc.).
