Study Notes

French Verb Conjugation (Gr. 9)

  • Regular Verbs (present tense): Conjugating verbs in the present tense involves using specific endings depending on the pronoun (e.g., je, tu, il/elle, nous, vous, ils/elles) and the verb's ending (e.g., -er, -ir, -re).
  • Irregular Verbs (present tense): Certain verbs have unique conjugations that don't follow the standard patterns. Examples include "avoir" (to have), "être" (to be), "faire" (to make), "aller" (to go),"prendre" (to take), "manger" (to eat), "commencer" (to begin), "appeler" (to call), "jeter" (to throw) and "préférer" (to prefer), "acheter" (to buy),"venir" (to come). Students need to memorize these irregular forms.

Past Tense Conjugation

  • Regular Verbs (avoir): Past tense conjugations for regular -er, -ir, and -re verbs are formed using auxiliary verbs "avoir" and specific verb endings conjugated for the different pronouns (e.g., J’ai fait/Je suis allé/J'ai reçu).
  • Irregular Verbs (être, avoir): Irregular verbs like "être (to be), avoir (to have), "dire" (to say), "faire" (to make), "recevoir" (to receive), "boire" (to drink), "écrire" (to write),"voir" (to see), "courir" (to run),"apprendre" (to learn),"connaître" (to know), "disparaitre" (to disappear), etc follow different patterns for the past tense and require memorization.

Future Tense

  • Regular and Irregular Verbs (simple future): Conjugations use present tense based infinitives with specific endings (e.g avoir - je/tu/il/elle/nous/vous/ils/elles + -ai/as/a/ons/ez/ont for 'future tense'). Memorization of irregular verbs is crucial for the future tense. Examples of such verbs include those mentioned in the provided text ("aller," "faire," "devoir," "pouvoir," "savoir," "venir").

Pronouns

  • Pronouns (direct objects): Direct objects pronouns (le, la, l', les) are used instead of nouns in sentences.
  • Pronouns (indirect objects): Indirect objects pronouns (lui,leur,y) are used as replacements for nouns acting as indirect objects in the sentence.
  • **Subject Pronouns:**These pronouns are used to replace subjects (e.g., I, me) like je, tu, il/elle, nous, vous, ils/elles when emphasizing the subject in a sentence.
  • Reflexive Pronouns: These pronouns (me, te, se, nous, vous, se) are used with verbs expressing actions directed toward the subject.

Other Important Points

  • Gender and Number Agreement: Adjectives often change form to match the gender and number of the nouns they describe.

  • Comparatives and Superlatives: Comparative and superlative forms of adjectives are used to show the degrees of qualities or features. Example: "bon" (good), "meilleur" (better), and "le meilleur" (the best).

  • Tense Rules: Various tense rules for different time frames are essential for understanding French verbs and their various forms. Students need to understand when to utilize different tenses.

Miscellaneous Verbs and Expressions

  • Common verbs (ex: acheter, aider, aimer, etc.): These and others (many of which are in a table on the provided texts) cover a variety of daily use verb conjugations. Students should memorize the verb form and their corresponding contexts of usage.
