| Hehe, no problem -w- I enjoy it. Today, we were supposed to write five sentences, and then we were given this assignment to help us understand direct object pronouns... I finished both, and then this kid across from me asked me to help revise his five sentences o-o So... apparently I be swift. Also, I missed the day we talked about this one thing, but I had read up a little about it the previous night... my teacher put examples of it up on the board and told me I didn't have to answer since I hadn't been there, and then asked the class what it was. After a few seconds of dead silence, I raised my hand, my teacher called on me, surprised, and then I just said... "Indirect object pronouns?" And I was right. Only the teacher was shocked, apparently ;-; I've got your back nwn |
Like, right now? Hmm... okay...
Pronouns:
Je--> I (Je t'aime) Nous--> We (Nous sommes rentres)
Tu--> Informal You (Tu blagues) Vous--> Plural or formal You (Vous avez la raison)
Il--> He (Il n'est pas grand) Ils--> Plural He / They (Ils sont une equippe)
Elle--> She (Elle est jolie) Elles--> Feminine They (Elles sont les filles de ma taunte)
Ce--> It (C'est tres facile)
On--> Informal They (On me dit)
Indirect object, when something is being acted upon indirectly
Me--> Me, pronounced 'muh' (Elle me dit) Nous--> Us (Il nous pleure)
Te--> Informal You (Je t'aime) Vous--> Plural or Formal You (Je vous donne)
Lui--> Him, Her, It (Je lui mange) Leur--> Them (Nous leur attendons)
Direct object, when something is directly acted upon
For the most part, the same pronouns, but with a few added ones...
Le, La, Les, L'--> It (Je le mange) [used in situations where you would say 'the something', like l'oiseau)
Passe Compose (I've only learned two ways so far, etre and avoir)
**Etre** Using the helping verb "to be"
This will likely be what you use when you use verbs having to do with travel. Just conjugate the etre verb for the noun/pronoun you're using, then use the special conjugation for the past-tense verb....
Monter--> to ascend/ to go up: Je suis(se) monte(e), Tu es monte(e), Il est monte, Elle est montee, Nous
sommes monte(e)s, Vous etes monte(e)s, Ils sont montes, Elles sont montees
-er verbs will end up with an accented e on the end, but if it's feminine, you add another, non-accented e, and if it's plural, you add an s to the end. Conjugate helping verbs as normal.
(tomber: to fall, rester: to stay, passer: to pass, aller: to go, entrer: to enter, retourner: to return, arriver: to arrive, rentrer: to return home)
Sortir--> To go out: Je suis(se) sorti(e), Tu es sorti(e), Il est sorti, Elle est sortie, Nous sommes sorti(e)s,
Vous etes sorti(e)s, Ils sont sortis, Elles sont sorties
Most -ir verbs will just end in i, adding an e to feminine and an s to plural past tense verbs.
(partir: to leave)
Descendre--> to descend/ to go down: Je suis(se) descendu(e), Tu es descendu(e), Il est descendu, Elle est descendue, Nous sommes descendu(e)s, Vous etes descendu(e)s, Ils sont descendus, Elles sont descendues
Most -re verbs will be exactly the same as the other two, but end in a u.
EXCEPTIONS! bleh...
Remember how many times I said 'most'? Well, here's why...
-IR VERB EXCEPTIONS
Some end in u instead. These are venir (venu/venus/venue/venues), revenir (revenu/revenus/revenue/ revenues), and devenir (devenu/devenus/devenue/devenues). There's also that one special one, mourir. Its conjugations are mort, morts, morte, and mortes.
-RE VERB EXCEPTIONS
There's only one, and that's naitre (i has a circumflex ). It's conjugated more like an -er verb: (first e is accented for all of these) ne/nes/nee/nees.
Sorry, that's all I'm doing tonight, it's like, 12:00 here, but I'll probably pick this up tomorrow nwn' |
