hello everyone and welcome back to the perfect french with dylan today we are doing the recap of the grammar course if you are new here all the video included in the grammar quotes are free to watch here on my youtube channel and all the exercises and the notes are in the book so 46 lessons today we are going to review them all this is just a review so we are not going to go over all the rules and all the exceptions i'm going to review the main points for each lesson but i'm not doing the exceptions otherwise we'll be here for around three days two more quick notes before we start here on this corner you will always have the number of the lesson if you want to go back and watch it at the bottom of all the writings and explanations you will have the page number in the book actually a third point this video has timings so you can go from one lesson from one review to the other i will try to keep this video as short as possible actually fourth point if you are watching this video make sure to understand that this is not a course this video is only a review if you want to learn everything about a specific subject go back to each lesson this is just a review when you need to that's it so let's start the first lesson that we saw was la france sample the simple sentence which is made out of subject conjugated verb article and noun for example jean-monge so this is the simple sentence that we started with we added slowly more elements and we also changed the article subject etc etc talking about changing subjects we have three different ones we have a for masculine circular in for feminine singular and they for plural anabrico and je monge desures so it will be depending on the gender noun which brings us to legends the gender of nouns this is a whole topic by itself unfortunately i don't have time to review everything about it but remember the rule that ninety percent of nouns ending with uh are going to be feminine nouns for example unevil a silly feminine always study the gender of nouns at the same time as you study vocabulary this is very important otherwise you just study vil and you have no idea if it's a feminine noun or masculine noun study right away a una with the noun after the gender of noun we have le pleuriel de no le pluriel de non plural of nouns and here we have four different categories when a noun ends with uh simply add an s when the noun ends and simply add a nyx after anoin exception will take an s now we have a very specific one when a noun ends with a l is going to change to a x pronounced exceptions will also take an s and finally the last point for this one nouns ending with s x or z are going to take nothing because we can't have s s or z s or x s so so we saw the nouns we saw articles now let's see the subjects le pronoun suje we have different one for sangular and for plural no now we can see definitely we have four different one technically toy we have le for masculine singular la for feminine singular and lay for plural we can also have el apostroph when the singular noun starts with a royal or silent ash let's see regardless other articles are called les articles partitive estartico partitif we also have three technically four we do masculine singular dollar feminine singular de el apostroph singular noun starting with a virgil or silent arch and de for proven di homage the next point is to see the differences between se so sun and ele are going to be used for person things nationalities and java let's see this is a woman is going to be used for descriptions time nationalities and jobs as well for descriptions he is a teacher but we don't have an article between ele and the job the next point the adjective demonstrative where so set set and say so is for masculine singular set for feminine singular set say masculine singular starting with a royal or silent ash and say is going to be for plural the singular ones mean this and that and the plural one means these adjective processes we have three different columns for this one we have masculine singular feminines angular and plural we do have a little tweak for some of them we'll see so [Music] can also be used with a feminine noun when this one starts with a royal or silent ash let's review a few numbers from 0 to 19 we have zero a do from 10 to 100 this let's see a few between 21 and 109. says set cat rover d sweet and sonoff negation in french is made out of two words or something more we have no pa no plu usually the two parts of the negation are going to go around the verb in the case of a compound tense such as passe compose we are going to have no an apostrophe i use the example par but it can be any type of indication journey lucia be careful that when we have a negation any article letter are going to become a croissant number 13 ilia ilia in french can mean there is or they are we don't change the verb depending if it's plural or singular but it can also mean a go ago josue an hour ago the preposition a the preposition r can have many different forms it can be or or x allah or the preposition preposition can also have many different forms of de luxembourg the preposition is going to stay on it never changes i was born in minnesota or elvia elvia the verb ally can be followed by many many different prepositions so let's see when followed by a feminine noun is going to be a la alle a la pharmacia when followed by a masculine noun is going to be o ale or cinema plural noun ali of course followed by a feminine country ali or swiss or swiss when followed by a masculine country ali o mexic plural country alley or philippine or philippines by a city ali ah amsterdam ah amsterdam when followed by a person a business or a store you're going to use ali talking about prepositions reposition prepositions of players the list that we are going to see this one usually they are followed by an article we have some prepositions of plays are also going to be followed by the argos is going to change depending on the following noun josue after the preposition of place we have a preposition of time ah on don but we also have other prepositions that we use a lot as well such as now let's see when not to use an article when we are talking about profession we are not going to add an article except after say if we say doctor doctor we cannot say doctor doesn't work but we can say satan doctor satan doctor after the end references of quantity we don't add an article either the problem the problem after some prepositions when talking in a general way el shesh an apartment balcon avec balcon also after parley when talking about languages je parle francais one day you will be able to say that as well be careful that the preposition can also change the meaning of the verb for example r versus arriveder in nourish you have more in the lesson of course i don't have time to review all of them no yes no question we have three different ways to ask those questions the first one being simply raising your voice at the end to your head to a break for the second one simply add soccer in front of the subject esco toure pete escoteux height and finally the third one is to use the aversion etupre etuprett to ask a question you can also use one of our adverb interrogative where con common so if we see when are you leaving we are going to have a contest or compared to for the informal way we are going to add con at the end now le pronoun interrogative we have key which can also be kirsky then we have ke which can also be keski kesker and then we have de a ave first ki ki is going to be used as the subject of the question and we cannot use the inversion with it if we look at the sentence who saw this movie and the question i mean is allowed but not the aversion key can also be the subject of the questionnaire in this case the amazon is going to be allowed key at you key out of you so to have a key key is the object is also the object in this case we are obviously not talking about a person the aversion is alert as well what do you want cover to cover to cascotivo when we turn the discussion into another format we are going to have tu ver quoi can never be at the end of the question but is okay to require if you are going to use it with your preposition preposition being with the verb we are also going to use for example if we look at aquaponics or aqua escuche pons aqua escotivans because so we're going to use aqua not accur another way that we have to ask a question is with keller if we see what dish did you order the aversion and the use of essoca forgot to say that but this is when kell is followed by a noun in a more casual way to a commander cal can never be at the end of the question if we see one with the verb after kell we have a cale what is your favorite movie so esok or the use of the version are not allowed is adjective this adjective is very long to teach and the review will be as long so let's see 10 common adjectives the first one is going to be the masculine one the second one is going to be the feminine one we have courageous courageous desolate so all these adjectives can have four different forms masculine singular feminine singular masculine plural feminism but we have three that have a fifth form the first one nouveau nouvelle nouveau nouvelle nouvel as well with one l when the following noun starts with royal or silent ash and the fifth one is and then bo bell bell this one is bella now where to place the adjectives adjective most of them in french are going to be placed after the noun but some very specific ones are going to be placed before the noun a good way to remember them is we're bangs beauty age number goodness and size it's yours next one comparative superlative for the comparative we have aussi god processor i just told you that the bank's adjectives are placed before the noun we have other ones that are also going to be placed before the noun they are called less adjectives most of them agree in gender and numbers as well as direct in sentences we are going to have subject verb plus direct object if we see jolie and liver julie qua aliba ashley is the direct object so we find the direct object by asking the questions we can turn the direct object into a pronoun and they are off and so if you take back the example jolly alive okay now we also have lobje and direct and direct object same we are going to have subject verb and direct objects and now we are going to ask the question just like the dirt object they also have pronounce replace them so if you want to say she's talking to me in french it's the and the right object pronoun we do have other pronouns and they are igarek and o igrek is going to replace the following preposition for places we are going to have subjects so weekend and france is going to be replaced by igrek give the weekend a grec will also replace the preposition ah when talking about things amethyst is going to replace any object starting with the preposition the reference of quantity or the partitive article so that's a lot of pronouns how to use them together we have five different colors in this one in the first one we are going to have apostrophe everything about people then we have le el apostros you can remember it with my little mirror technique the selfish word me first object second other people third and then this the the donkey works really well with young students so if you look el molly minister unistura is going to be replaced by emma la li el we have four different colon here we have masculine singular feminine singular masculine plural feminine prayer real lumia not so technically this is one word okay the next type of pronoun is le pronoun demonstrative where sorry if you want to say this one you can add c so we see so you see if you want to say that one you can add la salla remember that we saw les adjective andi fini now we are going to see les pronouns which replace this adjective and followed by the noun and it turns it into a pronoun so we have anode and we are replacing it with pronoun your favorite pronouns is going to replace the subject which can be a person or finger usually followed by a verb on the other hand replaces the direct object because of that it cannot be followed by the verb directly it's going to be followed by the pronoun the subject pronoun confirm my words le film kojevu is going to replace an object or person when it includes because refers to a place a place in time or an actual place locale is a whole subject by itself but locale can change to occal and also duquella local will be used with other prepositions such as sur avec don pour etc se la robe avec la quel je me su maria se la robe avec l'aquel we are going to use the second column when the verb is followed by a specific preposition preposition when the verb is followed by a specific preposition let's see to comprehend so we are going to use soccer to replace the use of the relative pronoun plus what was following basically it's just to avoid repetition okay to conquer the text just say so don't you happen just say so don't you happen because french adverbs can have many many different forms a lot of them are going to end in mo m-o-n-t and we can actually build them from the adjective when the adjective ends with a such as bizarre we simply add mo that's the adverb when the adjective ends with a consonant we are going to take the feminine of the adjective so we have certain certain we take certain and we add more certain the ones ending are going to change and then we have all the other ones such as etc etc all the regular adverbs you have very very long lists in the book so i don't need to review that too much but where to place the adverb the adverb is usually placed right after the verb subject verb adverb we are going to have subject avoir adverb and then past participle we have a list of very specific ones that are going to be before let's see a few assay bianto de ja anchor alfa james we are going to focus on sebia sebon we use sevon for physical sensation or taste several when you taste something it's really good it tastes really good sebia is going to be for judgment opinion when you comment on the one of my video of one of my instagram posts you can say sebia don't say cebu because you can't taste the lesson sebia the use of anko and tujour anko usually means again and to giorgioja means always but they can both mean still and yet let's see etudiant etudiant still and still that's for an affirmative sentence and then a negative sentence in napa encore finney in jorpa fini isn't done yet okay finally the last point is i'm only going to do the coordinating conjunction because we have a lot a lot in the book and those one uh yeah some of the most used ones so yeah me or that's it the grammar quest is officially done a little bit sad i have to say i will be back in a
