    DR and MRS VANDERTRAMP are also all verbs that have physical movement. I was taught this by my french tutor, and is a useful trick to remember.

      Sometimes people get over whelemed by focusing on too much all at once. For now don't think about becoming a profecient speaker. Start small. Have fun just learning passe compose grammar, or learning phrases that might be useful, or learning how to tell the time. Do these little things well and then move onto your next French language goal. Eventually, profeciency will be a managable goal.

  • @cvdcfilm
    @cvdcfilm 4 роки тому +1

    My approach to this is that the verb becomes in effect an adjective and être is thus used and the verb agrees with the noun. Le person qui sort la salle est le person qui est sorti.

  • @theaquaticbystander7750
    @theaquaticbystander7750 4 роки тому

    I've been learning German for about 3-4 years and I've become conversational in the language, and I also started learning French just out of curiosity.
    Anyway, German has the same concept when it comes to the avoir/ être thing with verbs in the past tense, and the way it works in German is: If your physical state is being changed, then you use the word for "to be"most other words use the word for "to have"
    I've actually be noticing the same thing with French(to some extent). Just think about it. "to die""to become""to come back" "to go out" "to arrive" "to be born"' "to fall" all these verbs indicate a change in physical state or location. Obviously there bound to be exceptions for example the word for "to reach" that isn't really a change in physical state.
    But hey, what do I know. I'm not a French expert XD I'm just trying to think of other ways to remember which verbs use être and which use avoir.

    • @ParapluieFrench
      @ParapluieFrench  4 роки тому

      Yes, the change of state explanation is one I've seen before. In fact, you can even think of them all as some kind of change: either of state or of location. I think it's a nice way to think about it, although I'm reluctant for French learners to rely on it too heavily as not every verb that fits into the change of state / location category takes être. That said, I dare say that change of state lies somewhere at the core of why the whole avoir / être, avere / essere, and haben / sein distinction exists.

    • @anthonyrobertson7062
      @anthonyrobertson7062 6 років тому

      louatti amani He said not always, just depends. If you said I took out the trash can, then you use avoir. J'ai sorti la poubelle. He took his books up to his room (as in upstairs) Il a monté ses livres dans sa chambre. Here also you must use avoir. But you can't say something like "J'ai tombé la poubelle". I fell the trash can. Just search for être verbs that can use avoir in certain cases. I think most of these verbs you can never use avoir with them though.

    There's 300 you tube videos on the past tense and they are all exactly the same. Why doesn't someone just upload a long story or a bunch of past tense sentences so you can learn it by rhythm instead of applying rules. Every video does the same explanation of all the rules and variables with almost no examples.
