THANK YOU . there are way too many BASIC videos about conjugating common verbs that are not suitable for an intermediate french learner . This is perfect . Make more of these videos with verbs with prepositions or useful (but not super common like "être, manger, arriver, laver") verbs.
@froet213kil on ne peut pas car le verbe est "aider à", it is like a phrasal verb, "à" is linked to "aider" so you can't in this example. however with to go "aller", there is no problem because you can say je vais manger or je vais à la maison, the verb is not "aller à" but "aller"
Très bien fait! C'est vraiment beaucoup de notes à prendre par les étudiants mais c'est très bien expliqué et votre accent est très facile à comprendre. Bravo et merci pour le partage!
yep: a place means one goes there to do something one would not normally do there; just to say where you are. a short or a long while. But of course if you are a painter working there, you can also eat there!
to say 'I want to' in French it is just "manger" so je veux manger is correct (however for this particular verb, je veux à also exists and je veux à manger means I want food, je veux à boire means I want a drink)
@eternicaster thnak you, if you are interested, you will find 2 books or ebooks on my website about verbs with prepositions and adjectives with prepositions in French, Pascal
Marvellous, so essentially ''dans'' with a place means one goes there to do something one would not normally do there...or if it's only for a short while?...as opposed to the use of ''au'' and a place where one goes for the purpose of doing exactly that which one is expected to do at such a place...(gosh...I've typed so much now, hope I have been able to make myself understood...)...Thanks for your responses and knowledge.
the same thing, using dans you just say where you are or where you go. for exemple, je suis allé dans un restaurant pour demander l'heure (I stepped in in a restaurant and asked the time), so you went in it but not for what usually people do in a restaurant.
well, correct, it is but not all the times and with a different meaning, when you say je suis dans un restaurant, you mean you are in a certain place, je suis au restaurant, you mean that you are going to eat there. Dans is for locating people, for exemple if you are a painter and you have to paint the walls of a restaurant, you can say that je suis dans un restaurant. But if you are with friends eating there, you will use "au".
actually j'habite à paris or j'habite paris is the same and we don't say j'habite à un appartement but dans un appartement, or j'habite un appartement, thank you!
I really like your videos. This one made me think that it’s about time I got down to learning by heart the verbs which are followed by the prepositions ‘a’ and ‘de’. I have a question about assister a. I thought that in English it meant ‘attend’ in the sense to be present at, not pay attention to. Am I wrong?
Learn French with Pascal Thank you so much! That was very prompt. So in the present tense it would just be translated as ‘attend’ then, and your example ‘J’attend la reunion’ would be ‘I attend the meeting,’ as I attend TO the meeting would mean something completely different.
If we want to add COI in these phrases then how can we do it? For ex-I invited him to sing a song? Je lui ai invite a chanter cette chanson? sorry for no accent on e and a
But we CAN say Je suis au parc or je suis dans un parc, no? A book said that both these forms are correct. And what does ''Allez dans un restaurant'' for example, mean?
Vous avez bien expliqué. Je vous souhaite que vous fassiez le vèdio les verbes non reflexive et les verbes suivre la préposition à et de. Je vous remercie J'ai hâte de téléchanger
@ 3:20: Perhaps it might be better to say "getting ready" instead of "preparing to" for "Préparer à". Since, in English, "preparing" is methodical, whereas "getting ready" is for a state of being, a state of mind, or attitude. Hence, "I'm getting ready to go out".
Hello Sir. which one is write Sir. I give the newspaper to my father. Je donne le journal de mon père. Je donne le journal a mon père. Je donne le journal four mon père. Thank you...
what if i want to say... i want to eat, it should be like something like this je veux manger or je veux á manger. I'm quite confused now because i thought it was pronoun + verb conjugated + infinitive
these video lessons are really good, but complicated background colour, green yellow words are making my eyes tired after couple of videos, why dont you use white screen with blue letters :(
Monsieur, J'ai une question, s'il vous plait. I want to say: I'm inviting you to dance at my party tonight. Is it: Je vous invite à dancer á ma maison ce soir. thank you.
Your French lessons are fantastic; many thanks and God bless you!

Crazy to think that you are 12 years older now.

Thank you very,very much for these helpful videos, there are lot of details I've ever found,
you made it simple and easy to understand, I love it!
More clearly laid out than average. Thank you!
Merci Pascal d'avoir prepare cette video detaillee. J'en suis tellement reconnaissant. :)
Always good lessons. Many thanks Pascal
Très bien fait! C'est vraiment beaucoup de notes à prendre par les étudiants mais c'est très bien expliqué et votre accent est très facile à comprendre. Bravo et merci pour le partage!
Merci Chantal et plus ici www.frenchspanishonline.com
Pourquoi tu mettre à avant prendre ?
@samantttha you are welcome
I learn a lot sir from your video s ...
You teach is well ..easy to understand ..Thankyou sir .
@z3158755 100% sur, "arriver" has several meaning: Je n'y arrive pas: I can't do it, etc...
yep: a place means one goes there to do something one would not normally do there; just to say where you are. a short or a long while. But of course if you are a painter working there, you can also eat there!
well both are correct ;) depending what you want to say
to say 'I want to' in French it is just "manger" so je veux manger is correct (however for this particular verb, je veux à also exists and je veux à manger means I want food, je veux à boire means I want a drink)
Would it be more polite / ok to say Puis je veux a manger / a boire
Who's watching this in 2023? Best French tutorial so far
thanks, tell your friends :)
Cette lecon est très bonne. Merci beaucoup professeur Pascal.
Thanks very much, but could you also please answer my question about the expression I have used with Aller and dans?
@eternicaster thnak you, if you are interested, you will find 2 books or ebooks on my website about verbs with prepositions and adjectives with prepositions in French, Pascal
well, to get ready is "être prêt à", to prepare people's mind is preparer les esprits, and we can se préparer to get ready too!
Marvellous, so essentially ''dans'' with a place means one goes there to do something one would not normally do there...or if it's only for a short while?...as opposed to the use of ''au'' and a place where one goes for the purpose of doing exactly that which one is expected to do at such a place...(gosh...I've typed so much now, hope I have been able to make myself understood...)...Thanks for your responses and knowledge.

@jhormanrodriguez muchas gracias!!! Pascal
J'aime trop votre cours merci
Ahsanullah Shinwari merci
Très utile pour apprendre le français.
I have a question about one of the phrases that you use. When you say, "Il reussit a terminer les devoirs," why is les used instead of ses for his?
well, correct, it is but not all the times and with a different meaning, when you say je suis dans un restaurant, you mean you are in a certain place, je suis au restaurant, you mean that you are going to eat there. Dans is for locating people, for exemple if you are a painter and you have to paint the walls of a restaurant, you can say that je suis dans un restaurant. But if you are with friends eating there, you will use "au".
:-) Thanks. And good luck with gaining more knowledge and sharing it!!
Merci beaucoup 👍👍
Thank you so much for posting this video. It's a great help! :-)
I reckon words like ''manage'' and ''begin/start'' can be followed by either an ''-ing'' form or by an infinitive. The infinitive form is more formal.
Why is fini not in the infinitive finir at 5:18
Très Bien, merci! This video is very helpful, direct and clear! (P.S. I adourore y pronunciation of English vowels, cute :))
Merci Beaucoup, vous etes tres gentil!
est'ce que c'est possible si j'ecris "je vous y aide" pour remplacer "je vous aide a faire la cuisine"?
p/s desolee parce que je ne mets pas l'accent.
@lsfrench merci bcp. mais j'ai appris qu'on peut remplacer "tu penses a ton rendez-vous" avec "tu y pense". pourriez-vous me corriger? merci encore.
Can the English verb " manage" be followed by the -ing form? Isn't it used with an infinitive "manage to do sth"?
Yes, it's ''attend a meeting'', but ''attend TO an important/pressing work, for instance,...or someone who needs your immediate attention''.
actually j'habite à paris or j'habite paris is the same and we don't say j'habite à un appartement but dans un appartement, or j'habite un appartement, thank you!
"J'habite à Paris" or "J'habite Paris"? Which is correct? Different coursbooks give different versions.
Great video.
Vous etes un bon professeur. Mais J'ai une question.What if i say "Ce livre est a moi."= This is my book. Correct or not?
merci ;)
Thanks so much, good video.

Pauline6247 to attend, to be at

Pauline6247 j’attends la reunion is i am waiting for the meaning, but j’assiste à la réunion
Learn French with Pascal . Of course! How silly I am! Thank you so much.Stay safe, stay well. Merci beaucoup,
Very good video,! Très bonne video et bien expliquée j'adore !
Mercedes Javier Mojica Baltodano merci
correct, c'est mon livre or ce livre est à moi!, because être à means belongs to
Pascal you are from France?
Gato Laranja yes, i am
@@Frenchspanishonline I am learning french through your channel. merci. You are a great teacher.
@@Ella-z9e4r merci Gato
@@Frenchspanishonline Pascal how do I say "willing" in french? Example: I am willing to forgive
Gato Laranja je veux, je désire
Good Video! Thanks!
awesome lesson, thank-you!
If it wasn't for this vid ida been really confussed as to why these little prepositions were here, thx alot!!
@froet213kil non on ne peut pas car "faire" est un verbe, on puet dire: je vous aide à la faire (la = la cuisine)
If we want to add COI in these phrases then how can we do it?
For ex-I invited him to sing a song?
Je lui ai invite a chanter cette chanson?
sorry for no accent on e and a
Je l’ai invité à....
@froet213kil oui on peut car "rendez-vous" n'est pas un verbe,
But we CAN say Je suis au parc or je suis dans un parc, no? A book said that both these forms are correct. And what does ''Allez dans un restaurant'' for example, mean?
MERCI beaucoup
merci beaucoup pour le vidéo,Pascal
arcmino woowawa merci
Jouer à + un sport est également important à savoir pour un étudiant débutant. Je joue au sport. Elle joue au tennis et au pingpong.
soo good!! merci beaucoup:)
Merci
is there an easy way to remember them?
Don't think so
Very clear
Vous avez bien expliqué.
Je vous souhaite que vous fassiez le vèdio les verbes non reflexive et les verbes suivre la préposition à et de.
Je vous remercie
J'ai hâte de téléchanger
Vous or va means will?
merci beaucoup
@ 3:20: Perhaps it might be better to say "getting ready" instead of "preparing to" for "Préparer à". Since, in English, "preparing" is methodical, whereas "getting ready" is for a state of being, a state of mind, or attitude.
Hence, "I'm getting ready to go out".
Super great
What about donner à + noun
Pour ("réussir à") parler français, il faudra beaucoup de travail. ... mais je suis prêt !
Merci par tout ~Inertia
Plane Of Inertia merci
so helpfullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,thanks so much
2018 et je regarde la video!
Mady Ziop c’est bien
@jennieforthesox ahahah don't make fun of my poor English, ups, sorry!
no difference, we use more je dois, but j'ai à is interesting because it is like I have to
elle m'a dit à lui aide de faire la cuisine. is this statement correct?
elle m'a dit de l'aider à faire la cuisine.
Elle m'a dit à t'aide de faire la cuisine. pls Pascal is this statement correct. I want to say "she told me to help you do the cooking"
Does "apprendre de" exist in French? If so, does it mean to learn from someone in French?
You are right, j'ai appris cela de mes parents
+Learn French with Pascal Ou j'ai appris cela de Pascal. :) N'est-ce pas?
@lsfrench umm, not making fun- adore/cure are positive meaning words :)
je vous invite à venir danser à ma fête ce soir ;)
Good video.
Merci
Hello Sir.
which one is write Sir.
I give the newspaper to my father.
Je donne le journal de mon père.
Je donne le journal a mon père.
Je donne le journal four mon père.
Thank you...
à mon père is right!
Thank you so much sir. much love and respect...
@jennieforthesox ahhhhh, cool!
;)
Ah, nice to know.
what about
Elle m'a dit à t'aide de faire la cuisine. I wanted to say "she told me to help you do the cooking"
what if i want to say... i want to eat, it should be like something like this je veux manger or je veux á manger. I'm quite confused now because i thought it was
pronoun + verb conjugated + infinitive
avoir à and devoir are they the same
Asemota Sonia you are right
these video lessons are really good, but complicated background colour, green yellow words are making my eyes tired after couple of videos, why dont you use white screen with blue letters :(
it was one of my first videos, they are better now! check them at www.frenchspanishonline.com
Good, but ones of the English translations is wrong. It should be We are attending the meeting, not we are attending TO the meeting.
''J'habite à Paris'' is more formal. J'habite à un appartement OR J'habite un appartement. I live in an apartment/flat.
Vous pouvez dire J'habite Paris sans prépositions.
@lsfrench if it make u feel better- if u heard my french vowels u would probably cry :(
fabb}}}}
Monsieur, J'ai une question, s'il vous plait. I want to say: I'm inviting you to dance at my party tonight. Is it: Je vous invite à dancer á ma maison ce soir. thank you.
it's manage to do, not manage doing.
Karl Jo in French please
"Attend TO a meeting? " Isn't it " attend a meeting"
quite right. to attend a meeting is to be present at the meeting. to attend to the meeting is to take care of it
You are very fast in ur teaching
so a sentence I continue to learn how to speak french would be: Je continue à apprendre à parler français?? we would use "à" twice?
correct, the two "to" you have in your English sentence!
