You save my life, Alexa! thank you so much! I was thought that "Il faut" had something to do with the verb FAIRE. How silly of me. But your lesson was great.
Thank you so much for the video on falloir. I was quite confused about this verb, but no Ionger!! Could you please explain to me when one uses liaison? If you have already made a video about it, please let me know. Merci, Sherry
Yes. The liaisons are very important if you want to speak a proper french. There are exceptions, as usual, but the rule is: when a word ends with a mute consonant and is followed by a word beginning with a vowel, you stick both words. Ex: je dois étudier (je doiZétudier). Il faut avoir (il fauTavoir).
Bonjour Madame! merci beaucoup pour vos videos! I have a question regarding the sentence about ‘du chocolat’ and ‘au chocolat.’ How do you know when to use ‘du’ or ‘au’? Thank you
cela m' est très utile ..Merci beaucoup!!! Il faudra que j´ étude beaucoup pour parler français. donc ... Je savais bien que le français, comme le portugais, n'est pas une langue facile a apprendre.
Il faut means it’s necessary, it has to be done! Besoin de is need with the conjugation of avoir, J’ai besoin de Tu as besoin de Il/elle/on a besoin de Nous avons besoin de Vous allez besoin de Ils/elles ont besoin de 5:05
Fantastic video lessons thanks a million Alexa, you have sorted out lots of my many many problems with French Shouldn't .....IL A FALLU QUE TU MANGES ....translate to - ,,,,,, you had to eat???? As in engish one doesn't say.......... it was neccessary that you eat ,.........but 'ate'...... as this is the past tense of eat? and 'you had to eat' or......... 'one had to eat' (more formal or posh version ) is what is normally used in english 'it was necessary that you' is not in common parlance
Thank you so much for this video. I’m still confused in situations like, «il faut faire les courses.» How does the person you are speaking to know if you are referring to he, we, you or I need to do the shopping?
Il faut faire les courses = impersonal way to say: shopping must be done/is needed. If you want to tell someone to do the shopping, tell him/her: tu dois aller faire les courses.
Dear Alexa thanks for the wonderful lessons they help me a lot. I have two questions on this verb : those this verb conjugate with the other pronouns or it doesn t make sense? and the following verb which was manger in your examples has to be conjugated in the present even though used in other tenses? Merci beaucoup
I would like to ask... What is the difference between "il faut que nous mangions avant midi" and "il faut que nous mangeons avant midi"? Is it a must to use subjontif after "il faut"? When do we use subjontif and imparfait?
IL fallait bien suivre cher ami ;à l 'école il faut toujours écouter la maîtresse .Si ça continue il va falloir qu 'elle sévisse .Mais il faut admettre qu 'elle n a pas l air d être sévère.Faut voir....
You can. But less for a recommandation/conseil. Falloir is more about an obligation. A real necessity. For a piece of advice, I’d say: tu devrais (conditional). You also say: il faudrait (conditional form of falloir). Il faudrait is nicer than the strong: il faut!
Hi, I was wondering why is it "un gâteau au chocolat" instead of "un gâteau chocolat? I'm not familiar with this use of à, and I don't know what to call this construction so I can't google it. Thanks for your help!
Would you say "il faut un emploi" meaning as "he needs a job because he finished university this summer"? Or "It is necessary for him to find a job?" Merci
Il faut un emploi has no meaning in french. Il faut is a general obligation. Better if you say: il a besoin d’un travail (un emploi) pour des taisons financières (for financial reasons). When you say: il faut un emploi, we expect something following. You could maybe say: il LUI faut un emploi pour….
I'm confused. You said it's an impersonal verb and only begins with the "il" how about "Elle" and since il means it, I saw in some of your examples il representing we. Please explain
Both means the same. But ‘ il faut’ has a sense of moral obligation (il faut défendre son pays, we must defend our country), whereas ´on a besoin’ doesn’t have that obligation
Dans le video, vous avez dit "il faut que nous mangions avant midi." Est-ce qu'on peut dire aussi "il nous faut manger avant midi,"? (pour eviter le subjonctif)
Hi Alexa, I would like to know what's correct translation...Il a fallu que tu manges-- it was necessary that you ate, or you eat?? and Il fallait que tu manges..It was necessary that you eat...or you were eating???
But is IL FAUT really a verb? the word Necessary in English is not a Verb is it? Necessary is an Adjective in English because it describes something that is happening or needs to happen. Also, there is already a French word for necessary isn' t there? I would love you to please expand on the use of the word Falloir if possible Alexa. Merci.
It is a great video, but I am struggling a little with some of the translations from passe compose and l’imparfait...’It was necessary that you eat before midday.’ sounds odd to me. I want to say ‘ate’. Is it just me?
It was necessary that we ate before midday = il fallait (il était nécessaire, nous devions) que nous mangIONS (subjunctive present) avant midi. ´que nous mangeons’ doesn’t exist in french.
Why « il faut que tu manges avant midi », and not « tu dois manger avant midi » ? I suppose I'm still very unsure about when it's more appropriate to use an impersonal verb.
You can say both: il faut que nous mangions avant midi or nous devons manger avant midi (il est nécessaire que nous mangions avant midi, is correct grammatically, but less used)
I’m so grateful you always acknowledge how difficult it is. But your channel is superb.
Bonjour Alexa, merci beaucoup for explaining FALLOIR and the various tenses so well and easy to understand.

You save my life, Alexa! thank you so much! I was thought that "Il faut" had something to do with the verb FAIRE. How silly of me. But your lesson was great.
J 'ai pensé la meme chose. TU peux mécrire sur mon whatsapp +918295544676 et on peux pratiquer francais. merci
Same thing here
Excellent communication skills !
Explained sooooo well.
From the example you have given, the subjunctive form seems easier than the noun phrase.
Your videos are becoming addictive 😂. I watch them daily.
what about your French now
Amazingly explained and with such ease ❤️👍🥰
Thank you Alexa
Merci beaucoup
Learning so much by listening to your awesome explanations
Very useful tips

Thank you so much for the video on falloir. I was quite confused about this verb, but no Ionger!! Could you please explain to me when one uses liaison? If you have already made a video about it, please let me know.

I haven't but I will make a note :)
Yes. The liaisons are very important if you want to speak a proper french.

You are an excellent teacher Alexa ❤❤❤
Straight forward and objective lesson; loved it!
Thank you, now I understand the second line of Ne Me Quitte Pas :D

Bonjour Madame!
merci beaucoup pour vos videos!
I have a question regarding the sentence about ‘du chocolat’ and ‘au chocolat.’
How do you know when to use ‘du’ or ‘au’?
Thank you
"au" would mean "made with/of" while "du" would be "some"!
Learn French With Alexa merci!

Hi Alexa. So what is the difference between DEVOIR (MUST) and FALLOIR (HAVE TO), when would use each of these verbs when speaking French please?

Ur lessons are always helpful
trés simple😊😊😊
Merci Beaucoup! 😙😙😙😙😙
Merci beaucoup madame ❤
When do u use passe compose vs imparfait
Merci Alexa. It could be a good idea if you make a video explaining the differences between falloir et besoin.
Falloir is a verb. Besoin is a noun
Il faut means it’s necessary, it has to be done!
Besoin de is need with the conjugation of avoir,
J’ai besoin de
Tu as besoin de
Il/elle/on a besoin de
Nous avons besoin de
Vous allez besoin de
Ils/elles ont besoin de 5:05
Fantastic video lessons thanks a million Alexa, you have sorted out lots of my many many problems with French
Shouldn't .....IL A FALLU QUE TU MANGES ....translate to - ,,,,,, you had to eat????
As in engish one doesn't say.......... it was neccessary that you eat ,.........but 'ate'...... as this is the past tense of eat? and
'you had to eat' or......... 'one had to eat' (more formal or posh version ) is what is normally used in english
'it was necessary that you' is not in common parlance
Hi 👋 everyone, I find this lesson quite interesting. Could I please know when à and pour are used before verbs......😯😯
À = to. Pour = for
Thank you so much for this video. I’m still confused in situations like, «il faut faire les courses.» How does the person you are speaking to know if you are referring to he, we, you or I need to do the shopping?
Il faut faire les courses = impersonal way to say: shopping must be done/is needed. If you want to tell someone to do the shopping, tell him/her: tu dois aller faire les courses.
Merci ☺️🙌🏼
Dear Alexa thanks for the wonderful lessons they help me a lot.

Is it a must to use subjontif after "il faut"?
When do we use subjontif and imparfait?

Well done. Please Alexa, do you have any video concerning most used words in musical instruments, or music in general. Notify me please.
is there any verb like 'avoir besoin ? I would be very grateful if you explain about it.
Avoir besoin = falloir
Merci beaucoup madame alexa
what do you need = what do you want ??
correct ?
Oh this is wonderful. Just yesterday I was wondering about this verb!
superb
2:42 just a doubt... It is Mangeons or Mangions?
hey its very useful but if there is more exemples to better understand
thanks
IL fallait bien suivre cher ami ;à l 'école il faut toujours écouter la maîtresse .Si ça continue il va falloir qu 'elle sévisse .Mais il faut admettre qu 'elle n a pas l air d être sévère.Faut voir....
Merci Alexa
is Falloir also used as a reflexive verb like il me faut ?
Yes. Il me faut = I need
I would love to see some subjunctive videos! :-)
Ok thank you for your feedback :)
Est-ce que je pouvoir utilise"Il faut" pour obligation ,un conseil ,recommandation ou suggestion??
#I need someone help.Plz Thanks
Yes u can
You can. But less for a recommandation/conseil. Falloir is more about an obligation. A real necessity. For a piece of advice, I’d say: tu devrais (conditional). You also say: il faudrait (conditional form of falloir). Il faudrait is nicer than the strong: il faut!
Hi, I was wondering why is it "un gâteau au chocolat" instead of "un gâteau chocolat? I'm not familiar with this use of à, and I don't know what to call this construction so I can't google it. Thanks for your help!
Un gâteau chocolat doesn’t exist in french. Nor in spanish or italian.
Merci beaucoup Alexa!!!!
merci my dear alexa
how about besoin? am confused on this 'need' verb.
useful and important Alixa.
I'm interested in you and your lessons
do you have any more advanced lessons?
Yes
tres Bien
merci beaucoup Alexa!!!!!!
Il va falloir means....merci
Would you say "il faut un emploi" meaning as "he needs a job because he finished university this summer"? Or "It is necessary for him to find a job?"
Merci
Il faut un emploi has no meaning in french. Il faut is a general obligation. Better if you say: il a besoin d’un travail (un emploi) pour des taisons financières (for financial reasons). When you say: il faut un emploi, we expect something following. You could maybe say: il LUI faut un emploi pour….
In the sentence: “ Il faut que nous mangions avant midi”, what tense is the verb mange in?
present tense
ITs subjonctif. Not Present.
Il faut is in present tense, but the verb Manger is in the subjonctif.
It is in the present tense. Le subjonctif is a verb mood, like the imperative mood where you're giving commands. It is present tense.
Mangions: subjunctive present.
I'm confused. You said it's an impersonal verb and only begins with the "il" how about "Elle" and since il means it, I saw in some of your examples il representing we.
Please explain
As the teacher says, you only use ‘il faut’. Never ‘elle faut’. Do you say in english ‘she rains’?
Les tenses de falloir
Il faut
Il a fallu
Il faudra
Il fallait
Il faudrait
When to use falloir or besoin?
Falloir is a verb. Besoin is a noun
where are the people making falloir sentences? Oh it was too hard? Il faut que tu lises ce commentaire.
Great lesson here, but I don’t understand why I wouldn’t just say “On a besoin” for We need rather than using “il faut”
Both means the same. But ‘ il faut’ has a sense of moral obligation (il faut défendre son pays, we must defend our country), whereas ´on a besoin’ doesn’t have that obligation
Dans le video, vous avez dit "il faut que nous mangions avant midi." Est-ce qu'on peut dire aussi "il nous faut manger avant midi,"? (pour eviter le subjonctif)
ce phrase ne marche pas, on peut dire 'il faut manger avant midi'
Yes it's possible😄
C 'est une tournure ancienne du 17 ieme siècle.
***** Je suis Français...(I'm french so...)
Hi Alexa, I would like to know what's correct translation...Il a fallu que tu manges-- it was necessary that you ate, or you eat??
and Il fallait que tu manges..It was necessary that you eat...or you were eating???
"Il fallait que tu manges" : it was necessary that you eat
@@learnfrenchwithalexa Merci beaucoup, et beau dimanche pour vous.
But is IL FAUT really a verb? the word Necessary in English is not a Verb is it? Necessary is an Adjective in English because it describes something that is happening or needs to happen. Also, there is already a French word for necessary isn' t there? I would love you to please expand on the use of the word Falloir if possible Alexa. Merci.
Falloir is a verb.
It is a great video, but I am struggling a little with some of the translations from
passe compose and l’imparfait...’It was necessary that you eat before midday.’
sounds odd to me. I want to say ‘ate’. Is it just me?
Pauline6247 I’m also confused, should it not be ‘nous mangeons’ rather than ‘mangions’ ?
river I would have thought so.
It was necessary that we ate before midday = il fallait (il était nécessaire, nous devions) que nous mangIONS (subjunctive present) avant midi. ´que nous mangeons’ doesn’t exist in french.
Trust bien
Aider
Why « il faut que tu manges avant midi », and not « tu dois manger avant midi » ? I suppose I'm still very unsure about when it's more appropriate to use an impersonal verb.
Both are correct. Both forms are used. You must know both of them.
Salut!
Bizzu Bizzu for you!!!!!!!!!
Je dois aller a magasin acheter quelque chose pour l'anniversaire de ma mere. Thank you
💜
Falloir
Il faut que je apprends le français!
Il faut que j'apprenne le français :)
Can't we say "it is necessary that we eat before midday" instead of saying "we have to eat before midday" for "il faut que nous mangions avant midi".
You can say both: il faut que nous mangions avant midi or nous devons manger avant midi (il est nécessaire que nous mangions avant midi, is correct grammatically, but less used)
If anybody wants to practice speaking french. even i want to practice.
C’est un peu compliqué. Pouvez-vous faire une autre Falloir vidéo SVP
Difference entre imperfait et passe composse, n'etait pas clear!!
très complexeeeee
Actually you can use rain with other pronouns. “I’m raining on your parade” or “My tears are pouring. They are raining down”.
