    Thank you so much Alexa! This is brilliant, I can't find any words good enough to express my gratitude, I have studied french in the college but thanks to the teacher being ready to retire she didn't bother a lot with teaching us proper french. I speak English as my second language, Spanish bilingual and I'm so excited to learn French, what an amazing opportunity! You're do kind and so patient, I wish you all the best in everything you do.

      Literally same. Since you need to choose a second language and I chose French I was very confused about the irregular verbs. But this has helped me a lot. I have a French exam tomorrow and now I am confident that I will get good marks.

  • @paulodebourgogne
    @paulodebourgogne 8 років тому +3

    I think the concept of "Faire" is easier to grasp if you speak a latin language
    In English, "Faire" is divided in two different verbs
    In Portuguese, for example, we have the verb "Fazer" which has the same meaning as "Faire"
    In Spanish, we have the verb "Hacer" which also has the same meaning
    I don't know about other latin languages though

    I am curious about the use of de la and du with these verbs. I'm assuming they have to do with the feminine and masculine? But when do I use them. They mean SOME, as in Je fais de la guitare? Why do I say I am playing SOME guitar and not just Je fais guitare/ la guitare?

    • @DMC888
      @DMC888 5 років тому +2

      Lukas Suzzi Du = de le. De la - doesn’t shorten. So masculine becomes Du, feminine - De la.

Je vous demande parce que je sais que "arriver" peux comprendre plus que seulement "to arrive", et j'ai appris que quelque fois, on peux dire "je peux y arriver" pour dire "I can do it". Je suis désolé si mon français n'est pas bon!

    Dear Alexa, I have been teaching English for about 40 years, here are some tips . 1, People don't say sentences unles they are motivated by another speaker , for example I don't say '' I play the piano '' unless someone asks me what I play . 2. you don't comment on some points like : je fais du ''+ the insrument , and ''je fais de le or la + instrument , why ? Thanks in advance

    Can anyone out there correct me if I'm wrong?
    I know "J'ai froid" literally means "I have cold" but contextually means "I'm cold" or "I'm feeling cold". As such:
    1) "Il a froid" would mean "he is cold" if the context for "il" is "he" and not "it" right?
    2)When "il" means "it", "Il fait froid" means "It is cold". Does this only refer to the general weather or can it be used to say that an object like an ice cube is cold?

    • @bananamilkshake6051
      @bananamilkshake6051 7 років тому

      LFCATFE
      According to Google Translator:
      "J'ai froid; tu as froid; nous avons froid; & vous avez froid, all work, as does "Elle a froid".
      (Note that there is no change to froid when the pronoun is plural or feminine.)
      But this does not seem to be the case when it comes to "Il a froid" nor "Ils / Elles ont froid".
      Instead, "Il est froid" & "Ils sont froids / Elles sont froides" seem to apply
      (& here, the ending of "froid" changes when the pronoun is plural or feminine plural).
      Also, as soon as one substitutes nouns for the pronouns it seems to be necessary to use être, not avoir:
      Mon frère et moi sommes froids.
      Alexa est chaude.
      Regarding "Il fait froid", it does only seem to be used when referring to the surrounding temperature. And, even when "il" (i.e. "it") is replaced by " the weather ", the verb reverts back to être:
      The weather is cold = Le temps est froid.
      The ice cube is cold = Le glaçon est froid.
      My hands are cold = Mes mains sont froides. ("Hand" is a feminine word.)
      However, though Google Translator is a very helpful tool, it has its limitations. So, if anyone knows better, please correct me.
