I like the way that you put all the tenses together in organized, which give us the chance to see very clearly the difference between them then easily keep the whole picture at the memory. You are very smart. Thank you Alexa.
I'm learning French at the Institut-Francais in London. Your videos are a nice complement and recap to those lessons. It's impossible to learn a language using an online course (in my opinion anyway, and based on experience of trying various online courses - you will never ever be able to have a proper real time conversation in that language) as nothing beats a real human teacher in a class room full of other students, but these videos are a great addition and enhancement. thank you.
I learned English more trough Videos and Movies than from school xD Especially vocabulary. And now learning French, Although it's easier because I moved to France and hear it daily, I still don't pay for classes...
Still at 25% fluentcy on duolingo, Still following your videos. Still learning. I can follow French radio better now, It no longer soumds like a constant stream, I can actually make the individual words even when I don't understand every single one. Good stuff Teacher. I look forward to the next video and rewatching this one.
Russell How do you go about learning through DuoLingo since the pronunciation is off? I've been wanting to learn French too but man I hate how it's so robotic and isn't anything like Spanish which has perfect pronunciation.
Miguel Angel, my mother tongue is spanish, but I also speek english since I was young. Yeah.... the pronunciation is something difficult but I just start learning french 5 months ago.... my teachers say is just all about repetition repetition.
Valeria Rico Nalvarte Of course ,it's all about repitition, our brain somehow will figure out what is being said sooner or later . I did update my phone in french language same to my laptop,watch, books, even gotta buy my bible in french, tv in french etc.. all is needed to achieve that understanding and fluency. I used to listen Indochine a french pop band from the 80's they are really good , get them on youtube you will love it. Good luck Valeria!
Watch french TV, movies and read the subtitltles .My nieces are raised bilingual they watch youtube videos to learn French, even children programs can help with basics like numbers, colors, pronuciation
Thank you for this. As a native english speaker I never had to think about 'present/past/future or conditional tenses. So this has been a real challenge for me even though I have a french tutor. However, this video has made it super clear. Thank you so much.
Great video! Really helped me memorizing the tenses. I like to study using French/French videos but when learning verbs its very nice to have French/English to understand better. Thanks!
Merci Alexa, my mother tongue is spanish, but I havent found a good video in spanish to learn french such as yours. Like I speak english too is such a glad for me to see your videos. It will be great if you can do a video about only the verbs ETRE and AVOIR only in the use of PASSE COMPOSE. Bisuss from Perú. Valeria
Bonjour Alexa :) Je suis Ricky from India. Your videos are helping me a lot. Before i used to search for Past, Present & Future tense but this video is making it very easy for me now. Thank you soooooo veryyyyyy muchhhh :)
Alexa do you have "learn English with Alexa", I really love how you teach and I'd like to recommend you to my French colleagues who want to learn English.
Hier *j'ai eu* un mal à la tête donc mon ami et moi sommes allés à la clinique. La docteure a me donner des médicaments pour ma tête. Je n'irais pas à la clinique si *j'avais* ces médicaments. Maintenant *j'ai* ces médicaments et je les prends chaque jour.
Good Day! I am beginner at learning French! I like your lessons. I would like to ask you, 03:40 'on avait (Imparfait)'. Usually with 'we' we are use 'were'. But there is typed : 'one was having + we informal'. If it possible, can you write please an example? How it to use? Need to add 'we'?
Alexa, I’ve been studying French for a while, and found myself a bit stuck on verbs in the most important tenses (not to mention the others, which I hope you will also examine at some point!) It is so incredibly helpful to see the tenses together, and particularly to hear them pronounced together. For example, the comparison between le futur and le conditionnel first person je form: I had never realized that they are pronounced differently, albeit slight. What I think I'm hearing is that the ending to j'aurai is pronounced "ay" and j'aurais is pronounced with a short "eh." (i.e., “ai” endings are pronounced more like l'accent aigu “é” as in “né,” and “ais” endings are pronounced more like l'accent grave “è” as in mère.) Am I correct in this? I am so thankful to you for your videos, especially the verbs, and most especially for the 5-verb comparisons. Thank you, thank you! You are awesome!!
Is aller + infinitive used to create the near future tense? Eg. Je vais manger=I will eat, I am going to eat, Je vais regarder le film=I will watch/am going to watch the film?
oui, c'est vrai, quand vous allez utiliser la vebe aller + infinitive, It is for the near future tense, therefore aller is much more near to being going to , rather that using WILL good luck
PLEASE HELP ! I’m so confused by the amount of the Times used. 1. The Bescherelle book (recommended by Alexa) uses way more Times and the Conditionelle Time is not even there, although its conjugation is matching with the Plus-que-Parfait (but it’s not the same thing!) 2. Another book calls Passé Compose a compound (two word) Time although Alexa calls it simple Past tense. Thanks for any advice
The endings for all regular -ER verbs are the same in the imperfect tense, just add the ending ( -ais - ait -ions -iez -aient, etc) to the stem.. don't know why Alexa never mentions this
How would you tell the difference between j'aurais and j'aurai in speech. Are they supposed to be pronounced slightly different or are you suppose to tell solely from context.
Context. Listen to her, they are the same pronunciation. My thought is that you need to know, or perhaps be aware of the spelling differences, particularly if you are doing written exams. Otherwise it's the context , as you say.
Hi! Thanks for this great video! I am confused with prononsiation of "Futur" and "Conditionnel" - are they really the same or I don't hear the difference? How you recognize those two forms (I mean if only hearing them)? :)
Guys, in the futur she forgot to pronounce the "on" pronoun. Would "On aura" be pronounced "onórá"? Don't know if was clear, but this is important for me. Merci!
Me and my mum love French with Alexa! Putting our brains to work during quarantine.
Same here!

what if someone can't afford to?
Millions of people each year learn to speak languages outside of a classroom, so to say it’s impossible is incorrect.
I learned English more trough Videos and Movies than from school xD Especially vocabulary. And now learning French, Although it's easier because I moved to France and hear it daily, I still don't pay for classes...

I literally love your channel 😍😍
Thanks a lot for posting this
Merci !!!!
how do you define the stem of future tense?
Thanks
Is aller + infinitive used to create the near future tense? Eg. Je vais manger=I will eat, I am going to eat, Je vais regarder le film=I will watch/am going to watch the film?
oui, c'est vrai, quand vous allez utiliser la vebe aller + infinitive, It is for the near future tense, therefore aller is much more near to being going to , rather that using WILL
good luck

The endings for all regular -ER verbs are the same in the imperfect tense, just add the ending ( -ais - ait -ions -iez -aient, etc) to the stem.. don't know why Alexa never mentions this
Can you give an example of

Context. Listen to her, they are the same pronunciation. My thought is that you need to know, or perhaps be aware of the spelling differences, particularly if you are doing written exams. Otherwise it's the context , as you say.
you are great!
Can you please make a video discussing all the uses of the word "coup"?
What an amazing lady, Thank you, Alexa.
Merci beaucoup Alexa.
i love your channel
merci! maintenent je sais quoi "eu" est
I love her
J’aurait and j’aurais sound the same so how can it be differentiated verbally and understood correctly?
It'd be more helpful if you can give us some example sentences as well, but your lessons are amazing, don't worry about my opinion.
🌹 MerciProf 👍
Je vous remercie pour cette vidéo
Bonjour, est-ce que vous pouvez faire un vidéo qui explique le subjonctif? merci!
Can someone please explain to me the difference between passé compose and imparfait? When do you use each one? Merci!!

Merci milles , trein bien alexa 💐💐😊
00:58-01:28
Love you love you love you!!! Je t'aime!!!
Est ce que vous pouvez expliquer plus à propos la conditionnelle.merci
Je pense que c'est la troisième fois que je regarde cette vidéo. Répétez, répétez et répétez.
Hi! Thanks for this great video!
I am confused with prononsiation of "Futur" and "Conditionnel" - are they really the same or I don't hear the difference? How you recognize those two forms (I mean if only hearing them)? :)
They are the same pronunciation, just different spelling. :(
Is the conditional really a tense? I think of it more as a mood.
It's both !
merci beaucoup alexa
Guys, in the futur she forgot to pronounce the "on" pronoun. Would "On aura" be pronounced "onórá"? Don't know if was clear, but this is important for me. Merci!
yes
