This document discusses the use of superlatives in French. It explains that superlatives are used to indicate the most, least, best, or worst of something. It provides examples of how to form superlatives with adjectives that come before or after nouns. The document also includes practice questions asking how to say "the smallest classroom", "the tallest student", "the strangest car", and "She speaks the fastest" in French using superlatives. Finally, it notes how the words for good, well, and bad change when using their superlative forms.
Relative pronouns in French, qui and que, are used to connect two clauses. Qui replaces the subject of the subordinate clause and is always followed by a verb. Que replaces an object of the subordinate clause, is always followed by a noun and verb, and must agree in number and gender with the noun it replaces when used with the passé composé verb tense.
This presentation deals with the Literature Review section of Business and Technical Writing proposals at Rutgers University (Paradigm: Theoretical Frameworks + Models of Success).
The document discusses the subjunctive mood in French. It explains that the subjunctive indicates the speaker's attitude rather than when an action occurred, and is used to express doubt, desire, necessity, fear and possibility. It provides details on subjunctive formation, including stems, endings and irregular verbs. Examples are given to illustrate usage in dependent clauses introduced by "que" to express desire, necessity, fear and possibility.
This document discusses the formation and usage of adverbs in French. It explains that adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It provides rules for forming adverbs from adjectives by adding "-ment" or "-emment"/"-amment" depending on how the adjective ends. The document also covers the placement of adverbs in sentences, noting that they usually follow verbs in simple tenses and past participles in compound tenses, while some short adverbs can go between the auxiliary and past participle.
2. le futur proche
Aller + l’infinitif
Je vais faire mes devoirs. Je vais les faire. I am
going to do my homework. I am going to do
them.
Nous allons aller à la bibliothèque. Nous allons
y aller. We are going to go to the library. We are
going to go there.
3. le futur (simple)
L’infinif + ai/as/a/ons/ez/ont (drop the e of
re verbs)
Irregular stems:
être: ser-, avoir: aur-, faire: fer-, aller: ir-,
pouvoir: pourr-, voulour: voudr-,
devoir: devr-, venir: viendr-, savoir: saur-,
voir: verr-
4. le futur (simple)
Dans 10 ans, je serai prof de français à
l’université de Kentucky.
Votre deuxième Common Hour Exam aura
plus de questions que le premier.
Qu’est-ce que vous ferez cet été?
5. le conditionnel
The conditional uses the same stem as the future,
so you will hear the same “r” sound:
the infinitive (dropping the “e” of -re verbs)
the same irregular stems:
être: ser-, avoir: aur-, faire: fer-, aller: ir-,
pouvoir: pourr-, voulour: voudr-, devoir: devr-,
venir: viendr-, savoir: saur-, voir: verr-
6. le conditionnel
The conditional endings are the same as for
the imperfect:
ais/ais/ait/ions/iez/aient
SO PAY ATTENTION: ils parlaient is the
imperfect referring to the past but ils
parleraient is not the past!
7. le conditionnel
The conditional is not a tense. Tense has to do with
when something happens.
It is a mood, like the indicative, the imperative, and
the subjunctive. Mood has to do with feeling or
attitude.
The conditional is used for hypotheticals or
modals--we express this as “would” in English, as
in “If I were rich, I would have a nicer car.”
8. le conditionnel
We use the conditional:
to be polite: “Je voudrais un verre de vin, s’il
vous plaît.”
to say what we would do/express a
hypothetical: “Si j’avais un million de
dollars, j’habiterais un apartment près de la
plage.”
9. quand, si, etc.
