The first time I got to the end of this video I still didn't understand a whole lot of what you'd spoken about, Direct Objects, Direct object pronouns seem to get over complicated in my brain and it becomes fuzzy but after a couple of months of studying and exercises I came back to this lesson as part of the grammar course and it makes much more sense. It helps to know that even if something doesn't make sense, with time and patience it will hopefully fall into place. It's great to be able to come back and redo lessons and/or go back on the books to recap

Bonsoir Madame. Another excellent lesson from you with full description. You make it easy to easier. That's your unmatched talent Madame. Merci est Vou.
I noticed that "je ne la regarde pas" is different from "je ne l'ai pas vu" because in one "pas" comes after the verb (regarde pas) but in the other "pas" comes before the verb (pas vu). Are both acceptable? This is from 7.00 to 7.40.
Graham in this case you need to look at the conjugation first. Je ne la regarde pas = present tense - here the conjugation is around the verb Je ne l'ai pas vu = passé composé - because it's a compound tense, the negation is around the auxiliary. I hope it helps :)
Dylane, I have studied French for many years now and not sure if now is the time in the course to ask this question or not (as we have not yet studied all the tenses like Plus-que parfait, past conditional, future interior, etc) but I have never received what I consider to be a satisfactory answer to "why is there agreement on a verb in the past tense (and only in the past tense, not present or future) with gender and number of the COD" ? Basically we are making the verb have "gender/plularity" but why ? And why only for past tenses ? What would we loose if we did not make the verb agree ? I think most learners of French who speak English natively, eventually get our heads around the fact that nouns have gender, but why also for verbs in the past tense with COD's ? I understand if you want to leave this topic to later in the course - thanks in advance
I have to admit that I am not 100% sure why the past participle becomes feminine, but it's not only for passé composé. That's usually the one we talk about because it's the most used compound tense but other ones follow the same rules. Plus-que-parfait, futur antérieur, conditionnel passé, etc. So it can be in any tense, as long as it's a compound tense ;)
Je lis un livre. Je lis quoi? Un livre. J'aime Jack. J'aime qui? Jack. Yes, your channel is excellent. It will certainly helping us to learn French. Merci beaucoup. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
j'adore tes videos madame, tu es tres bon, je suis de l'inde et ici il n'y a pas bon professeurs pour francais mais tu m'aide beaucoup, merci beacoup et il est my dream etudier le francais fully,
Thank you so much for your help on this - your video really clarified it for me! I cannot access your free lesson PDFs for this or other lessons - have they been moved?
thanks for the lesson, one question - if i want to say "i saw you" with "vous", but "vous" is only referring to one male person (to be respectful), should i use "je vous ai vu" or "je vous ai vus"? thanks
I have a question: where should I put "le" in this situation: "Je l'ai pu avoir", or "J'ai pu l'avoir"? | "Vous l'avez dû faire", or "Vous avez dû le faire"?
A doubt dylana kindly reply when you can. At 7:40 why is it not : Non je ne l'ai vu pas as in "je ne la regarde pas" ? Why are we enclosing only avoir and leaving vu out? Amazingggggggggggggggg lecon btw :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Oh i see, thank you so much! So far for compound tenses, I've only learned about the past tense, so it's good to know this early on for the upcoming tenses that i am about to learn :) P.S. since you replied, i cannot hide my fangirling any longer (lol) and i am going to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely. My professor this semester is very strict and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to you! You made learning French easier and more fun :)
Merci beaucoup pour leçon❤ l've a question. Why " je l'ai commandée" but not "je l'ai commandé"? Isn't this "e-s" issue a must for the "être auxliary in passé composé"? Thank you 🙏
I'm having problem in negation sentence construction with cod and coi. I feel confused and it always takes some time for my brain to construct the whole sentence in a conversation. Any tips or technique to share?
Let's look at a sentence: Je ne le lui donne pas. Keep the verb and COD COI together, and keep the negation away. Think of the negation as the most important message so keep ne as the first thing to say, pas as a way to wrap up the sentence.
Bonjour! Dans le livre de ce leçon de l’exercice 4.4.8, je pense que la phrase a déjà montré la réponse. Donc je veux vérifier à nouveau de cela,merci.
Yes it can be as well. I answered with nous when the question was with vous but I should have specified it in the exercise. I wrote down a note to change it for version number 2. I hope you like the book and thank you for supporting my work
Teacher, I have a question, see the following two sentences: 1. Elle les aimait beaucoup, mais comme il n'y avait pas assez de nourriture pour qu'ils puissent tous manger à leur faim, elle les a envoyé tenter leur chance dans le vaste monde. 2. Comme le petit cochon avait dit "s'il vous plaît", le fermier lui a donné la paille, et le petit cochon l'a utilisée pour construire une belle maison. In the first sentence, we see " elle les a envoyé ...", this is a passe compose form with a dop, why didn't it agree in number with the pronoun? Why not "elle les a envoyés ..."? In the 2nd sentence, we see " le petit cocho l'a utilisée ...", that agrees in gender with the pronoun la it is using in this case, that makes sense. But why the difference between the two cases? What's different? Thank you!
