Thank you, Dylane! This is the 3rd video I've watched on the exact same topic, and I understood it the best here. You're a great teacher.
Thank you so much Angel
I have finished the first 16 exercises and 30 pages of the workbook and I learned a lot. I consider myself a low/mid intermediate french learner and I thought I knew a lot but I found out that in fact I knew very "little" when it comes to verb conjugation. I know that in the remaining 300 pages, I will definitely improve. I am not giving up!
Mundo, yesterday I had a little bit of a hard day, reading your comment really made my day better. Thank you 😍
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Dear Dylane: In balancing our lives, as long as your blessings out weight your bumps along the road, you come out ahead. You are a beautiful lady, intelligent and good family, I hope. In summation: you are truly blessed. Look at the glass half full, instead of the glass half empty. Best regards.
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Sorry for the unsolicited advise. I am too old and I have a large half-full glass.
Is there a wrong answer in Ex 1.17? Number 4= you are (formal) = answer should be vous êtes but YOUR answer given is vous avez (you have). Please check it. I may be wrong. I love your book!
Bonjour Madame.
This is very good for French learner's. Because I feel much comfortable when given with Angle.
Abientot.
Thank you! 😃
Ah this explains it well 😁 I look forward to doing the exercises and the next lesson 😆
Stephanie I filmed the lesson about the subjonctif with the superlative yesterday and I thought about you 😉
Awesome thank you so much 💖 amazing job💞💞💞💞💞
No problem 😊
hi Dylan, you are a really good teacher, I would love that if you make a course for french prepositions.
A bientot .
I will 🤩
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻are they gonna be included into the grammar course ?
4:21 AH!!!! Thank you! That's what I always thought.
Glad it helped :)
Thanks for your lessons. Do you have other Free print resources?
I have a lot of free PDF and even a free eBook (links in description). This book isn't free but I offer a payment plan of 5 times $5 if needed. I hope it helps 😉
Thank you so much. a plus
De rien :)
That was so helpful but.....is there an easy way of working out which verbs use "à" and which use "de' or do we just have to memories them? Merci encore!!
I realized now that I said that on the newsletter but not on the video! My bad!
So no, there isn't really a rule but I always recommend to know the one that you use the most depending of the subjects you talk about and then the other ones will come 😉
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane no problème ! I read the newsletter after I asked the question. I will have to do it the hard way! 😂
Hi, Ms. Dylane, Thank you for your teaching and videos!
I have some ideas regarding the uses of "à" and "de": the infinitive after "à" conveys the action that results from the verb before "à", or I could say it is the "why" one does it; the infinitive after "de" conveys the "content" of the verb before, or I could say it is the "what". Do you think they make sense?
It's not a bad way to see it but I don't think it works for all the verbs tho :/
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thanks again!
merci
De rien :)
Thanks for your lesson! I have a question. Can I use continuer with the preposition de? Sometimes I have seen it like that.
For example:
Elle continue d’aimer
Ils continuent de travailler tous les jours
And in Francis' song Partis pour rester: Mais l’horloge ... peut continuer de tourne.
Yes it's used with de most of the time, sometimes with à ;)
Merci beaucoup madame 🌹🌷🌺
De rien :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane 🌹🌷🌺
Great Video:)
but i have a question, why do some infinitives have prepositions in front of them even when there is no verb before it. for example:
plutôt que d'essayer d'apprendre ces règles par coeur…
why is it d’essayer and not just essayer
Because plutôt que de has to be together, just like instead of 😉
Hi Dylane, Just a quick question. Is chapter 10 of the conjugation course similar to chapter 2 of the grammar course? I know usually you put "This is a review of grammar course etc." Are there any new topics covered in this or mostly similar? Thank you in advance:)
In the conjugation course, I focus on how prepositions affect the verb but in the grammar course there is also how it affects the nouns after. So a bit more :)
Hi Dylan! Why did you use ''j'aimais chanter'' as the past tense of aimer, instead of ''j'ai aimé''? I am a little bit confused.
J'aimais chanter is something that you did a lot, not only one time :)
à demainnnn!
À demain 👋
Plz Dylan how to one access your exercises
The link for the book is in the description, or just go to my website :)
Même si "de" et "à" appartiennent toujours au verbe précédent, il faut parfois toujours insérer "pour" avant l'infinitif. Votre livre a-t-il une liste COMPLÈTE des verbes qui prennent "de" et "à" ?
Oui mon livre contient les listes des verbes prenant à ou de :)
Is there any trick to knowing which verbs require á vs de?
Unfortunately no :/ I usually recommend learning by heart the ones you use the most in your native language :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane i've heard better news from my dentist.
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane do you have a video in French verbs when conjugated sound English?
Conjugation book
@6:26>>>The Verb+a+infinitive The Ex SENTENCE >> NOUS Invitons Les Voisons a' diner . WHERE IS THE INFINITIVE VERB IN THAT SENTENCE. ISNT diner or DINNER A NOUN ? a' diner
dîner is a verb and a noun. In this case it's a verb.
Pardon. Je ne comprends pas encore. En effet, vous presentez quelque examples, mais par contre, vous n'avez expliquez pas les regles.
Il n'y a pas de règles, il faut se les rappeler par cœur ;)
Hello
Bonjour :)
You said this video would explain 'When to add the prepositions DE, À, or NOTHING before an infinitive verb in French.' But you don't explain the rule that shows WHEN to do it - you just gave us examples of when it is done. Not very useful.
I thought I said it on the video? You have to know them by heart. I don't have time to watch it again, but I am pretty sure I said it.
