Bonjour Dylane et comment allez vous! C’est une belle vidéo de Dylane pour apprendre le Français mais Dylane est belle. Merci beaucoup pour votre belle presentation.
Merci beaucoup ☺️
Wonderful teacher and always many thanks for your hard work and dedication. I've heard French football commentators say "il est très tres mal" is it correct to say 'Il est très mal' since that borders on a selective opinion in this context rather than a description of how bad or hurt a player is. I understand that the statement could be interpreted differently but is is correct or would you'd rather say; "c'est très mal" in that situation.
Dylane, thank you very much once again.
That doesn't seem like good grammar to me but it could just be out of context. Are you sure they weren't saying "Il a très mal"? (He is very hurt / in pain)
Is there any practice sheet for this? Thanks for the explanation, it was easy and simple to grasp.
Not yet :(
Super dear Dylane
Merci Asad 🙂
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Je vous en prie !
Would you please do more grammar lessons videos???🙏🏻
I make grammar videos every Monday for now 😉
Hi dylane thanks for answering the previous queries. I have one question with the use of c'est. ''C’est Françoise qui a trouvé la solution.'' in this sentence please explain why they have used c'est and not c'était as it is past tense.
Because in the same sentence, we often use Present and Passé composé. To use C'était it would be: C'était Françoise qui avait trouvé la solution. Imparfait and Plus-que-parfait :) I hope it helps
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane merci beaucoup. All clear🙏
How does one say, "he is a child" in French? "C'est un enfant", " Il est enfant" or "Il est un enfant"
YOU ARE THE BEST ❤!
C'est un enfant, il est enfant but not Il est un enfant :) I know it's confusing 😉
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
Thank you for your response.
I guess with a neutral pronoun like ça, it is necessary to use un or une to signify the gender. Not to be used, when the pronoun isn't neutral, with the verb " être". Am I right?
Which is common, "C'est un enfant" or "Il est enfant"?
And Why "Elle est une femme au foyer" and not "Elle est femme au foyer "?
Very helpful video, Dylane. Wanted to alert you that in the PDF C'est un jolie fleur - It's a pretty flower--should be C'est une jolie fleur. It's correct in the video but not in the pdf.
Thank you, I will change it :)
One question, in c"est un avacot , we carried sound of n with avacot as nabacot although pronounced with c"est un like cetan, hope you got my question
Oui, we say : C'est Tun Navocat
If that makes sense 😉
You can say it very neatly,I pray for y🥰u...
Thank you 😍
I always hit like first before start watching your video.
You're the best! Thank you for your support ☺️
MY teacher, nice to see you again merci for new lesson....
Je t'en prie Jasmin 🙂
Merci pour votre vidéo 🙏🏻 c’est très bien
Merci beaucoup Stephanie 🙂
Thank you, Dylane! Wonderful as always!
You do a great job of explaining the capital letter in nationalities.
I think I noticed one problem with the printed text and it's only a small point to make: "C'est un Canadien" is correctly translated as "He is a Canadian". But "Il est canadien." (adjectif) is the same thing in English : "He is (adjective >)Canadian." NOT: "He is A Canadian." You speak it correctly on the video but the text on the screen contains this minor error. This is meant to be helpful and not to criticize. Bonne Noël 🎅
Thank you for the correction 🙂
Joyeux Noël et bonnes fêtes à toi aussi 🎄
Hi Dylane, thankyou for your lessons
I am bit confused between
Il est un garçon
Or
c'est un garçon
Which is correct ?
C'est un garçon 😉
Thank you Dylane🙏
For "IL eat' will it be applicable for only masculine gender or its for both in this case? Or for "She is a Canadian" will be "Elle est canadienne"?
Il mange, only masculine. and yes :)
What is shes a good mechanic in French? Or we can’t add it to the sentence like he is a good mechanic? Love this video ☺️☺️☺️
Elle est une bonne mécanicienne? I hope I answered your question ;)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane thank you for clearing it for me !! so does it mean that this sentence (c'est un bon mécanicien) is wrong ? Please let me know 🤍
No but the one with c’est is better :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane thank you 🥰
Nice mam🤗🤗😃
Merci Ali 🙂
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane how are you mam after long time .i hope you know
J’ai tellement de problems avec c’est et il est. Which is correct for he is a teacher: il est professeur or c’est un Professeur. Also for it is late: il est tard or c’est tard. Also it is good: c’est bon or c’est bien. Merci beaucoup!
Il est professeur is better.
Il est tard / C'est tard, both are fine
C'est bon vs c'est bien, it really depends. I have a video about bien and bon, you should check it out, it would be very long to answer in a comment ;)
Why are we not using article in the case of il est ??
That's just one of the rules. There are no specific reasons :/
Hi,
Can you explain why the expression "reading is difficult" or "Il/c'est difficile de lire" can take either "il" or "ce" here, given the general rule that "il" is usually used with adjectives and "ce" with nouns.
In the same vein, can you explain why the expression "it's difficult to read" or "c'est difficile a lire" seems to only take "ce" and not "il", given the general rule that "il" is used with adjectives and "ce" with nouns.
Also, can you explain why it is "ce n'est pas loin, c'est au bout de la rue" when the general rule with prepositions of place is to use "il".
Thank you.
Mark yes they can be with il est or c'est. I think you try to translate too much word by word between French and English :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
Hi, thanks for that.
No I'm just trying to follow the rules of French really.
So the general guideline that "ce" is used with nouns e.g. "c'est un homme" and "il/elle" is used with adjectives e.g. "il/elle est grand(e)" is thrown out the window here, it seems? 😝
And these examples in my previous post don't seem be following the use of "c'est" when making a general exclamation either e.g. "c'est beau!" etc.
They seem completely arbitrary and idiomatic. Unless you can tie them to another French grammar rule for "ce" and "il" in this case.
Dieu vous bénisse
🙌
qu'est-ce que l'exception dans les profession et les nationalité??...me semble bien!!
I like your videos generally but on this occasion, I am a bit confused. You said that "C'est" is used to offer an opinion, e.g. "C'est beau", and then "Il est" is used to describe something, rather than give an opinion. For the latter, the example given was "Il est beau". I can't see any distinction between the two, since they are both equally opinions and descriptions at the same time. Please could you, or someone who is confident that he/she understands this, explain this further.
What is meaning the world” bifle”..?? I read it somewhere
Where did you read that?? I really want to help you but I can not explain it 😕🔞
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane in a comic book for adult...why can u explain it?? Is it bad word??
@@davidk.5389 let’s say that it’s an adult only word, so not RUclips friendly :/
Ce n'est pas difficile pour moi même si j'apprends le français depuis cinq mois.
If i use c'est instead of il est. Is it totally wrong or its ok?
Let stay that it wouldn't be correct but people would understand you. It's a very common mistake among French learners and it takes time to master ;)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane marci
How do I get the pdf
That's the first link in the description
Okay thanks
C'est très dificile
J’ai entendu dire qu’on utilise plus « c’est » dans le français parlé et « il est, elle est, ce sont » dans le français écrit. Et aussi, on utilise c’est, même avec des trucs pluriels. Par exemple, on dit: c’est des fleurs au lieu de ce sont des fleurs dans le français parlé, même si c’est pas correct grammaticalement.
Alors oui et non. C'est certain qu'on utilise plus "c'est" que "il est" mais personnellement j'utilise toujours "ce sont" en cas de pluriel. Je pense que ça dépend aussi des régions et des pays où le français est parlé 🙂
The perfect French with Dylane une française qui est née à Lille m’a corrigé quand j’ai utilisé « ce sont » avec les pluriels, et m’a dit d’utiliser « c’est » à la place.
golongusa je n’ai pas dit que tu n’étais pas correct, je dis juste que personnellement j’utilise ce sont.
Mam adjective and pronoun and verb deffrence please learn basic
Check out my playlists on my RUclips channel. Everything is explained there :)
C'est tres difficile!
Dis-moi si je peux t'aider :)
No liaison in "C'est incroyable" ?
Optional
C’est vrais que c’est interdit d’utiliser noms determinative depuis de “elle est\il est” (c’est une personne bonne, pas elle est personne bonne), pars que les français voient que c’est presentation, pas catègorisation ? Ou a-t-il autre raison pour ça? Pardonnez-moi pour mes erreurs dans ma question)
Pas interdit mais incorrect 😉 Quand on a un article, c'est seulement après "C'est", pas après "Il est"
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane merci pour la rèponse, mais vous n'avez pas dit: pourquoi. Ma question etait pas comment utiliser, mais pourqoui. Vous ne savez pas le rèponse, pour quois les français utilisent pronoms de cette manière? J’ai donnè une hypothèse. C’est une hypothèse vraie ou fausse? Comment pensez-vous? Merci pour la reponse dans advance)
can we say "elle est canadienne"?
Yes :)
Can we say: il est mon frére or Elle est ma sœur?
C'est mieux de dire c'est mon frère - c'est ma sœur :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane d'accord. J'ai compris. Merci beaucoup.
ur teaching way is more beautiful than u r
okkkkkk
Tes yeux sont à tomber par terre.
So, saying 'Elle est Canadienne' is wrong !
Where did you see that in the video?
I did not, but I understood with Elle..should be 'Cést une Canadienne'.
J'adore cette leçon 🦋
Merci beaucoup 😉
