I am about to take my final exam for B1.1 level at CCFS (Sorbonne) in Paris. I have struggled all semester with these particular tenses. You have summed up with others couldn't. Thank you!
Studying for exams... My teacher has Explained this topic many times but I still find it hard.... I just learnt in here in 2 minutes.. Teaching is really a gift
So helpful! My French teacher speaks only French in class, which is great of course, but sometimes getting the explanation with examples helps me through my trouble spots. Thank you!
I am fairly good with French vocabulary, but I just cannot get the hang of the grammar, so let's see I started taking French Classes about three years ago, and I'm still learning it, I only had it for two semesters in college. That said, I try to study it for at least half an hour a day, sometimes more.
Cool, I just learnt more in a 12-minute video than I have in the last 6 weeks of french class. my french teacher now has his private chapter on my suicide note
YES! I'm all about these videos! I've just finished the series up to episode 51 where it's taken me a couple of weeks to watch and note down and alas rejoice as the series lives on! I blooming love this series
The easy way to explain is to say that for most verbs when putting them into conditional, you put them in infinitive form and add the endings. When the ending is re, you take away the e for the stem. In other words, the stem will almost always end in r. Marcher in conditional is je marcherais. There are only a few specific verbs that don't use their infinitive, my teacher gave me a worksheet such as pouvoir and more.
What are the list of the verbs of 3rd grp which is not written in its infinitive form in conditionnel. It was the case for envoyer right? What are the other similar verbs? Can you please mention them?
God bless you I'm in France and I know how it feels to be here with out knowing French it's like you are deaf and dump 😕 in hospital in offices (keep up the good work 😊,👌👍👍)
I have started my B1 past 1month ago but trust me I was always confused with how to write conditional and forgot the verbs conjugation but as always I found the video by you and you always make a magic syrup for us which really make things very easy. I believe without you I will struggle a lot. Merci Alexa :)
Thank you very much Alexa for this lesson.It was a little complicated but you explained it perfectly.It was so interesting. Thank you,I am so grateful to you
This analytic approach is absolutely necessary, of course. However, in real life, we must have the patterns 'built-in' to our brains. Walking up to topics such as described here produces a feeling of being overwhelmed. After I calmed down, I realized that this is just another (unexpected) field of pattern learning that I will conquor. As a native english speaker who reads some books in French, I realize that I'm often suffering comprehension by glossing over unfamilar conjugations. Onward! Thank you Alexa for a great presentation of, in your own admission, a difficult subject.
Alexa always does a great job but some of the comments saying that the conditional has an "r" before the ais/ait/ions/iez/aient endings while the imparfait does not, is OK as a general rule, but not always 100% true. You need to watch out for verbs like "mourir" because when you remove the "ir" stem the last letter is an "r" - so the imparfait is "je mourais" while the conditional is "je mourrais", so just seeing an "rais" ending does not guarantee a conditional
Merci beaucoup madame ! J'aime beaucoup votre tout les leçons et j'espère si quelqu'un il voulez apprendre français possible apprendre beaucoup chose par voir votre chaque épisode
Excellent, you added the English translation for each tense. This has caused me so much trouble in trying to learn French. Merci tu est tres intelligente. . If you could add a sample sentense, i would love it. :) k
So, basically, to make the conditionnel, we use the beginning of the future with the end of the imparfait (past). It makes sense, because the conditionnel is a possible consequence mixing the past and the future. Is that it?
Will there be a pronunciation difference between Je marcherais and Je marcherai? How do I tell if the person has used the Conditional or the Future Tense in that case?
Geez Alexa, Merci pour les expliques clairs, you have no idea how many videos i watched before getting to yours to finally understand conditionnel, and you explained it so simple. Comment je mémorise tout les conjugaisons. J'ai compris le leçon mais c'était simple quand j'étais faire le présent, maintenant il y a présent, futur, imparfait, subjonctif et conditionnel. Quoi vous me conseillez pour mémoriser bien "les temps"? ( I am trying to use more french than english, so if i made a mistake please correct me I would appreciate it. )
I'm a native portuguese speaker, and I know it is a difficult language, but french is even harder in some cases. Some things just don't make much sense, beggining by the strange pronunciation. I wish every language was as easy and simple as english. 😂
Actually, conditional is not called a "tense", rather a "mode", like indicative or subjunctive. "Conditionnel présent" for ex is a tense (je mangerais). There is also a "conditionnel passé" (j'aurais mangé). But the biggest difficulty, IMHO, is that if you want to say : If I were rich, I would buy a car, you should NOT say : Si je *serais riche, j'achèterais une voiture (*twice conditional present), rather : Si j'étais riche, j'achèterais une voiture (si + indicative imperfect, then only conditional present) Even French people sometimes make that mistake, but it's definitely better to avoid it.
Bonsoir Alexa. I have watched many of your videos about conjugaison of different tense, and I’m somehow quite confused by some of the key points.Is there possibly a recap video that combines all the major tense, conjugaison and their key points related for us to comprehensively understanding? For example, the similarity and difference between conditionnel and l’imparfait is really great since I suddenly understand the relationship between these two and the methodology behind their conjugaison, instead of just memorizing by heart. Merci bcp!
I'm confused about weather you use the conditional or the imparfait of pouvoir to translate for 'could', if i type it into Google it does imparfait, but for should, it does the conditional of must, so which is it, conditional or imparfait?
What tense does the main clause verb take?? E.g. "If I go to France [condition! but sounds like present indicative] I will use [intention! but sounds like simple future indicative] your lessons."
Hats off to all the french people .. but mostly to those whose first language isnt french and they still giving their best to learn this language
Les grammaires sont tre difficile. I'm gonna go grazy with these rules.
It's really not that hard with a bit of practice tho...!

Ok, you must be fluent by now.
This has surely been a great lesson. With this, I can never confuse conditionel for imparfait. Merci beaucoup professeur Alexa
Alexandre est la meilleure professeur français dans la monde. Avec Elle je peux parler français en juste 6 moins. Merci beacoup

I totally agree with you my private teacher is a very experiment one and have barely explained to me both! Frustrating!
I really can not thank you enough , you completely explain it from diffrent angles and makes it clear-cut for us. Thank you.
I just love how you explained this difficult part. Finally I can continue to more confusing grammar.
Alexa.... C'est incroyable.... Je suis très très content grâce aux tes cours.... Merci beaucoup

Great lesson Alexa. You make a tricky subject area simple and memorable- thank you. Do you have a similar lesson for the Subjunctive?
Thank you Brian for the kind words! 😃Here is our video on the subjunctive: ruclips.net/video/QvlGkutnVXE/видео.html

It makes sense, because the conditionnel is a possible consequence mixing the past and the future.
Is that it?
Better than my french teacher. You are Best in the planet.

I love you Alexa you are the best can't find any better teacher......
Merci beaucoup madame.😊😊
wow really its so nice lesson thank you god bless you
Merci beaucoup😊💃
in the future tense, marcherai, the' r; should also e in red, as part of the ending - for us learning, and because the r is critical here
You're a life saver thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Ma'am !
Thanks so much! I’ve just found the solution of my questions!
Vous êtes génial!!! Things become easy
Will there be a pronunciation difference between Je marcherais and Je marcherai? How do I tell if the person has used the Conditional or the Future Tense in that case?
Thank you very much. You helped me a lot 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Mille Mercis Alexa 🤗🙏🏻❤️🙋🏼♀️👍🏻✌🏻👏🏻
