Être & Avoir (French Essentials Lesson 10)

Bonjour Bienvenue learn French with Alex on this is the last lesson of my series they told French sensual vol.1 I came I hope you enjoyed it and learned a lot I would like to finish with a grammatical point this time which is a crucial point in French and will help you a lot in your language learning and speaking now today folks I would like to teach you of how to conjugate the verbs to be and to have in the present tense okay you may want to tell me but what is conjugated and why is it so important and why am i choosing to be and to have as my first verbs well because knowing how to conjugate the verb to be and to have in the present tense will also help you speak in the past tense I came WeHo these two verbs auxiliaries auxilia I came they are the yeast to the bread the missing link to the past tense well you get the idea without these two verbs you won't be able to make yourself understood fully and most of all you will be forever limited to what you have to say or what you say in French okay so what I would like to do it start by the auxiliary verb to have okay now remember knowing how to say to have in the present tense is crucial in to speaking in the past tense well to have in French ease of work of work can you say that well done have well of course I'm presenting it to you needs infinitive form okay of well as in a for example it has not been conjugated yet okay avoir we have not used it with any subject pronouns by the way subject pronoun refer back to one of my lessons on subject pronounce and you'll understand what I mean when you start conjugating this verb you will see it will change depending on the subject pronoun we use okay in English to have is not changing much when conjugating is in I have is still the same as three have you have the only thing that 10-sheet changes in English is he has so you drum the ve and you add an S instead of the M okay so it's quite easy in English to conjugate a verb such as they have I came but it is not in French I came let's have a look at how we say I have you have and remember that the order of the subject pronounce is always the same we have learned this before in my section titled subject pronoun okay Li pona sous chef Lee suji porno okay how do you say I have in French I have in French is Jay can you say that well done you have to ah-choo ah very good he has L up L ah she has L L we have as in on the singular form una allah phobia we have as in the pre-roll form and a more formal way of saying we knew Sivan no Zevon and I do deserve the lism here because Evan begins with a vowel news even now you as in the second way of saying you the more formal way and when we talk to a group of more than one person Mousavi vu Zev a phobia and last how do we say they have as you know we have two ways of saying then it's either ill with an S or L with an F Ness l zu o NT or LLL zone or empty and notice that I did this sound because L begins ends with an S and begins and on begins with the AH a vowel get me okay well done so what do you notice I notice that they don't necessarily follow a pattern and they should definitely be learned by heart and in this order as you will notice they are split into singular and plural group but like I have explained in one of my other section titled subject pronounce just like we learned them at school in France I came from j2 l singular subject pronounced to new to in the plural subject pronouns okay let's repeat them again with me how to say I have you have and so on J - ah in AH and AH una new servo Mousavi ilysm and zone IBM right now can you tell me what this means J Asha J Asha okay it means I have a cat okay because we've just learned that J means I have so if you don't know sha is cat in French and this one news even sir news even tois sir what do you think that means hmm it means we have three sisters sir is a sister we have three sisters news even twice sir can you translate this one for me and AH leash of the broom okay I know you understand L R because we've just learnt it and below because it means blonde and shove her hair so she has blonde hair okay but well done keep practicing anyway let's play a game together look at the screen and tell me what does news evil mean that's right it means we have how about L zone they have the feminine version of them how about J I have okay Mousavi you have I came and what about this sentence in ah uh petechia l are a pretty sure he has a little dog well done so can you now translate she has infringed that's right it's L ah very good what about we have uh-huh it's news evil how about you have yeah it's two or Mousavi depending on who you talk to okay and which you you decide to use and how about we have a green car can you translate that it becomes very tricky now we have is news ever okay we know that we've learnt that you know what you are left now what you risk are unfair this green a green car literally means a car green in French okay in for Joe van sir I know it is hard to remember them all now but it comes with practice remember knowing them means that you will be able to express yourself in the past tense and in and the easier it is to make yourself understood the more confident you become and the more confident you are the more you speak French and so on it's a vicious circle really okay okay let's now look at to be at in its infinitive version at okay that means to be but let's conjugate it in the present tense like I said early on to be is it infinitive version we have not yet compute conjugate conjugate little look conjugated it what was that okay so here we go following the same order as the subject poem okay sure to ll nuvvu ll it goes like this just three I am can you say that more than G a that means you are ill a he is very good la she is excellent only okay that means we are or one is a Newsome that means we are very good who's that that means you are okay in some they are masculine Ellison they are feminine again there is not much of pattern here is there okay Etra does not look like you're sweet to air or la okay we don't set your advert you add for ill at work okay so you've got to learn them by heart I'm afraid and remember if you don't then you'll be very limited to what you say in French and how you speak in French okay so it takes a bit of practice and effort I'm afraid let's repeat them again have a look at the screen just three to a in a ma only Newsom Mewsette in some L so we're done okay let's translate I am in French that's just sweet very good how about she is L a very good how about you are uh-huh it's either to a or Lisette okay and how would you say I am small okay sure sweet but II just we put a petite if you are a girl how would you say we are happy new some cotton content happy okay here's another game translate this sentence la canto Pascal are a new voice still oh okay you're going to tell me I'm not ready for this kind of sentence but I'm telling you you are okay in a means he hears we've learned that contour not hard contour content happy path soccer might be a bit tricky well I'm telling you that path secure means because ill ah that's easy we've just learned this one he has a new for steelo now uh if you follow my essentials for one you will know that I means a Nouveau new still Oh pen so translate ill a Putin Pascal uh a Nouveau still oh he's happy because he has a new pen ah nice one okay what I would like you to do now is have a look at this one here this is the list of the verb to have in the present tense can you see anything missing question mark question mark that's right you're missing new Zevon which is we have and here's another one another list of to have can you see anything missing that's right eel zoom as in they have masculine well done have a look now at this one which is the to be version present tense okay that's right we are missing just sweet I am just sweet and here's another one yes we are missing new some we are new some ok what I'd like you to do because it's I mean it's it's quite hard to grasp it just in one go like that in 10 minutes I would like you to have a look on paper what they look like okay and remember me remember me saying learn them by heart because you will thank me in a long term they will become very important when conjugating in the past tense in French okay they are auxiliary verbs and they are called auxiliaries for a reason okay I think that's it for me for today I'm going to leave it as that and I hope you enjoyed this series as much as enjoyed teaching you that's it for me oh well Monsieur au
