Thank you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thankyou loved the video
Must you include music?
Merci 😂🎉 beaucoup monsieur
if I get more than a f-, which was my grade in my last test, ill subscribe
He teaches so well All your videos are so helpful Thank you
I jut realized I had een using this tense already unintentionally because I just thought that if avoir/etre in present tense is "I have" then in the imparfait it surely means "I had"
Your voice is calming
More videos pls❤❤
Another that is kinda relevant is the imparfait du subjonctif. You will never use it. However, it's sometimes used sarcastically, and some pretentious talking-head douchenozzles use it whenever they can. Francophones please correct if I was misinformed!
Oh god how😢
What the sigma
I have never wanted a video to end so soon (i HATE verbs)
This is incredible.
Exactement
Thank you so much, this really helps me a lot 🥰🥰
what about sentences with: à + ville qui commence avec un vowel
Merci beaucoup😊
I would love to continue, but relentless background music drives professional musicians crazy. I recommend producing more without the unnecessary music.
Je suis morte, mais mercy beaucoup
Merci! This is very helpful and your voice is calming. Please make more videos o(╥﹏╥)o
Regarding "I do eat," what do you call that tense in English?
Simple present tense
Thank you
That was very helpful
Tu es magnifique ❤
omg, it was so clear. I was struggling for a year. Thank youuuu!

Thanks oan
The music became distracting, then annoying, as I was moving back and forth in the video and trying to concentrate.
Thank you very much
Absolute clarity of explanation...this is the first time any of it has made sense to me. THANK YOU
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo. aujourd'hui j'ai appris plus que parfait

Thank you so much !! You really cleared the topic.
Merci beaucoup
Your voice is similar to the youtuber Patrick cc
Please upload more video you explain very well
Great video thank you
Excellent explanation. But too quick
Interesting to hear you talk about learning strategies. You said that you sometimes ask yourself if you can express any given thought you might happen to think in the French language. I did exactly the same thing today! I was in the supermarket and this thought occurred to me: Will I be able to fit of all of my shopping into my rucksack? Will I therefore be able to say to the cashier (if needed): Sorry, I don't have enough space in my rucksack? The answer was 'no' and so I wrote the sentence into DeepL, a website I use constantly, and here was its answer: Je n'ai pas assez de place dans mon sac de dos. It's the 'assez de place' part which I'm still struggling to remember!
Thank you! That's made this area of French grammar a lot clearer!

These are really helpful. Thank you. I'm Canadian and can "get by" in french but I'm working on improving my grasp of the language. I'm starting adult learning french classes in the autumn. There are six levels/semesters to get you to C1. I reviewed the syllabus and I already know everything in level 1, so I'm begining at level 2 in September. My final semester will be ending April 2026. All the best jobs here 🇨🇦 go to bilingual (B2-C2) applicants, even if they have less seniority/experience. I'm working hard to reach B2-C1 by the spring of 2026. I did one of those free online assessments and it says I'm at A2-B1 now. I've also been doing Duolingo and Rocket french for 6 weeks now. I didn't skip any Duolingo levels but I flew through the first 3 sections (there are 8 sections in total) in a month. It was pretty basic stuff. Now I'm half-way through section 4 "Trailblazer" and I have to slow down because it REALLY is new territory. Duolingo is fun, but I know I need more than that. Rocket french is excellent at explaining the grammar rules, which I REALLY appreciate. The exercises test your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. I'm looking forward to the in-person classes. I'll get to practice and the instructor can correct any errors. These courses touch on reading and writing but the emphasis will be on speaking and comprehension.
thank you so much. seriously. I'm in French 2 in college and struggling so much. The class is at your own pace and no lectures and online so it's hard to really get some practice or more explanation and this really helped clear a lot of things up for me. Now I'm going to check out the rest of your videos :) !Thanks ! 13 Reply @jeremykolodziej2472 2 years ago These videos are fantastic. I even showed them to my french tutor. Great work! 18 Reply @Itsme-sv8ny 1 year ago This is seriously the best explanation I've encountered up until this moment!

So good in fact that I think I am going to give your 'subjunctif' video a try! 144 Reply 3 replies @joanmackie1735 9 months ago Very well explained. This is exactly how the teacher explained the order of French pronouns to my class of 11 year olds, back in 1955, in England. We were told to think of the table as a hockey or football team, with five forwards, three mid-fielders, two backs, and a goalie, leaving “en” standing behind the goal (he was a photographer, or the referee, I think). We learned to recite “me te se nous vous before le la les, before lui leur, before y, before en, before the verb” and it stuck! My love of French started that year, and eventually led to a degree, a career teaching French (including to native speakers), and retirement in a beautiful medieval village with a vew of the Mediterranean. I still think of my first French teacher with gratitude. 10 Reply 2 replies @sandeepstar 1 year ago Awesome video, I've been learning French on my own with Duolingo and CZcams videos for a few months now and this clears up so much for me, I am going to binge watch all of your videos. 12 Reply 1 reply @EstherEshiet 1 year ago This is the most simplified and understandable video that I have watched on this topic!!! Thank you so much!!! 1 Reply @johnjones6601 5 months ago Amazing !! Never found a video that explains so clearly and so simply the function of pronouns and the difference between indirect and direct object examples. Many thanks ! 1 Reply @gannagamal7616 1 year ago This is the first time I watch one of ur video and I'm amazed thank you so much you deserve a lot more recognition! 2 Reply @1435royer 1 month ago I can't believe I finally found this site. You've explained some concepts so thoroughly and in a way I can understand it! Merci! Reply @jaynemarcia7660 7 months ago I thought you were quite clear and you take the time to set it up in an organized and understandable way. So, thank you for your patience. Reply @codm7994 1 year ago (edited) Tomorrow mt french exam my brain it's 11:30pm 9 Reply @greyhaireddoit6199 1 year ago (edited) I found it helped to consider the common prepositions used by the most common verbs (parler: à, de, avec, or just le/la) and the diffetent use-cases (à vs avec, y vs lui...) and how they differ from English.... even though slang French (joual, argot...) often mis-uses them anyway. Better to master a few verbs (and the common tenses) then add to them as opposed to going nuts on the overall grammar programme. Having said that, for someone prepping for a French grammar test, the video is great.
