If you’re familiar with my channel, this certainly won’t be the first time you’ve heard me say this, but it’s worth repeating: spoken French is very, very different from written French. If you’re struggling to speak and/or understand everyday French even though you studied it for years or even decades, it’s likely because you’ve been focusing on the wrong things.
Improving your French fluency means learning about the unwritten rules surrounding spoken French, and that includes French grammar. In today’s compilation video, we’ll revisit some of my most popular videos to bring you some shortcuts you can use to master your spoken French grammar.

Important refresher!

They definitely didn't teach about the prevalence of "on" instead of "nous" in high school, but that was 20 years ago. Also, I seem to remember lots of the imperfect instead of the past simple in common parlance.

[@DivineMissEsse]

I came here to say the same! They taught us “nous” in school. So when do we use nous? Or do we not use it at all?

Salut Géraldine, Another great summary of tips. One more tip for you. At 17:03 you say 'get uzed to' - pronouncing the 's' as a 'z'.
When talking about things you 'used' to do in the PAST or becoming 'used' to something (because you have repeated PAST exposure to it), the 's' is pronounced as in 'passé' - think of it as 'youst'.
Items that have been made use of for some purpose are considered 'uzed' (with the 's' taking on a 'z' sound as in 'valise', eg: a used car or a used up tube of toothpaste.
As I benefit a huge amount from your French, I thought you might appreciate little tips to polish your already excellent English.💙💙

I didn’t know the past participle needs to correspond with the subject pronoun. I only thought the auxiliary was conjugated and the past participle stayed the same across subject pronouns 🤯

[@bryonagolding1693]

It's required for verbs where the auxiliary verb is être instead of avoir.
