The document discusses the formation and uses of the perfect tense in French. It can be used to describe a past event. The perfect tense is formed with an auxiliary verb (mostly avoir) and a past participle. For regular verbs, the past participle endings change based on the verb ending. There are also many irregular past participles. Some verbs use être as the auxiliary, including reflexive verbs and MRS VANDERTRAMP verbs where subject-verb agreements on gender and number apply. When a direct object precedes the verb, agreements may also apply to the past participle.
Possessive adjectives indicate ownership or belonging and change form depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, singular, or plural. They include my, your, his/her, our, your, and their. Examples show how the possessive adjectives change before masculine and feminine nouns in the singular and plural, as well as how mon, ton, and son are used before feminine nouns starting with a vowel or silent h.
The document discusses the imperative form in French. The imperative is used to give orders and make suggestions. To form the imperative, leave out the subject pronouns "tu" and "vous" and, for "er" verbs, leave off the "s" in the "tu" form. There are exceptions for the verbs "avoir," "être," and "vouloir." To express a negative command, use "ne...pas" around the verb.
Adverbs are words that describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They can describe how, where, when, or to what extent something happens. In English, most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective. In French, adverbs are usually formed by adding -ment to the masculine singular form of an adjective if it ends in a vowel, or to the feminine singular form if it ends in a consonant. There are some irregular adverbs like très, assez, and trop. The position of adverbs varies, but they usually follow verbs or come before other adjectives and adverbs.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. In French, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. Most adjectives add -e for feminine and -s for plural, but there are exceptions. The position of adjectives can also change their meaning - most adjectives follow the noun but some like "grand" mean different things before or after. Agreement rules must be followed when using multiple adjectives.
This document summarizes the different types of articles in French - definite articles, indefinite articles, and partitive articles. It provides examples of how each type of article is used and notes exceptions where articles may be omitted. It also discusses gender of nouns and plural forms in French. The key types of articles are defined as: definite articles refer to specific nouns, indefinite articles refer to any noun, and partitive articles refer to a part or quantity of a noun. Examples are given for the forms of each article depending on the gender and number of the noun.
