um..so, the basics:Bonjour-good day
Salut- hello, goodbye
Au Revoir- goodbye
Âllo?- hello? (for the phone only)
Á demain- see you tomorrow
Á bientôt- see you later
omg, there's so much.um..i'll teach you how to conjugate a verb.
there are 3 types of verbs: er, ir, and re
to conjugate an er verb, you must have people.
Singular
je-I
tu-you
il-he
elle-she
----------------
Plural
nous-we
vous-you
ils- they(masculine)
elles-they(feminine)
to conjugate an er verb, you chop of the er and are left with the stem. aimer- to like ----> aim
j'aim
tu aim
il aim
ell aim
---------
nous aim
vous aim
ils aim
elles aim
Sry im late. Was getting braces. Ill write all this down.
kkby the way, whenever a verb starts with a vowel, you drop the e in je
now, all the subject pronouns's verb gets different endings.
j'aim e
tu aim es
il aim e
elle aim e
----------
nous aim ons
vous aim ez
ils aim ent
elles aim ent
Wait. How did u get all those endings. Im confused.
it's just the way that the language works. each er verb gets it's own ending: e, es, e, ons, ez, ent
Got it. So is that all for today?
Ok. I needa ask a HUGE favor. Ok im taking french in school. Well NEVER had it before. But the class is taught in french. Technically im supposed to be able to catch up via some tutoring but I cant even understand the BEGINNERS textbook. Help!

Idk some thin paper thing that is barely even a textbook. Its the beginners one which is two grades behind where I should be. Everyone else is out of the book. I have no clue how im gonna catch up. I am so dead.
