[@Faineant]

These lessons are super cool. You could make more of them. For example, how to say in French "Had it not been for him, I would have not succeeded in passing the exam" , "If it were not for him, I would not be where I am now"or "He might not have known the answer" etc.

Cher Prof: Vous êtes un excellent professeur. Si vous pouviez faire des vidéos pour enseigner l'espagnol aux anglophones, ma femme pourrait apprendre l’espagnol avec vous. Merci beaucoup.

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Merci o gracias

[@m.h.j4075]

merci ,excellent 👏👏👏👏

[@viknaraj8609]

I have a doubt at 3:38 you could have bought the bread(past form) Tu aurais pu(future anterir)

[@Frenchspanishonline]

There is a lesson about that, could is not an auxiliary verb in French, just to have and to be

[@AndyRiot]

J'adore comment t'es clips sont "in-depth". Il y a tu une expression en français pour signifier "in depth."

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Andrioux en profondeur

[@AndyRiot]

Wow, si je m'améliore en français c'est grâce a vous, Pascale. Merci!

[@Ilhabelle]

Merci, c'est une bonne explication ❤

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Merci !

[@ErickG]

"Je me demandais si tu pourrais venir." Wow. On m'a toujours appris "jamais de R après SI" Merci de vos lumières. :0)

[@youssefmokadem5434]

Wow.

[@Frenchlearningtutorial]

c'est une bonne video :) In the sentence 'Je m' demandais si tu...demandais is the imparfait form , why are we using imparfait first then conditional ???

[@Frenchspanishonline]

se demander is to wonder, so it is I was wondering if + conditional

[@joecipriano1351]

You say that nager is an ability (uses savoir); isn't marcher also an ability (il pouvait marcher or il savait marcher?)

[@TrungDung-my5pz]

Joe Cipriano sorry I really don’t think that macher is an ability. Example : I need some one who can swim don’t say I need some one who can go to the maket

[@medsalah4754]

please could you give me a good book title to learn franch grammar

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Med salah have a look at www.frenchspanishonline.com/magazine/french-grammar/

[@timafakih2738]

So when we can use could as a conditional mood?

[@Frenchspanishonline]

well, for a conditional meaning!

[@paulsharpe4655]

Pascal, that's a bit confusing because to walk is also an ability that has to be learned, just like swimming. So I'm having a bit of trouble clearly distinguishing the contexts under which savoir or pouvoir would be appropriate. Cheers, though, I always come here pour comprendre.

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Paul Sharpe sure, so i can walk is je sais marcher, it could be je peux marcher for example after an accident because you were not able to walk

[@innocentdutta211]

svp. est-ce que pourriez vous m'aider. ( à quelle heure se terminent tes cours. pourquoi on a mis ici se terminent)

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Innocent Dutta tes cours terminent

[@TheRyanator5000]

merci, mais pourquoi est-ce le "se" est necessaire?

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Ryan where?

[@TheRyanator5000]

in "il se pourrait que mon père..."

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Ryan the verb is: se pouvoir, il se peut means, it may be, il se pourrait means it could be

[@TheRyanator5000]

ahh ok, merci. j'aime tes videos :)

[@swapnilmodak6673]

bonjour pascal.Are these sentences correct?? 1) My friend is going to the beach "Mon ami va à la plage 2)His friend is walking in the park " son ami va dans le PARC 3)My brother is going to the swimming pool "Mon frère va à la piscine

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Swapnil Modak la plage, 2 se promène dans le parc, Parfait

[@swapnilmodak6673]

Thanks

[@swapnilmodak6673]

But since 'plage ' is feminine so we can use à la also??

[@Frenchspanishonline]

Of course

[@swapnilmodak6673]

Thanks a lot.

[@janeevans6614]

pascal how come pu doesn't come first in such as could have...you have could sounds strange...I know French is like this but whats your advice to remember this...I would never dream I have to say you have could of brought the bread

[@janeevans6614]

I understand now..i watched it again :)

[@Frenchspanishonline]

He he he super

[@sweetgirl9423]

beaucoup

[@theshard5697]

Vraiment, j'adore ces videos, mais il faut que tu prononces "this" mieux. Le "i" est comme en francais! :D

[@ErickG]

ça dépend du mot en fait. Le son change selon les lettre qui l'entourent. Concernant "this", je dirais pas que ça se prononce pas comme "thees". En anglais, si le "i" tombe à la fin d'un mot, vous pouvez tout à fait le prononcer comme "ee" tout comme le "i' français. "ski" se prononce "skee" par exemple.

[@theshard5697]

Sorry, I'll make a lot of mistakes if I write all of this in French. I hope it's fine. Yes, there are 2 kinds of "I" in English - short I (as in "this") or long I (like the one in "ski/these") but I think pronouncing both of them like a french "I" (even though it corresponds to the English long I) would be an improvement. Certainly there's no reason to pronounce it like "theis" (like he does) :D

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

je pense que si je savais pas le portugais il serait trop dificile pour moi comprendre le français.

[@hayat6669]

C' est complique

[@ntn1950]

a little too fast teacher !
