Bonne leçon madame . Can you plz make a lesson on adjectives -where to place them (before or after noun) and how to accord them to qualify number and gender. I don’t understand this topic till date and also how to make noun out of adjectives and adverbs out of adjectives etc . Very thankful for this video btw.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

I have a little playlist about adjectives, you should check it out, it will answer all your questions 🙂

Bonjour Dylane et comment allez vous! Merci beaucoup pour votre Lesson.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Ça va très bien et vous ?

[@ramone2720]

Thank you for the lesson, Dylane. It's very similar to the way we say the time in Spanish. We replace the word 'time' by the word 'hora'.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Every time I read your comments, it reminds me that I should start learning Spanish soon!

[@ramone2720]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane I think it would be easy for you. Spanish and French have thousands of words whose written form are the same or very similar. The main difference is the pronunciation, but I consider the pronunciation of Spanish is by far easier than French. However, French is a language more beautiful and melodic than Spanish.

[@vanillachimu]

[@bitofmyownflesh]

The second option in case of 5:45 is actually quite familiar to Bangla speakers. In Bangla, if it is 5:45, we either say 'poune chhata' or 'chhata baajte ponero' (both meaning 15 minutes to 6).

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

That's very interesting, thank you for sharing ☺️

[@queenvarshty9331]

How do you differenciate the morning time n the other times of the day

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

We have 24 hours so up to 12 it's the morning, from 12 to 24 it's afternoon and evening :)

[@adriennejones2992]

I noticed you pronounced the "T" in vingt. Are there times when you pronounce - with time? Merci en avance! :)

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Adrienne that's because where I grew up we pronounce it :D Both pronunciations are fine. But if you don't pronounce the T in vingt alone, remember to pronounce it when there is a liaison :)

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Agree!

[@markkennedy9767]

Hi, why does demie have to match the gender of heure yet quart stubbornly stays masculine (le quart) ignoring the feminine heure.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Quart is a noun, while demi is an adjective :)

[@markkennedy9767]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thanks that's what I suspected. So it's "une heure et demie" where the adjective demie matches the gender of heure. And it's "une heure moins le quart" where quart is a masculine noun. Now!...what about "une heure et quart"?! Is quart still a noun here. It doesn't seem to be since quart doesn't have the definite article and "une heure et quart" is just the same phrase as "une heure et demie" except with quart instead. 🙂 So would quart be an adjective here? And if so is quart the feminine form of the adjective. And finally, "demi-heure": I understand that demi is used instead of demie when it is hyphenated before heure like this, but does that mean demi is no longer adjectival in demi-heure? That's the only way I could make sense of demie changing back to demi in the hyphenated form. I'd be interested in your comments. Thanks.
