French Direct Object & Direct Object Pronouns (cod) // French Grammar Course // Lesson 31 🇫🇷

[@theyoganestsuffolk]

The first time I got to the end of this video I still didn't understand a whole lot of what you'd spoken about, Direct Objects, Direct object pronouns seem to get over complicated in my brain and it becomes fuzzy but after a couple of months of studying and exercises I came back to this lesson as part of the grammar course and it makes much more sense. It helps to know that even if something doesn't make sense, with time and patience it will hopefully fall into place. It's great to be able to come back and redo lessons and/or go back on the books to recap

[@devendra1956]

Bonsoir Madame. Another excellent lesson from you with full description. You make it easy to easier. That's your unmatched talent Madame. Merci est Vou.

I didn't understand the red cap part but everything else I understood very well merci

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Pas de quoi :)

[@GrahamCLester]

I noticed that "je ne la regarde pas" is different from "je ne l'ai pas vu" because in one "pas" comes after the verb (regarde pas) but in the other "pas" comes before the verb (pas vu). Are both acceptable? This is from 7.00 to 7.40.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Graham in this case you need to look at the conjugation first. Je ne la regarde pas = present tense - here the conjugation is around the verb Je ne l'ai pas vu = passé composé - because it's a compound tense, the negation is around the auxiliary. I hope it helps :)

[@GrahamCLester]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thank you very much. Of course, they are different tenses and I should have noticed that but I didn't. 😬

[@stewartlloyd2648]

Dylane, I have studied French for many years now and not sure if now is the time in the course to ask this question or not (as we have not yet studied all the tenses like Plus-que parfait, past conditional, future interior, etc) but I have never received what I consider to be a satisfactory answer to "why is there agreement on a verb in the past tense (and only in the past tense, not present or future) with gender and number of the COD" ? Basically we are making the verb have "gender/plularity" but why ? And why only for past tenses ? What would we loose if we did not make the verb agree ? I think most learners of French who speak English natively, eventually get our heads around the fact that nouns have gender, but why also for verbs in the past tense with COD's ? I understand if you want to leave this topic to later in the course - thanks in advance

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

I have to admit that I am not 100% sure why the past participle becomes feminine, but it's not only for passé composé. That's usually the one we talk about because it's the most used compound tense but other ones follow the same rules. Plus-que-parfait, futur antérieur, conditionnel passé, etc. So it can be in any tense, as long as it's a compound tense ;)

I have a question, are the additional "e" or "es" or "s" only for the past tense?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

No, it's for all the past participle of compound tenses :)But the most common ones are the past tenses ones :)

[@shaynefrancesocay]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Oh i see, thank you so much! So far for compound tenses, I've only learned about the past tense, so it's good to know this early on for the upcoming tenses that i am about to learn :) P.S. since you replied, i cannot hide my fangirling any longer (lol) and i am going to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely. My professor this semester is very strict and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to you! You made learning French easier and more fun :)

[@infxnity4198]

thanks for the lesson, one question - if i want to say "i saw you" with "vous", but "vous" is only referring to one male person (to be respectful), should i use "je vous ai vu" or "je vous ai vus"? thanks

Does the DOP also replaces an adjective if there is one with the direct object?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

If the adjective is in the DOP yes :)

[@nihankutlubay7144]

Merci beaucoup pour leçon❤ l've a question. Why " je l'ai commandée" but not "je l'ai commandé"? Isn't this "e-s" issue a must for the "être auxliary in passé composé"? Thank you 🙏

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

The L' represents a feminine direct object so the past participle agrees :) It should be explained in this video

I'm having problem in negation sentence construction with cod and coi. I feel confused and it always takes some time for my brain to construct the whole sentence in a conversation. Any tips or technique to share?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Let's look at a sentence: Je ne le lui donne pas. Keep the verb and COD COI together, and keep the negation away. Think of the negation as the most important message so keep ne as the first thing to say, pas as a way to wrap up the sentence.

[@kinkilye5330]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane daccord et merci beaucoup Dylane!

[@Cplusplus745]

A doubt dylana kindly reply when you can. At 7:40 why is it not : Non je ne l'ai vu pas as in "je ne la regarde pas" ? Why are we enclosing only avoir and leaving vu out? Amazingggggggggggggggg lecon btw :)

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

With passé composé "pas" goes between the auxiliary and the past participle :)

[@thenakedsingularity]

Teacher, I have a question, see the following two sentences: 1. Elle les aimait beaucoup, mais comme il n'y avait pas assez de nourriture pour qu'ils puissent tous manger à leur faim, elle les a envoyé tenter leur chance dans le vaste monde. 2. Comme le petit cochon avait dit "s'il vous plaît", le fermier lui a donné la paille, et le petit cochon l'a utilisée pour construire une belle maison. In the first sentence, we see " elle les a envoyé ...", this is a passe compose form with a dop, why didn't it agree in number with the pronoun? Why not "elle les a envoyés ..."? In the 2nd sentence, we see " le petit cocho l'a utilisée ...", that agrees in gender with the pronoun la it is using in this case, that makes sense. But why the difference between the two cases? What's different? Thank you!

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Yan in the first sentence it should also agree in gender and number ;) Elle les a envoyé(e)s :)

[@thenakedsingularity]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane I think it might be because the first sentence is causative. maybe?
