Hello Dylane. I am going to complete the pronunciation course this week. Which course should I start next- conjugation course or grammer course?

I totally missed your comments yesterday! So Sorry! If you have a little bit of knowledge of grammar, start the conjugation, otherwise starts the grammar :)

Hi I have a question: If I want to answer the question: À qui sont les manteaux ? à Pierre et Pascal ? should i use ce sont à eux or ils sont à eux ? thx!

[@mikelocke3258]

Hi Dylane, I do not understand why " Il est fermier" but for a teacher, it is "c'est un professeur".

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Oh I see where you are confused. Professions can be used with IL EST and C"EST. But with C'EST we always have to add an article before the profession, not with IL EST. Il est fermier = C'est un fermier Il est professeur = C'est un professeur Does it make more sense?

[@mikelocke3258]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Merci, I now understand you can use either format with jobs. There was only one answer in the exercise for "he is a professeur" but on reading the notes more carefully I realised I could have used either formats and be right.

Hello, if i said “ Il y a une cáthedrale, il est grand et très beau” is it correct ? and if i want to say i like this food “because it delicious” => “parce que c’est très délicieux” is it correct?

[@richardjustinamericantatem5758]

Greetings Dylane Another helpful and thorough video - bravo. "Ennuyant" - my native French speaking wife tells me that the right word for annoying is "ennuyeux" as opposed to "ennuyant." I can remember using "ennuyant" when we first got married, and she would always correct me as indicated above. Ennuyant does exist as the present participle of ennuyer, but even my Larousse dictionary phone app translates "annoying" as "ennuyeux, gênant, énervant, agaçant, fâcheux," but not "ennuyant." I realize you are a native French speaker and a professional French teacher, so I'm just trying to clarify this point of vocabulary pour être sûr que j'utilise "les mots justes." Merci d'avance

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

No I believe ennuyant works in this case. The difference is very slim between the 2 tho.

[@glensoo8435]

Bonjour Dylane! Thanks for the helpful tips. I have a quick question on this. Why do you use “Ce sont” instead of “Ces sont” to imply these are? Shouldn’t this phrase agree in number?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Hi Glen. That's a very good question! CE stays singular because it's a pronoun and only exists as CE / C'. Ces is an adjectifs and therefore agrees in gender and numbers. I hope it helps :)

[@David_10157]

Hi Dylan, in the audio recording 8.5, you said "Il est beau. / C'est beau" and "Il est tard. / C'est tard", but I didn't see an explanation in the video or one in the book for using both, "il est" and "c'est" for these two conditions. Could you please explain?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

C'est and il est can both be followed by an adjective or by an adverb :) Look at points about opinions and descriptions.

[@rldsmith86]

I have a question, If it works with il est beau, why can't I use il est tard to say he is late.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Good question Renee :) Il est tard doesn't work because we say Il est en retard :)

[@rldsmith86]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Merci beaucoup de m'avoir répondu. Peut-être qu'un jour je comprendrai pourquoi et je suis sûr que je l'apprendrai de vous. I typed what I knew and the rest was picked up from google translate.

So c’est on its own can also mean (he is /she is) ??? Or only “he is “?

Partir is used with Être. In the conjugation playlist, go watch the video called Passé composé with Être :)

[@noellawrence9092]

Hello Dylane, I bought your book on verb conjugation as although I like Duolingo I feel the way it approaches teaching of verbs is not terribly effective. Then, I was delighted to learn you offer videos on You Tube. I plan to watch them all. I want to keep track of which I have viewed, and which I have not. This is so I can be sure I am viewing all of them. Do you have a list of them all that I could use to keep track? Thanks for all you do. Noël Margaret

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Your comment makes me realize that I should have added a list of the video lessons in the book. I will add it as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you go to my website and click on Freebies, you can get a self-study guide with all the lessons in all my courses listed. If you want me to send it to you, just send me an email :)

[@MrCliffevans]

If some one says c'est froid instead of il fait froid, would that be totally wrong or would it be understood?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

They aren't wrong but they are used in different context. If you get food and it's cold, you can say "c'est froid" - but for the weather, use only "il fait froid" :)
