ALL WORDS IN THIS TEXT ARE MY OWN, SEE BELOW:
Here is an in depth explanation on HOW I formed my sentences, and WHERE I got my information from. Every single sentence is explained in depth, by bullet point.
- Si tout était possible
Blogue 4: Canvas “Que feriez-vous si tout était possible?” (I got this part of the text from the canvas worksheet) (Amelie Olivier, 2019)
- J’apprendais à jouer de la guitare rapidement. J’apprendrais l’instrument en cinq minutes. ( I WOULD learn to play the guitar rapidly. I WOULD learn the instrument in five minutes)
*TEXTBOOK MOTIFS: PAGE 442, Le conditionnel
My thought process:
I WOULD learn, “The conditional is formed by adding the imparfait endings to the future stem” (pg 442)
SO,
apprendre: Je apprends (present): Je apprendrai (future, stem: apprend) : Je apprendrais (to make it the conditionnel)
- Si j’apprenais la guitare, je jouerais avec mon amie Alexa qui chante, elle serait heureuse!
PAGE 442: Le Conditionnel
“The conditional is also used to express the consequences of a hypothetical situation using the structure:”
si + imparfait +conditionnel
Si j’apprenais la guitare, je jouerais avec mon amie Alexa qui chante, elle serait heureuse!
“Verbs that have an iregular stem in the future tense have the same irregular stem in the conditional” (PAGE 442)
There is a chart/ table on page 442 that has verbs in the infinitive and then translated to the conditional,
etre : to be (infinitive) = elle serait: to “would” be (conditionnel)
BUT
“Verbs that have an irregular stem in the future tense have the same irregular stem in the conditional” Page 442
etre has an irregular stem…
SO,
mon amie Alexa qui chante, elle serait heureuse
(My freind Alexa who sings, she’d be happy)
- J’aurais une maison en Californie que je ferais belle!
PAGE 442, LE CONDITIONNEL
There is a chart/ table on page 442 that has translations from the infinitive to the conditional,
avoir= j’aurais
faire= je ferais
WHY??
Becuase “the condtionnel is fromed by adding the imparfait endings to the future stem” (page 442)
BUT
“Verbs that have an irregular stem in the future tense have the same irregular stem in the conditional” Page 442
BOTH avoir and faire have irregular stems…
SO,
J’aurai= future infinitve , conditonnel= J’aurais
Je ferai= future infinitive, conditionnel= Je ferais
- Je veux acheter une grande et belle maison un jour.
We have learned the verb I WANT…which is vouloir
This scentnce is talking about what I want/ wish for myself, but it is in the present tense of what i feel NOW, so I left it in the future tense.
Acheter means to buy
So, ” i want to buy” translates into “Je veux acheter”
“Une grande et belle maison un jour” means “A big and beuatiful house one day”
I remember learning these words and contrived this sentence from my OWN memory. I just included it in here so I could explain that….for references the verb TO BUY is on page 7 and the verb TO WANT is on page 5
- Je prendrais mon amie Alexa en France pour des vacances.
I would take= Je prendrais
“the condtionnel is fromed by adding the imparfait endings to the future stem” (page 442)
prendre= to take,
prendrai= future stem
SO,
conditionnel= prendrais
- Nous verrions l’art dans les musées, j’adore l’art.
We would see the art in the musuems, I love art
*Since meuseum is plural in my sentence I just added an s at the end? Not sure if thats right…
voir= to see, its also an irregular stem so the rule: “Verbs that have an irregular stem in the future tense have the same irregular stem in the conditional” Page 442
PAGE 483 has a list of ALL verbs along wiht their forms…that is how I know what the future form and stem for voir is…it says it on the page
so,
future voir (we form)= verrons….thus conditionel is verrions…I think? I looked at the verb parler on page 442 and just assumed since nous parlions is the we contional for parler that verrions must be the we conditional for voir. I think i’m right.
The word art I just know becuase we learned that a while ago…maybe in french 212 or something? I remember learning that word when we were talking about museums…. J’adore is a simple form of words that we learned in like chapter one? So I know that too.
- Je parlerais à Emma Watson, elle est ma favorite actrice.
I would want to talk to Emma Watson, she is my favorite actress.
For the part, “ma favorite actrice. “, im not sure if that is right I sort of just guessed, I know I should use ma which means my, and im pretty sure favorite is favorite and actress is atrice? I honestly forgot and I couldnt find it in the book but I remember learning about that word when we were learning about professions.
Je parlerais
PAGE 442, has a list of PARLER in the conditionnel, so I grabbed that word from there.
Hope this helps 🙂
