章节指南
Overview
Describing Your World, your essential guide to truly starting to *speak* French! At the A1 French level, the ability to express what you do, what you like, and how your day unfolds is fundamental. This chapter is designed to unlock those everyday conversations by focusing on the most crucial building blocks of French grammar: verbs.How This Grammar Works
- Je (I): -e (e.g., Je parle – I speak, Je mange – I eat)
- Tu (You singular informal): -es (e.g., Tu parles – You speak, Tu manges – You eat)
- Il/Elle/On (He/She/One): -e (e.g., Il parle – He speaks, Elle mange – She eats)
- Nous (We): -ons (e.g., Nous parlons – We speak, Nous mangeons – We eat)
- Vous (You formal/plural): -ez (e.g., Vous parlez – You speak, Vous mangez – You eat)
- Ils/Elles (They masculine/feminine): -ent (e.g., Ils parlent – They speak, Elles mangent – They eat)
Liking Things vs. Doing Thingswith the verb aimer (to like/love). When you like a noun, you use a definite article: J'aime le café (I like the coffee).
Common Mistakes
- 1✗ Wrong: Nous parlons la français. (We speak the French.)
- 1✗ Wrong: J'aime à manger. (I like to eat.)
- 1✗ Wrong: J'attends pour le bus. (I wait for the bus.)

Quick FAQ
What are the most common French verbs for an A1 learner?
Regular -er verbs are by far the most common, making up about 90% of all French verbs, making them essential for A1 French speakers.
How do I say
I like to do somethingin French without making a common mistake?
Simply use aimer followed directly by the infinitive form of the action verb, like J'aime voyager (I like to travel) or J'aime danser (I like to dance).
Are all -ir verbs conjugated exactly like finir?
Many common -ir verbs follow the regular pattern of finir, but some, like venir (to come) or partir (to leave), are irregular. For A1 French, focus on the regular pattern first.
Do I need to use a preposition after attendre when saying wait for something or someone?
No, the verb attendre (to wait for) inherently includes the meaning of for, so you do not need to add pour or any other preposition.
