Comparisons and Adjective Placement

French comparison structures use "plus" and "moins" with specific grammatical patterns, while adjective placement follows distinct rules based on the type of adjective.

Definition: Modal verbs must be followed by infinitive forms in French constructions.

Example: "Je trouve le ski plus difficile que le cyclisme" shows proper comparison structure.

Highlight: Common adjectives describing age, beauty, or size precede the noun, while color adjectives follow it.

Quote: "Il y a un beau jardin" demonstrates correct adjective placement before the noun.

Perfect Tense and Conditional Forms

The French perfect tense construction requires careful attention to three essential elements: subject pronouns, the auxiliary verb avoir, and past participles. The conditional tense provides ways to express hypothetical situations and polite requests.

Definition: The perfect tense (passé composé) is used to describe completed actions in the past.

Example: "J'ai visité" (I have visited) demonstrates the perfect tense structure.

Highlight: The conditional tense uses specific endings for different verb groups (-er, -ir, -re) to express "would" statements.

Vocabulary: "Je voudrais" and "J'aimerais" are common conditional expressions meaning "I would like."

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
