What Are French Demonstrative Pronouns?

French demonstrative pronouns can loosely be translated to these English pronouns: “this one,” “that one,” “these over here” or “those over there.”

The difference is that the French demonstrative pronouns are just a bit more complicated than the English ones.

English demonstrative pronouns only need to agree in number with the nouns they replace. French demonstrative pronouns have to agree in both gender and number with the nouns they replace.

The four French demonstrative pronouns are:

●Celui  (the one/that one). Masculine singular. ( Je préfère celui.  — I prefer this one.)
●Celle  (the one/that one). Feminine singular. ( C’est celle de ma mère.  — It’s the one belonging to my mother.)
●Ceux  (the ones/those ones). Masculine plural. ( J’aime ceux qui sont sur la table.  — I like the ones on the table.)
●Celles  (these ones/those ones). Feminine plural. ( Tu préfères celles-ci ou celles-là?  — Do you prefer these ones or those ones?)

How to Congratulate in French

Basic ways to congratulate someone in French👇

Félicitations! = Congratulations.
Bravo! = Bravo!
Or even👇

Trop fort! (informal) = “Too strong!” (literally) = Very good!
Chapeau! (a bit old-fashioned) = “Hat” (literally) = “Congrats!” (with surprise and admiration)

But never use Bien fait to congratulate someone!
Yes, literally, Bien fait means “Well done.” But it’s never used as “Well done!” in spoken French by itself. Instead, it means: “Serves you right.” = “You deserved that bad thing that happened to you.” We also say Bien fait pour toi!

For instance:
Tu as ri quand je suis tombée de vélo. Et maintenant c’est toi qui es tombée ! Ha, bien fait!
= You laughed when I fell off my bike. And now you fell off too! Ha, serves you well!

Bien fait is a taunt. Don’t use it and accidentally make fun of someone – it would be an embarrassing mistake.

The Past Tense in French

Part 3

How to conjugate the passé composé in French?
To conjugate the passé composé we use the present tense of avoir or être as an auxiliary verb, followed by the past participle (participe passé) of the main verb👆

In negative sentences, the past participle comes after the second part of the negation (pas)

Example:
J’ai rigolé. → Je n’ai pas rigolé (I laughed→I didn't laugh)
Je suis parti.→ Je ne suis pas parti (I left →I didn't leave)

For reflexive verbs, the reflexive pronoun comes after the first part of the negation (ne) and before the auxiliary verb (avoir/être).

Example:
Je ne me suis pas trompé dans mon calcul (I didn't make a mistake in my calculations)

Gender of French nouns



In French, nouns can be masculine (masculins) or feminine (feminins). This is known as gender. We can sometimes recognise a noun’s gender by its ending, but the only way to be sure is to always learn nouns together with their article (le/un or la/une).

Examples:

l’homme, le chien, le tableau, le travail, le chêne (masculine)

la femme, la danseuse, la librairie, la cuisine}, la France (feminine)

French Pronouns

✨ Direct object pronouns

Direct object pronouns replace a direct object in a sentence.
Using direct object pronouns in French can help avoid repetition, making your speech or writing sound more fluid and natural.

Some common examples of direct object pronouns in French include “le,” “la,” “les,” “me,” “te,” and “nous.”
For example:

●Je l’ai vu. (I saw him/her/it.)
●Elle les a mangés. (She ate them.)
●Il me parle. (He is talking to me.)
.
✨ Indirect object pronouns

Indirect object pronouns are used to replace an indirect object, which is usually a person or thing that receives the action of the verb indirectly.

Some common examples of indirect object pronouns in French include “lui” (him/her/it), “leur” (them), and “me” (to me).
For example:

●Il m’a donné un cadeau. (He gave me a gift.)
●Elle lui parle souvent. (She talks to him/her/it often.)
●Ils nous ont envoyé un message. (They sent us a message.)
