To start your language journey today, let’s dive into the first thing to know about Adjectives.
Adjectives are used to qualify a thing or a person.
Grasse est la capitale mondiale des parfums.
(Grasse is the world capital of perfume.)
They agree in gender and number with the noun to which they relate.
In general, they take a -e in the feminine, and a -s in the plural.
– Il est grand et fort. He is big and strong. (masculine singular)
– Elle est grande et forte. She is tall and strong. (feminine singular)
– Ils sont grands et forts. They are tall and strong. (Plural masculine)
– Elles sont grandes et fortes. They are big and strong. (Feminine plural).
Some adjectives change form to feminine. Here is a list.
Generally, most qualifying adjectives are placed after the noun.
However, some are placed before the name. Here is, in a schematic form, the general rule.
2.What do we have to do when a noun has two French adjectives or more?1 If the two adjectives normally go before the noun, they go together with an
Ex. A good and nice boy Un bon et gentil garçon.
2 If an adjective goes before the noun and one after, they are both placed after the noun with “and”:
Ex. A good and hearty meal. Un repas bon et copieux.
3 We can put an adjective before and after:
Ex. A beautiful gray hat. Un beau chapeau gris.
4 If the two adjectives normally go after the noun they are placed there with on and
Ex: She is a friendly and sincere woman. C’est une femme amicale et sincère.
Remember We do not put a long adjective before a noun of a single syllable.
That’s all for adjectives.

The ”passé composé” is the present perfect tense. This tense is used a lot in French to describe a situation that happened in the past at a definite time but that still has a meaning for today… Seems very theoretical, but really, it is not as you will see soon with French Lessons Australia!
When to use it?
The passé composé is the usual tense for events and incidents that happened in a close past. Unlike the English present perfect, the passé composé is used very often by French people.
Some time indicators can be used in addition to strengthen this relation between past and present! For instance: hier (yesterday), l’autre jour (the other day), samedi passé (last Saturday), plusieurs fois (several times), l’année passée (last year),
As you can see, it is not necessary to be very recent to use the passé composé. As soon as the information is still relevant with today, the passé composé is appropriate.
Obviously, the passé composé is not the only past tense used in French. The imperfect tense and the past simple tense are also used as we will see in another post on French Lessons Brisbane. However, the passé composé is one of the predominant tense in everyday’s language!
How to use it?
The passé composé is, as its name suggests, a compound tense. Which means that it can be compounded with either the auxiliary ‘être’ or ‘avoir’, followed by the past participle of the verb.
The passé composé of most of the French verbs is used with the ‘avoir’.
Let’s take the action of eating. To say that you ate some bread this morning, you will say in French ”j’ai mangé du pain ce matin”. In fact, in English, you could have said either ”I ate some bread”, or ”I have eaten”, or even ”I did eat”. In French, you will only use the passé composé and say ”J’ai mangé”.
The only things you need to know to form the passé composé is the conjugation of the verb ‘avoir’ to the present tense.
J’ai
Tu as
Il/Elle a
Nous avons
Vous avez
Ils/Elles ont
To that, you will need to add the past participle of the verb you want to conjugate. If the verb is regular, its past participle will mostly be regular. Which means you can guess it without having to know it by heart.
For instance, regular verbs ending by ER will have see their ER displaced by a ‘e’. Therefore, acheter (to buy) will be acheté (bought), manger (to eat) will be mangé (eaten), commencer (to start) will be commencé (started).
Regular verbs ending by IR will have their IR displaced by a ‘i’. Therefore, finir (to finish) will be fini (finished), choisir (to choose) will be choisi (chosen).
And finally, regular verbs ending by RE will have their RE displaced by a ‘u’. Therefore, perdre (to lose) will be perdu (lost), attendre (to wait) will be attendu (waited).
Easy, right?
Well, now, as in English, there are a few irregular verbs which will see their past participle changing differently.
For example, etre (to be) will be été (been), pouvoir (to can) will be pu (could), voir (to see) will be vu (seen), apprendre (to learn) will be appris (learnt), rire (to laugh) will be ri (laughed), etc…
