Just because it’s got “se” doesn’t mean it’s a reflexive verb! 🤔 #shorts French in Plain Sight 2024-05-24 | For example, “se composer” isn’t actually reflexive. It's a pronominal verb (got the “se”) but its meaning is passive, not reflexive! In French, “Le site du Peyrou se compose d’un jeu de terrasses…” translates to “is composed of” in English, demonstrating passive voice rather than a reflexive action where the subject acts on itself. 💭“Le site se compose de” can also be written “Le site est composé de” which matches the English example.Most of us are led to believe in the beginner stage that if it has “se” then it’s reflexive. Then, as we advance, we never learn the full story.Can you think of other pronominal verbs that aren't reflexive?

Caught a real slice of everyday French on the streets today! 🇫🇷 French in Plain Sight 2024-04-30 | Ever notice how casual conversation can seem like a whole different language? Here's a real life example: ‘il faut qu’on se décide vite fait” casually morphs into “Faut qu’onstécide vite fait”. 😮 So what happens is that the “Il” from “il faut” goes and just becomes “faut” and then the “se décide” becomes “stécide”.It’s a great learning opportunity to see how spoken French can drastically shorten formal phrases.

We don’t say “je ne sais pas” in everyday French. Surprised? 🤔 French in Plain Sight 2024-04-09 | In casual, everyday French, it's common to skip the “ne”, turning “je ne sais pas” into “je sais pas”.Even more casually, “je” often changes into a “sh” sound, giving us “j’sais pas” (sh’sais pas) or just “Shais pas”. It's all about speeding up and blending the sounds! 🚀This is a perfect example of the gap between written and formal French versus the spoken, everyday language. 🇫🇷Ever noticed other differences like this in French?

Ever stumbled upon a mistake so common that it makes you question the rules? 🤔 #shorts French in Plain Sight 2024-02-28 | A great example is the use of “partager” (which means “to share”).When you want to say “I’m sharing something with you”, the textbook rule suggests saying “je partage quelque chose avec toi”.However, you'll often hear “je te partage quelque chose” in daily conversations and even teaching materials 📚 This raises an intriguing question about language: Is correctness determined by official rules or popular use?What do you think? Are you team #PopularUse? Or #OfficialUse? 🙌Reference: @lesparentheselemtentaires instagram.com/p/Co-MYIHDO26 Break through your intermediate plateau: learn.frenchinplainsight.com/masterclass?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=descriptionSpeak French with more Confidence and Make more progress.

Have you ever noticed how the French use petit to make phrases sound cuter? 🇫🇷 #shorts French in Plain Sight 2024-02-26 | Take "un petit dessert" for instance – it translates to "a little dessert". It doesn’t mean that the dessert is necessarily small, but it’s just a dessert said in a cuter way! In writing, it's “un petit dessert”, but say it out loud and it’s pronounced as “umti dessert”. This doesn't hinder understanding, thanks to our brains prioritising the key word here, which is “dessert”. 🍨What other written vs. spoken French words have caught your ear?
