The Verb Être

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, At the Moulin Rouge: The Dance

In this topic, you learned how to conjugate the verb être (to be) in the present tense affirmative. You also learned that placing “ne” before the verb and “pas” after it makes the negative construction. This verb is very irregular and you now realize that you will need to continue to practice it, including singing the little tune, in order to commit it to memory.

Next, you will be presented with even more adjectives and you will learn how to make them agree in number and gender with the noun they modify. À bientôt! See you soon!
