I am a French teacher and have always found it more useful to not call them verbs of "movement " - that could confuse people because just about every verb involves movement but doesn't necessarily take être in the passé composé. I prefer to give the image of a house - all actions involving coming or going from the house, and ascending and descending within the house take être in pp. these are the verbs included in dr mrs van der tramp (as in the video). If you call them verbs of movement, for example, you have some that don't fit at all into this category - e.g. rester = to stay (no movement involved), mourir = to die, (not much movement involved!), then we have lots of verbs of movement... danser, courir, marcher etc etc which do not take être in the passé composé
You are completely right Caroline, I wouldn't call them this either, especially when the verb MARCHER is not considered as a movement verb! However and for the purpose of tag and algorithm we have to title this video Movement verbs. All the best and thank you for your valued input :) Alexa
I am in Quebec for 8 weeks for an intensive french school(Mérici)and together with that I am doing a marathon of your lessons which help me understand better so many rules of grammar,you are seriously amazing Thanks a million 🌹
I'm a online french student and with Alexa's method...really I'm learning both idioms : french, and renforcing English at the same time, as I'm a latinamerican native person
It has been about thirty years since I studied French in high school and college. Your videos have been the most refreshing and enjoyable means to return to this beautiful language before finally making a trip to Paris in October. Thank you for your wonderful work, Alexa!
Thanks Alexa!! This video was very useful! I had been struggling with french verb tenses but your videos cleared most of my doubts. I guess your way of teaching and my way of learning are truly compatible, it makes it much easier for me to absorb the information! Thanks again
We just were handed a paper with a mountain where different cartoon characters acted those actions on different locations on that mountain. This Dr & Mrs is a great additional helo. Thx a lot.
Dear Alexa I am an older lady who has decided to learn French to keep my brain active and I think your lessons on you tube are wonderful and very easy to understand thank you so much 💝Olwynxx
Thnx alot dear Alexa!! But the subtitles keep coming of wtever you speak n french,which covers the bottom part of the lesson onthe screen.is there anytrickon the screen,that I can remove it or relocate it?? I think this has started recently.
Thank you for this wonderful lesson , my school always watches u and we only love learning French from u ! U help me a lot for my exams like I have one tmrw and I have French exam tomorrow! 🤲
In school we learned to remember these verbs with the "Stade D'Etre" or the "Etre" stadium; everything you could do at/in/outside/by a stadium; one verb missing is passer as in Nous sommes passes par le stade samedi dernier. Great video Alexa !
alexa you are a really good teacher. i'm learning french with you together and my french is going soo good. I really can't find a teacher like you. Love you and Mercii :))
yeah her videos are really helpful and if you want there's another channel I think (learn french with vincent) it's wonderful you can check it out and you'll thank me😉
Merci beaucoup madame Alexa !! Ma'am are all the movement verbs like courir, marcher , etc. , which do not come under the category of Dr. Mrs. Vandertramp, conjugated with être in past tense ? . Pls reply. . Merci
No neither. For example aller presént it's; je vais, tu vas, il va, nous allons, vous allez, ils vont and in futur simple it's j'irai, tu iras, il/on ira, nous irons, vous irez, ils iront, There is another term called futur proche. For example je vais aller, tu vas aller etc but you dont have to learn this at the beginning. Like aller, in french exist more irregular verbs than you may think (voulvoir, pouvoir, falloir etc.) and you have to learn it "par coeur." ;-)
Another helpful acronym helps to known when to pronounce the last letter of French words. In the word CAREFUL, the consonants show that words ending in C (sac), R (venir), F (sauf), and L (sol) are the ones. Are the others, Alexa?
hi alexa. thankyou for this lesson. Are Movement verbs all 3rd Group Irregular, or do they fall into all the other verb groups also? I notice that Aller is among them.
Will you make another video to explain the verbs which in the passé composé can also be transitive and then use avoir as the auxiliary? I'm not sure I understand intransitive use in contrast to transitive use in the past tense. (And like another poster mentioned, why is passer omitted?)
Descendre et (quelquefois) convenir are also conjugated with être, although I don't know when être is used instead of avoir with convenir. Does anyone know?
Merci Alexa pour une autre leçon superbe. J'ai une question sil vous plait. Why isn't WALK/WALKED in this list of movement verbs? To walk is a movement is it not?
Bonjour Craig, that is a very very pertinent question which I can not answer unfortunately. To walk is not in the list of the movement verbs so learn it with the verb AVOIR in the past :)
On a personal note, with cycling events coming up like the Critérium du Dauphiné and Tour de Suisse which are the final lead up races to the Tour de France at the start of July i would be very interested in how the ACTUAL names of towns,regions and general tourist information that is handed out during the TV Coverage by English and Australian commentators for where i am from on how the Actual pronunciation is made in regards to these topics. Just must 2 cents as i have just found your TH-cam Channel and YES i have just subscribed
This uses the song 'All Star' by Smash Mouth to remember all the verbs (other than monter)

caroline swan iiii
As a student I must say that we are in total agreement.
You're completely right 🌷
How can we say that verb die is a verb of movement? I don't understand that.
You make it so simple that I am beginning to speak French fluently...you are wonderful I wish there is better word than THANK YOU
Merci beaucoup, Alexa, pour cette leçon. Tu es la meilleur professeure de français. 🤗❤️
I am in Quebec for 8 weeks for an intensive french school(Mérici)and together with that I am doing a marathon of your lessons which help me understand better so many rules of grammar,you are seriously amazing

I'm a online french student and with Alexa's method...really I'm learning both idioms : french, and renforcing English at the same time, as I'm a latinamerican native person
Hi!! Are you learning it by yourself?
It has been about thirty years since I studied French in high school and college. Your videos have been the most refreshing and enjoyable means to return to this beautiful language before finally making a trip to Paris in October. Thank you for your wonderful work, Alexa!
Merci Jamie, that's great to hear! Enjoy your trip to Paris! 😄
Thanks alexa for explaining all the topics in a detailed manner
Thanks Alexa!! This video was very useful! I had been struggling with french verb tenses but your videos cleared most of my doubts. I guess your way of teaching and my way of learning are truly compatible, it makes it much easier for me to absorb the information! Thanks again
I really really thank you. By far one of the simplest ways to learn this.
We just were handed a paper with a mountain where different cartoon characters acted those actions on different locations on that mountain. This Dr & Mrs is a great additional helo. Thx a lot.
Thank You Very Much Madame Alexa Polidoro, For The Way You Are Simplifying The Learning Of French Language.

Hiluriste Mekila omg creep in french lessons, go away
Hiluriste Mekila wtf
You are a good teacher of French language
I think every episode, it only takes her one take to film. How you may ask? Definitely because of how professional yet comfortable she is.

Merci beaucoup ! Also, if you want more have a look at my website www.learnfrenchwithalexa.com ! Bon courage ! )

Is there a verb called ascender/ ascendre in french and if so what auxiliary is to be used?
Merci beaucoup madame Alexa.
Vielen vielen Dank.
Diese Lektionen sind echt äußerst großartig.
merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo. vous m'avez essayé avec le français. c'est très bien ! now what part of the sentence needs corrected?
Je t'aime madame. Tu es le meilleur professeur de tous les temps
Thank you! So very helpful, merci beaucoup! x
I actually understand what Dr and Mrs Vandertramp is after 5 years of French class
Merci beaucoup madame Alexa !! Ma'am are all the movement verbs like courir, marcher , etc. , which do not come under the category of Dr. Mrs. Vandertramp, conjugated with être in past tense ? . Pls reply. .
Merci
Dr&Mrs Vandertramp excellent
Thank you for teaching us mam.
I want to know the difference between sortir and partir
I do really appreciate you i wish i would have found you earlier ,from iran merci
So, these verbs in the Passé Composé are conjugated with être but in the the Présent and Futur tenses are conjugated with avoir?
No neither. For example aller presént it's; je vais, tu vas, il va, nous allons, vous allez, ils vont and in futur simple it's j'irai, tu iras, il/on ira, nous irons, vous irez, ils iront, There is another term called futur proche. For example je vais aller, tu vas aller etc but you dont have to learn this at the beginning. Like aller, in french exist more irregular verbs than you may think (voulvoir, pouvoir, falloir etc.) and you have to learn it "par coeur." ;-)
Oh, okay. Thanks man! :)
So what's the difference between Revenir and Rentrer? Can you use them for the same?
merci beaucoup pour leçon madame
Another helpful acronym helps to known when to pronounce the last letter of French words. In the word CAREFUL, the consonants show that words ending in C (sac), R (venir), F (sauf), and L (sol) are the ones. Are the others, Alexa?
Really helpful
Very systematic among those language training tutorials ever
You saved my term ✅
Do you have a video for giving / learning directions? For example, go straight, turn left / right, etc.
What about the verbs marcher,nager,quitter,courir? Are they not considered verbs of movement?
hi alexa. thankyou for this lesson. Are Movement verbs all 3rd Group Irregular, or do they fall into all the other verb groups also? I notice that Aller is among them.
Are all venir verbs treated the same?
Thank you for uploading this just on time! I am having finals tommorow and this lesson is included. Thaaanks :))
Wonderful, Alexa. Really enjoy and appreciate your work.
thanks for sharing
You are the best of the best teacher ever...merci beaucoup ♡
thank you
Will you make another video to explain the verbs which in the passé composé can also be transitive and then use avoir as the auxiliary? I'm not sure I understand intransitive use in contrast to transitive use in the past tense. (And like another poster mentioned, why is passer omitted?)
Great method
Thanks so much please in one of your videos can you teach how to add etre to the passé compose
it's really interesting. Merci!!
I like it. I thank you to let me understand the concept of movement verbs.
Great videos! Great help!
Merci Kavita, so glad that they are useful for you.. !
@@learnfrenchwithalexa Merci... I'm Riya!
Very useful
Good work madam. Keep it up.
Descendre et (quelquefois) convenir are also conjugated with être, although I don't know when être is used instead of avoir with convenir. Does anyone know?
Michael Hamill its taken from from venir, consider con- as a prefix like in REvenir, what really matters its the ending -venir.
Merci Alexa pour une autre leçon superbe. J'ai une question sil vous plait. Why isn't WALK/WALKED in this list of movement verbs? To walk is a movement is it not?
Bonjour Craig, that is a very very pertinent question which I can not answer unfortunately. To walk is not in the list of the movement verbs so learn it with the verb AVOIR in the past :)
Hello
Wow you're the best i will buy from your learn french with alexa after i finish beginner lesson
Merci Alexa. C’est tres utile.

Thanks for ur other videos 🙏🙏🙏
On a personal note, with cycling events coming up like the Critérium du Dauphiné and Tour de Suisse which are the final lead up races to the Tour de France at the start of July i would be very interested in how the ACTUAL names of towns,regions and general tourist information that is handed out during the TV Coverage by English and Australian commentators for where i am from on how the Actual pronunciation is made in regards to these topics.
