Excellent!! The best explanation ever, especially with showing it on the time-line board. Genuis. I have always struggled with this, and now your awesome video explained it all. Un monde de remerciment!
Le futur antérieur est compliqué à placer en vrai quand on est natif. Le passé simple est parti dans une autre dimension tellement il est loin dans le passé et peu utilisé. Genre le passé antérieur 😅
J'ai lu que les françaises doivent deux les dictionnaires, un pour les mots, et un autre pour la grammaire. Cela semble plus et plus vrai comme j'apprends plus et plus du français 😅
@@totally_not_a_bot C'est pire que cela. En France, on ne lit même plus les dictionnaires, et on fait tous BEAUCOUP de fautes tous les jours. Donc ne vous inquiétez pas trop si vous faite des erreurs en Français, c'est rien, nous aussi 😅

verb tenses are the biggest things holding me back from leaving my French A2 plateau and entering the B level. i always get them mixed up or just forget them. having the visual along with the thoughtful explanations helped so much! this video was SO helpful, i paused and took notes as i watched and had so many "aha!" moments! merci beaucoup!!!
I am learning French at school and find this video incredibly helpful. It's so much easier to see the tenses all compared this way rather than separate! Thank you very much.
LOVE your use of timeline and colors to represent the different tenses! Excellent visualization of this complex concept. My only tiny tip is to explain that the term "perfect/parfait" doesn't have its usual meaning of "without flaws" but in the context of verb conjugation it means "complete." Explaining this to my own language learners helped them to embed an understanding that tenses like "past perfect" were actions *completed* in the past, or "Future perfect" was action that will have been completed in the future. Thank you so much for such a clear, beautiful and precise video!
This is by far the best French lesson I've ever had... thank you so much for your hard work this was such an ingenious way of showing how tenses change.
I always say "If you got an excellent teacher you will learn it easily!" You explained the tenses in a short and precise way and showed graphics for visual learners - outstanding! Thank you so much Alexa!
I am an English teacher myself, and my knowledge of French is extremely limited, and to be honest I just clicked on the video out of curiosity, I didn't know any tense of French, but after your explanation, and because you compared them to the English tenses, I understood to perfection, at least the basics of how the tenses work in French and their equivalences in English. I know that many people have already said this but, you are an excellent professeure, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge to the world.
MILLIONS TIMES THANK YOU! I just finish my second semester in my career (foreing languajes) and I suffered so hard in French, the french tenses made me cry a lot because everyone could memorized everything but I couldn't understand anything, I though I was bad at french, but thank to you I know how can I start again, merci!

This is definitely, extremely helpful for me! as an mandarin speaker learning French it is difficult to come to a timeline for verb conjugation like this since the concepts of time are distinctly different, and I have never seen any other french teachers teaching these concepts through such a clear explanation and visual presentation. Thank you so much!
Merci beaucoup. Thank you very much, I'm also an A. English language teacher and your method is similar to mine. Teaching tenses is one of the best ways for someone to start using a language quickly.
This is so helpful. Je vous remercie! Until now not only was I struggling to conjugate the different verbs, but also I was clueless as to what tense to use and how to understand the meanings. The timeline was great!!Thank you for clarifying!!
What a really helpful video I’ve ever waited for .. it simplifies the most difficult part in learning French ❤️ 🇫🇷 and in ONLY ten minutes. I can’t thank enough teacher Alexa ❤️❤️ A big thanks from all of my heart ❤️ And we are waiting for more .. as we also find the regular and irregular verbs another difficulty that we suffer from..
@@learnfrenchwithalexa thank you so much for this visual! Please is it possible to also get the graphic? Thanks a lot for all you do to make french easier. I have been learning French 'forever!' and am still struggling. English speaker, now living in Montreal...but I will not give up :)
This video is super useful for breaking down french conjugation. I was born and live in Quebec, am considered an English Quebecer and these concepts were instilled from an early age. Especially through the Bescherelle. You don't need all of the tenses but the Present, Futur, Passe and Imparfait. Most of my foundation is based on my time in french school and being around the language for so long. It takes some getting used to. But don't feel bad, even native French speakers have trouble passing language exams here. It's just a matter of understanding the basics. Also, French speakers appreciate the effort, so don't be shy!
I am a retired Montessori elementary teacher. This is exactly how grammar is presented in Montessori education - with a timeline; in the native tongue, English. It is actually taught at at the 9-12 age in the context of the child's first language with the purpose of the child being able to utilize this understanding when learning other languages. It is a good example of how Montessori education lays the foundation for future learning. Until I learned it in Montessori training, I had never seen it presented in this manner. At the time, and in your video, I found it very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
@@spikefivefivefive Vous m'avez enseigné plus en conjugaison en 10 minutes que mon professeur en 4 ans ( le problème est que le Français est une langue très précise ) bon courage
Merci beaucoup Madame Alexa!!!! I have my French exam tomorrow. I had forgotten all the French tenses but you came as a saviour. In ten mins I remembered everything!
Thank you. As a North American my first second language was French, and I love it. BUT I use Spanish, my second second language much more often and now that language comes out most often. Nevertheless, I will always have a great love for French and i love to remember the tenses and vocabulary. Thank you thank you for this concise review. it all comes back in just 10 minutes!!!! merci beaucoup!!
That was the most helpful, easy-to-understand explanation of French tenses I have ever seen!! I love the graphic timeline!! That visual is so effective in visualizing the tenses. You did an amazing job!!

Oui, this video is immensely helpful. Just to have as a guide in front of me while I try to speak in full sentences this is amazing and all one one page. No flipping between units or study sheets! Merci beacoup!
Well, in real french we use présent, futur and imparfait, passé simple just in books. In termes of mode, indicative, imperative, conditional (if condition) and subjonctive mainly after conjunction introduced by que. There are 3 kinds of verb according to the "stem": in E, in I and zero one (sa called 3rd group). Last letters are regular e-es-e for the ER (E group) + 2 or 3 in IR, otherwise it's s-s-t or x-x-t with verbs in OIR. The endings of present tense are partially irregular with some 8 verbs (avoir, être, aller, faire, dire etc... vous êtes, faîtes, dîtes and ils sont, vont, font and so on). Really suppletive forms occurs with avoir, être and aller, just learn them) and the irregularities met in other tense or modes are mainly with the same verbs + those in OIR. About the 3rd group, the point is to remember which consonannt will "link" the plural forms. It can be S (pronounced Z), SS, Y. Some 3 or 4 unregular cases here with forms in N (preNons - preNNent), V (buVons - boiVent) and so. Pay attention to vowel changes due to the position of the stress on the last syllable (pEUx - pouvONs). Nothing scaring, even french people can speak french... Have a nice day!
Alexa, your cheerful explanations and examples have helped us understand more the minute differences among different tenses. They are very helpful. keep up the good work. Love your channel. Already subscribed.
Brilliant teaching. This video is superb and after 40 years of not speaking or learning French,I am finding that this video has given me an interest again to start learning now that I am retired
I never understood the tenses and this is very helpful! Although I'm kinda confused between some verbs' uses especially that I'm not a native English speaker but I'll look up the rest of your videos! Thank you very much :)
I used to be a Spanish teacher, and this is how I explained the tenses to my Spanish students. I am studying French by myself, and I found this very helpful!
Merci . Tu es intelligente . I am a jss3 student and no one has explained this like you . Merci , au reviour et merci . I used my mum's phone to watch this video, tu vrai intelligente

@@turnipsociety706 mais j’ai appris le français à L’école depuis 7 ans et je vais continuer avec la langue au l’université, au cours de ces 7 années, Mes professeurs n'ont pas autant aidé que cette vidéo. J’ai du mal avec l’imparfait pour la plupart et mes profs n’ont pas aidé mais, maintenant, je comprends le temps et je peux étudier et réviser pour mes examens. Désolé pour mon français, comme j’ai dit, je suis anglais donc ce n’est pas parfait. Je kiffe la langue et l’étudie des langues donc je vais continuer et apprendre💪
3 years of high school French (merci, Mme Simon!) and 55 years of reading. I’ve come across the 'recent' tenses but always thought of them as idiomatic expressions rather than formal tenses, so thank you for that.
Ça dépend. J'enseigne le français depuis six ans maintenant, et j'ai toujours utilisé une ligne du temps. C'est plus logique. Maintenant que j'ai trouvé cette vidéo, je vais pouvoir l'utiliser pour les révisions. C'est clair et concis. En classe, il faut souvent s'arrêter pour répondre aux questions. Et ça, ça complique un peu les choses.
I’m just getting started learning French but have studied Spanish and Italian. This was so helpful seeing all the configurations in one place, thank you!
I've just started learning french (26days ago) and this helps me to have an overview of the different perceptions of time in french... and you explained it great! tkx!
This is so well-explained! I learned French in school from elementary through high school and no one explained the various tenses this clearly. I’m brushing up on my French and this really helped. Merci beaucoup!
Studying Latin unlocked my own English grammar for me. Only when I understood English grammar (moods, voice, tenses, etc.,) was I able to effectively study French. I use timelines to teach my Latin students. This was an excellent model!
I recently earned my certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and the instructors used the timeline, which was helpful. Unfortunately, English has, like, 18 tenses so that timeline got pretty crowded! This video was really helpful.
I always think to learn french with french speaking videos, it's not right because I couldn't find any video explaining so well about the tense but only the changing of verb forms. Excellent work, Professeure Alexa, merci beaucoup pour votre travail !
We're about to travel back to a French country and this video was the best revision for me since I was a little kid from 4th grade! Wish me luck 🙏 I hope I can finish school in French after all these years I spent in an English school! ❤❤❤ 😊
I studied French for 6 years in school and this all went over my head. I lived in Nice for two years and learned all this by swimming in the deep end…. Not even realizing all these complex conjugations. Good representation of the various tenses
Come un bilangue français second-langue- I find myself using j'aurais more as a 'past-future' tense than as future perfect. And it took me about a decade of immersion schooling to internalize what you explained perfectly in 10 minutes. C'est genial!
I'm from Sri Lanka...I'm studying french language for my advance level examination...These tenses were the biggest problem for me...Thank you so much help me to solve it ❤
This is by far the best explanation available to define the crux of how tense structure works in French language. This helps me to clarifies the verb forms to be used when I'm thinking in English and converting the sentence in French. My native language is Hindi. I studied English as a second language and wanted to learn french as well, this has been helpful .

ca depend de l'ecole. J'ai appris l'anglais avec ce genre de lignes temporelles
@@turnipsociety706 mais j’ai appris le français à L’école depuis 7 ans et je vais continuer avec la langue au l’université, au cours de ces 7 années, Mes professeurs n'ont pas autant aidé que cette vidéo. J’ai du mal avec l’imparfait pour la plupart et mes profs n’ont pas aidé mais, maintenant, je comprends le temps et je peux étudier et réviser pour mes examens. Désolé pour mon français, comme j’ai dit, je suis anglais donc ce n’est pas parfait. Je kiffe la langue et l’étudie des langues donc je vais continuer et apprendre💪
3 years of high school French (merci, Mme Simon!) and 55 years of reading. I’ve come across the 'recent' tenses but always thought of them as idiomatic expressions rather than formal tenses, so thank you for that.
Ça dépend. J'enseigne le français depuis six ans maintenant, et j'ai toujours utilisé une ligne du temps. C'est plus logique. Maintenant que j'ai trouvé cette vidéo, je vais pouvoir l'utiliser pour les révisions. C'est clair et concis. En classe, il faut souvent s'arrêter pour répondre aux questions. Et ça, ça complique un peu les choses.
I learnt French in school and that helped me with my English grammar. Now it's helpful with Spanish too
People watching this before exams 😂😂😂

Excellent. I don't know how to explain you by words.i was confused with all my grammar lessons , but your explanation made me all crystal clear
Thank you very much for a wonderful explanation ☺️
Short, precise, clear and pleasant. thank you! Great video!
I’m just getting started learning French but have studied Spanish and Italian. This was so helpful seeing all the configurations in one place, thank you!
I've just started learning french (26days ago) and this helps me to have an overview of the different perceptions of time in french... and you explained it great! tkx!
I have been studing french for some months, and this is the best class i had! Clear and strict to the point! Congrats Alexa!!!
This is so well-explained! I learned French in school from elementary through high school and no one explained the various tenses this clearly. I’m brushing up on my French and this really helped. Merci beaucoup!
Studying Latin unlocked my own English grammar for me. Only when I understood English grammar (moods, voice, tenses, etc.,) was I able to effectively study French. I use timelines to teach my Latin students. This was an excellent model!
I recently earned my certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and the instructors used the timeline, which was helpful. Unfortunately, English has, like, 18 tenses so that timeline got pretty crowded! This video was really helpful.
I always think to learn french with french speaking videos, it's not right because I couldn't find any video explaining so well about the tense but only the changing of verb forms. Excellent work, Professeure Alexa, merci beaucoup pour votre travail !
We're about to travel back to a French country and this video was the best revision for me since I was a little kid from 4th grade! Wish me luck 🙏 I hope I can finish school in French after all these years I spent in an English school! ❤❤❤ 😊
I studied French for 6 years in school and this all went over my head. I lived in Nice for two years and learned all this by swimming in the deep end…. Not even realizing all these complex conjugations. Good representation of the various tenses
Chere Alexa, this timeline analysis is so superb. You are a great teacher. Merci.

Come un bilangue français second-langue-
I find myself using j'aurais more as a 'past-future' tense than as future perfect.
And it took me about a decade of immersion schooling to internalize what you explained perfectly in 10 minutes. C'est genial!
I have tried to extract this from French teachers in the past to no avail. Thank you so much; I am now quite excited about learning more from you.
If someone had taught me this in the past, I wouldn't,t have struggled to learn French throughout the years. Thank you!
I'm from Sri Lanka...I'm studying french language for my advance level examination...These tenses were the biggest problem for me...Thank you so much help me to solve it ❤
Merci. I am just starting to revise my French learnt 30 years ago. This was so useful!
This is by far the best explanation available to define the crux of how tense structure works in French language. This helps me to clarifies the verb forms to be used when I'm thinking in English and converting the sentence in French. My native language is Hindi. I studied English as a second language and wanted to learn french as well, this has been helpful .
I've been speaking French for almost 5 years and this helped a lot, thank you :))
This is one of the best examples for learning tenses of French verbs. Merci!
An amazing 👏 teacher that I have seen . I am very good at french reading because of her .she has intelligent skills to teach french language
THANK U SO MUCH! I have been struggling so much in French. After I graduated I am homeschooling for 1 year with your teaching. It has been the best year!! tu es la meilleur professeur du monde!! Mon prof de français, son enseignement est comme de la merde
Wow this is the clearest timeline to differentiate all the tenses I never understood since high school.
Merci beaucoup!!! I am learning French and this has been so helpful! And your way of talking and teaching is no nice, I love listening to your videos!!!
This is the most helpful explanation I've ever seen for french verb tenses. Thank you !!
this is the most useful representation of french conjugations i have ever seen! Merci beaucoup !
Just to re-iterate what all the comments have already said, this is so incredibly well explained, and the visual of the timeline was such a great tool for me to learn personally. And in 10 minutes! Thank you so much for the work you do, especially making learning french so accessible and fun!
Thank you. This is the best explanation of French Present and Past tense I have heard.
This is very good. She is really smart in making French more making sense. Merci beaucoup
