The English subjunctive is much easier / less used than in French! Thank you so much for including things acronyms such as WEIRDO. This a brilliant video that's helping me understand terms quickly, as I always feel this, and the past tenses in French are the hardest for me to understand. Merci infiniment

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

I am so glad it helps! If you want, I have another video about the subjunctive. It was posted in December I believe.

[@steviebarrett]

Another great lesson Dylane, to use a video game metaphor le subjonctif is the "Dark Souls" of French tenses but it seems a lot less scary now after your excellent explaination and examples.

[@Stephanie-gv8rh]

Oh wow so much to take in! 🤯 but you explain it to well 🙏 I will definitely be rewatching this one! Is the subjonctif used often in spoken French?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

The most used one is with Il faut que, so if there is one to master is this one. The rest you can take is slowly 😉

Merci beaucoup Dylane 😻Il y a beaucoup de choses pour attendre de subjonctif.I was trying to say that there a lot of things to learn about subjonctive.

[@goodnessesom618]

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane s'il vous plait. Vous pourriez faire un video qui s'agit comment utiliser ou dans quelles situations qu'on puisse utiliser "à", "de" ou "pour" ??
Je suis un etudiant au Niveau B2 et parfois j'ai ce problem.
Par example, qui est correct?
Il est censé a faire cette chose ou il est censé de faire cette chose.
Qqch comme ci, quoi?
Donc, des fois, les gens les utilisent indistinctement et parfois nous ne somme pas correct.

[@devendra1956]

Bon apremidi Madame.
Yeah this one a long lesson. But you uses every second so nicely to describe everything.
Abientot.

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Try to fit everything in a "short lesson" 😉

[@stewartlloyd2648]

Ah the wonderful subjunctive in French nicely explained by Dylane ! But don't forget we have the subjunctive in English (despite many claiming we dont) such as "It is necessary that you BE (not "are") here tomorrow" which is exactly what the french statement "Il faut que tu sois ici/là demain", also "Let the force BE (not "is") with you" the difference in English is that the verb goes back to the infinitve form (i.e. BE). Second point is to notice that there are two subjects in the phase. If there is only one subject like "I want to go to Paris" then the second verb will just be in the infinitive (Je veux aller à Paris) but "I want (that) you to go to Paris" (so I am doing the "wanting" and you are doing the "going" then we could have a subjunctive and in this case we do, after vouloir que) Je veux que tu ailles à Paris. Finally don't forget that in the statement "Il faut que", that "il" is the subject of falloir (faut)

Such a struggle for many French learners :D Thank you 😉

Hi dylane, Do you have a video on differentiating between subjontif vs indicatif?
It would help alot
Thanks !!

I'm from Dominican republic
So I'm thinking about buying 2 of your books in Amazon, the one about french conjugation courses,and the one about french grammar course.
I just have one doubt
¿Does your books have keys answer at the end??..
I would love to try your books they seems very interesting so I want to be able to correct my mistakes after the exercises with the key's answers please let me know...and a million thank you.. you're the best🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

can you make another video about the subjonctif please i didn't quite understand it

I have a great video coming up with a textbook but that will take a little bit :/

Hi Teacher Dylane! You're the best in French teaching. But I'd like to tell that you should pronounce the plural s in English which is unlike in French. 🤩

I find this difficult to digest. “Use subjuctive for wishes but not when you use espère to express hope. Because that is an exception “ i am confused

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Try to remember the ones you use in your own language. That will be easier :)

[@JDC8792]

Le subjonctif est une grammaire difficile, c'est un fait certain. Cependant il faut que je l'apprenne afin d'être capable de parler le français couramment.

C'est parfait 🤩

17:40 isnt je n'arrive not arrive in english isntead of arrive?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

This is not the negation but there "ne explétif" :)

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

10:07 Madame, Shouldn't 'Il est' refer to 'He is' ? As Il means He, so why 'It' is used?

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

Because in this case it's an impersonal expression :)

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

[@marwanal-khatib6614]

hello dylane ! why can't we say " Je ne pense pas qu'il a du talen"? it's so confusing

[@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane]

We can only use the present tense after "Je pense", but after "Je ne pense pas", it's always going to be the subjunctive. Because we are not sure, so that's a doubt :)
