Pouvoir (to be able to) — Past Tense (French verbs conjugated by Learn French With Alexa) Video Lecture | Learn French Language: Step by Step Tutorial for Beginners

let's conjugate the verb pouvoir in the
basic on posi okay folks I have chosen
pouvoir because it's one of those are
highly irregular verbs okay now check
the version on the present tense and the
future tense it's been posted already
but now let's concentrate on the Betsy
compose in pouvoir in the basic
composite basically we would like to say
I was able to okay or when you don't
prove on is to be able to okay we're in
English you have to and be able to in
French you have only one word which is
pouvoir okay so let's have a look at
that and I can see how confusing it can
be to non French speakers now we would
like to use this in a basic on Buzzi an
action that took place and is gone done
over with what you need to know when you
form a basic composite and have said
that so many times before is that you
need an auxiliary verb which is either
to have or to be okay in that case for
poverty have again in the present tense
and add to it what we call the past
participle you need you need to know
pouvoir in a past participle okay you
need to learn it by heart there is no
secret about that it's quite an easy one
pouvoir in a past participle is poop
Pete you okay poop I know it's madness
okay it doesn't sound anything like
pouvoir but it started with a P if that
makes things better okay so poo is added
to our box hillary verbs verb i've
worked in the present tense so here we
go you need to know how to say i have
and then being able to okay which will
poop which would be p so i have his j.j
poop i was able to okay i was able to
jp2
ah poop you we're able to to a P so if
you know how to conjugate the auxiliary
to having present tense then Bob is your
oyster is it Bob or George John is your
oyster can't remember now Shibu to a poo
eel ah
pl ah - new Zevon poo okay we were able
to again you need to know by heart to
say ever in the present tense oh

P okay was a VP you were able to that's
the plural version of the more formal
version of you and in zone poo they
wearable to L some poo they were able to
and this is the feminine plural version
of there
okay now let's have a look at them again
and let's slow down a minute me Abin it
minute so can you repeat what I say JP
rival to a poo rival ill a poop treyvion
L P baffle nappy loser vamp you try bein
a vu z vp Bobby see mo it is on poop and
else on poop well done now have a look
again it's not hard really what I would
like you to do is try to find the highly
regular verbs in French it's as fair fan
pouvoir and Avril and ed and so on all
these verbs have been conjugated by me
on YouTube ok on my youtube channel so
check them out and have a look with at
what their past participle
because that will save you when you come
to France okay we might not understand
what you mean if you are not using the
right past participle because that means
we won't know whether you're talking in
the past or what tenses you're using
okay so have a look at this let's have a
look at this example here
no devil Pooh alley Oh cinema yeah
suave now new Zevon Pooh is what we're
concentrating on today news even food we
we're able to go alley or cinema to the
cinema yeah yesterday
sois evening so read it out loud with me
new Zevon Pooh alley
Oh cinema yes well okay
you sound Frenchman you're good okay
the other example ill up you Joey
Oh tennis lotsa men Danielle now illa
pure he was able to and by the way LP
does not exist
oh yes that it does it means his things
okay
that's that's another lesson completely
okay ela p suea
Oh tennis lesson and Dania he was able
to play Joey okay Oh tennis tennis la
semaine Dania the week last as in the
last week okay remember that the
adjective always comes mostly after the
noun okay and by the way when I say
Allah Joey he was able to play
don't try to translate to play because
Joey itself is an infinitive already it
doesn't come with a little word to
before that okay now that's my examples
I would like you to try and make your
own sentences because guess what I
always try to correct your sentences if
you've noticed
okay now refer back to the other
conjugating verbs that I have already
conjugated and I've conjugated quite a
few and get used to them get
is the past participial especially for
the irregular verbs such as pouvoir to
be able to that's it for me I hope to
