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

Bonjour Bienvenue at learn French with
an exam today folks we are going to
conjugate the verb dois which means to
drink in the past tense okay
I have chosen the past tense because
it's quite a complex tense now when I'm
in past I don't mean the imperfect as I
was drinking I don't mean the pre
perfect I had had drunk sorry I mean the
past tense the perfect tense the one
where I say I drank yesterday in the pub
okay so it is the past an action that
took place in the past and it's gone
over done with how do we do that in
French well you need to know by heart
how to conjugate the verb to have to
have in the present tense I have you
have he has and so on how do we do that
well it's quite simple know it by heart
j2 y una news even visa vie Ilsan and
zone if you know that by heart
and then add the past participle which
is in this case B of T drink okay B then
you will know how to say I drank you
drank and so on now one thing you need
to notice in French is that where you
can say in English I have drunk and I
drank well in French account there is
only one way of saying these two things
it's je b gr v and so on okay so be
quite aware so when I'm going to present
that to you on the chart here you will
see that I translated in two different
ways either I have drank or you drank
okay so let's have a look at how it what
it looks like really like I said you
need to know the verb to have if you do
not know the verb to have then refer
back to one of my videos on the verb to
have in the present tense right
GJ boo that means I have drunk or I
drank J boo - ah boo again you have
or drunk L do L nah the new 7d bou savy
be in zone L zone do you okay now once
you know the pattern it's not that hard
okay as I said you need to know the past
participle of these verbs usually quite
hard to but not hard to learn but you've
got to learn them okay
wha in the past participle is B then you
know that okay so it because it's a
third verb it's quite hard to retain
them okay it's an irregular verb now
let's have a look at them again remember
you need to know I have you have he has
in order to speak in the past here J to
be ill be Elna
news ever do
Mousavi be in Zone B an L so obviously I
did a year zone between in the zone l
zone because L and L ends with an S and
begins with a consonant okay so I mean
there is no two ways about it you've got
to learn it by heart you've got two
things to learn here the past participle
of the verb you are using as in wha home
Exeter our mode shapes there and the
present tense of the auxilary to have
okay if I were to put these in an
example I would say oh no I meant vowel
oh sorry
oh yeah I did actually
ill zoom l zone does not begin with the
consonant it means with a vowel
I mean begins with oh my god I'm so oh
sorry about that
okay here we go let's carry on Shibu uh
there do Oh back yeah
now I read look at this sentence Shibu
and there do Oh back yeah now JB we know
for a fact means either I have drunk oh
I drank I can say it anywhere okay but
it's in the past it's something which
happened in the past and is gone done
over with JB Avenue a glass of water
Oh back at the park yeah yesterday okay
so it's quite a mouthful actually but
have a look and try to repeat the
sentence I can be confident about that
Shibu Avenue Oh back yeah okay another
example could be news Evan boo boo qu
the van and a fete yeah
news Evan we know for a fact that news
ever be together I cannot just news that
one but news even be together means we
drank okay
beaucoup do a lot of van wine elephant
during the party at the yes tau at the
party yeah yesterday okay so you could
try to make your own sentences using the
verb to drink in the past tense when I
mean past tense we in French call it
plastic composite okay perfect tense
okay it's an action that took place in
the past and it's gone done over with we
conjugated with them do you have and add
a past participle sometimes we may
conjugate it with a verb to be but
that's another problem okay we'll deal
with it when it comes to it okay so have
a look at the list and repeat the list
and remember to know your auxiliary
verbs pretty well I teach you the
auxiliary verbs in another lesson
okay and you may want to refer back to
that
