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!

@marieldavidson4040 3 years ago

I went to 10 years of french school, and no one... NO ONE has ever explained it this well to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

@meera3322 3 years ago

french learners relax, i am a native french myself and i have to watch this for a basic french test at school lol

@lindab5789 4 years ago

I had 4 years of French and never properly understood some of the tenses. This explanation using the timeline is so helpful! Thank you!

Two years ago i was trying to rob a house , and i saw a cat watching your video . 5mins in the cat said Bonjour!,very impressive. That day i stole the cat and started my own French teaching class today the cat teaches French to my students.

I've been struggling to 'hear' the difference in pronunciation e.g. mangez, manger, mangeais, mangé. So frustrating!

But this presentation has shown me that it is irrelevant in spoken language.
So, now if I hear je mange-ay, it can't be je manger, nor je mangez, nor mangé. So it must be je mangeais. I just need to remember the conjugation. Ah. Simple! Merci beaucoup!

I left the video to do my law assignment, but my cat stayed and she now knows the French verbs and tenses, so thank you very much!

I am English and what really annoys me about English schools is that we always learned more about English grammar in foreign language lessons than we did in English lessons. If they had taught grammar in English lessons, maybe we would have found language learning a little easier,

@haleyzerr6245 2 years ago

I learned more about English grammar during my high school French classes than I ever did from my English teachers. 🤷‍♀️

@Zach-rk7rw 2 years ago

Didnt even understand these tenses in english which made it harder at school. Thanks for clarifying!

@davidcalderwood4131 3 years ago

Merci. J’ai commencé mes études de français il y a 40 ans et j’ai développé un amour pour la langue.

@jovibaby 3 years ago

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!!!

This timeline is incredibly useful. As I study French, I refer back to this timeline. As a visual learner, it helps tremendously to be able to SEE the relationship between the different tenses. Thank you for putting this together.

Native French speaker here. I always hated having to remember the names of all those verb tenses at school and my brain dumped that information as soon as I left school. Once you are familiar enough with the language you can use all of those tenses intuitively without ever knowing their proper names.

@billthompson4718 1 year ago

Mon dieu! I have just moved to Quebec and am learning French. NO ONE explained all these conjugations like you just did. Absolutely brilliant and thank you !

@quirky_bookworm 4 years ago

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.

@recalled4525 4 years ago

I am a french native speaker from Canada and i have to say that i'vr never had a teacher explain tenses that well to me, good job Alexa!!

@onyeenoma 3 years ago (edited)

You explained something my teachers could not explain for years within a few minutes. Thank you

@ThomasRobinson-s1i 2 years ago (edited)

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 currently doing a French course in Military. It is 3 hrs a day for 2.5 months. We learn all grammar in French. So, basically, what you see is what you learn....without really understanding it. We don't get English translation to go with the rule of grammar. This was very useful. Thanks for sharing a visual explanation ....it was very helpful.
