The Big Three (grammar drilling starts here)
Vous voulez faire de la grammaire? D’accord, je vous aide. Vous savez, d’ailleurs, que je ne suis pas fan d’exercices type ‘scolaires’, et qu’une approche ‘lexicale’ est plus efficace. Disons qu’il faut faire de la grammaire, mais d’une façon utile, c’est à dire, dans des phrases qu’on peut utiliser tous les jours, et pas dans des phrases articifielles, comme ‘My tailor is rich’. Je vous conseille d’apprendre les temps anglais, et commencant avec ceux que j’appelle ‘the big three’, les trois les plus importants, ainsi que des phrases et des expressions pertinantes à vous. C’est le mariage parfait entre des compétences de base et le langage ‘prêt à porter’.
Voici ‘the Big Three’:
1. The present simple (I have, I go, I see etc).
2. The past simple (I had, I went, I saw etc)
3. The future (simple) (I will have, I will go, I will see)
Le futur en anglais n’est pas un vrai, ‘pur’ temps, il n’y pas de conjugaison – le verb ne change pas, et on utilise le même auxiliaire pour chaque person.
Il faut apprendre beaucoup de verbes afin de bien vous exprimer, ça, c’est une evidence. Sur le site, donc, je vais vous faire apprendre des verbes dans ces trois temps. A suivre…

Françoise,
another problem with music on youtube is the fact that not all countries have signed an agreement for royalty rights. this means that depending on where you live, you may not be able to hear the sound on the videos. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, there is nothing I can do about it. You may be able to find the song on legal internet music players like Deezer, but I can’t guarantee it (the law is the law)
