Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Yes/no questions in the past tense are formed by inversion, asking 'est-ce que' or using intonation, as in the present.
- To negate in the perfect tense, put 'ne' and 'pas/jamais' around the auxiliary verb (part of 'avoir' or 'être').
- T-liaison is common in inversion questions in the perfect tense, e.g., 'A-t-il gagné ?'. This eases pronunciation.
- When transcribing, it's important to think about liaison and where one word ends and another begins.
Keywords
Inversion - when the subject pronoun and verb switch place to form a question
Negation - two elements, e.g., 'ne … pas', around the main verb expressing negative meaning
T-liaison - the pronounced -t- between the subject pronoun and verb in perfect tense inversion questions
Common misconception
The second element of the negative structure goes after the past participle when forming past tense phrases.
The second element of the negative structure is always placed after the auxiliary verb and before the past participle. This requires practice as students are likely to misapply the negative structure learned with present tense.
