If there is one thing that drives me kind of nuts, then it is learning French verbs. I mean, what is the logic of changing your verb each time not only for:
- present,
- past and
- future (that’s 3 times),
but also 6 differences for:
- I
- you
- he
- we
- you
- they
3 times 6: that’s 18 different verb forms already.
That’s manageable you would say, but then for future you have you will versus you would…. yes, the list is endless!
So how to I manage learning French verbs? By speaking as much French as possible and asking people to correct me each time I make a mistake. In the beginning that meant I got interrupted after each syllable
But now it’s getting much better.
An other quite boring way is to list the verbs and try to study them by heart. Quite useless I find because: what is the idea of knowing all by heart if you don’t have a clue when to use the verbs?
Practice makes the master as usual, similar when it comes to learning French verbs.
