French Grammar Explained /
To do - How to use the verb "faire"
You look like a fit person to me!
Hey, merci ! I am glad you noticed because I like doing sport, I do yoga on Monday, swimming on Tuesday, ba...
Very well but I would be more interested if you could say that in French!
...fine!
You will be so happy because the verb I am going to present you is going to level up your French:
| FAIRE |
|---|---|
je | fais |
tu | fais |
il/elle/on | fait |
nous | faisons |
vous | faites |
ils/elles | font |
FAIRE ⇒ to do
BUT...
faire de la natation
⇒ Literally: "to do swimming" and not "to go swimming".
So... Je fais yoga ?
Hum almost, see "faire" is always followed by "de" -> faire de...
Je fais de la danse.
I am doing dance.
Je fais de l'escalade.
I am doing rock-climbing.
Je fais du yoga.
I am doing yoga.
Je fais des claquettes.
I am doing tap-dancing.
So... je fais de la natation ?
Je fais de même ! 😌
Euh... quoi ?
Haha, it means "me as well" (lit. "I do the same")... je fais de l'humour.
Aaaa this has to end!
