Comment ça va ?
Ça va
... I am getting ready for the weekend: I am wearing a very cosy outfit and I am playing video games!
Je suis content·e que
tu
portes
des vêtements confortables...
I'm happy you're wearing comfortable clothes...
mais
je ne suis pas sûr·e que
les jeux vidéos
soient
la meilleure façon de passer un weekend !
...but I'm not sure videos games are the best way to spend your weekend!
Are you talking to me in
subjonctif
??
Haha oui !
Je suis ravi·e que
tu
remarques
!
**blasé**
We've already seen that
le subjonctif
is used to express your
feelings
, but it can also be used for many other things.
Great...
...but let's focus on expressing
opinion
here:
Je ne pense pas que...
Je ne suis pas certain·e que...
Je ne suis pas persuadé·e que...
Je ne suis pas sûr·e que...
Je ne crois pas que...
Je doute que...
All of these sentences, used to express an opinion in French, will trigger a verb conjugated in the subjunctive.
Quoi ?!
But that's too much to remember!
Pas de panique !
We'll practice together until you remember them all.
Hmph...
Je ne suis pas persuadé·e que
nous
ayons
une healthy relationship!
