Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
You cannot have « nous avez » if « nous » here is a subject pronoun
Each conjugation is fixed to their subjects so you can never have mixing like « j’avons nous ai, il avez, tu ont »
That being said, French object pronouns are placed before their verbs so if you see something like « vous nous avez (you have us) » that can work
So if i want to say we have black jackets do i use say Nous avons noir blousons
As in plurals
Nous avons des blousons noirs yeah
Is des necessary?
First off, French nouns are almost always accompanied by an article
Second, most adjectives – colour included – are after the noun
Yes
la pomme = the apple (we all know which apple it is, it's a specific type)
une pomme = an apple (it's just one apple and is not specific so can be any type)
des pommes = some apples (there's more than one apple but we don't know exactly how many)
Yeah, just means that you have an uncertain but plural amount of jackets
'some' is the English translation
'We have some black jackets'
it's just that this can be dropped in English, and you'll find that French is rather 'strict' whereas English can be loose with the rules
İ see
How can I make change sentences to making plural for example tu as un jean blue?
well what are you turning plural
if it's the object, you can turn the noun plural which will make the article and adjective change to agree with that
if it's the subject, you can turn the subject plural which will make the conjugation turn to agree
This
I don't even know which one you're thinking about
Oh number 4
Yeah that'll just be the objects
When you see « un/une », just think of « des » in plural form
So i only change un/une to des?
adjectives agree too
so they change
ex
« J'ai une chaussure verte / J'ai des chaussures vertes »
Which translates to you have blue jeans
well my example is 'I have a green shoe / I have some green shoes'
Adjectives in English don't agree but French ones do
I see okay thank you very much
« Je vois une maison verte »
« Je vois des maisons vertes »
« Je vois un drapeau vert »
« Je vois des drapeaux verts »
Notice how « vert » changes according to the number and gender of the noun it modifies
maison (feminine singular) = verte (feminine singular)
maisons (feminine plural) = vertes (feminine plural)
drapeau (masculine singular) = vert (masculine singular)
drapeaux (masculine plural) = verts (masculine plural)
It can be
So Tu as un jean bleu changes to Tu as des jean bleue
« Tu es très belle »
des jeans bleus
As the s plural
« jean » is a masculine noun
bleu = masculine singular
bleus = masculine plural
bleue = feminine singular
bleues = feminine plural
The noun has to change as well
Oh and S pluralisation is not a given
Okay
So il a une chemise jaun=he has a yellow shirt if i want to make this plural I make the sentence Il a des chemises jauns?
The adjective is wrong
« jaune » is how you spell it
Some adjectives already end in E and so their masculine/feminine forms will be the same
Yeah forgot the e
« des chaussures jaunes / des portables jaunes »
you gotta be careful man
Than it makes it jaunes
yup
It’s difficult especially if there is no fundamental
that's why you try and take it slow
it's a foreign language
it'll contain things unfamiliar to you
take it slow and be careful
vous nous avez trompé !
