Hey everyone I need some good French help here:


I am really getting confused on the Subjonctif and the Indicatif forms, even when I do know how to separate them:

Worries
Emotions
Impersonal Phrases
Relative Clauses
Doubts
Orders
Superlatives

But how can I remember to seperate it as subjonctif passe compose/future or indicatif passe compose/future. Plus I don't remember what the ending becomes after all that. Please help thanks.

I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is.

The thing about working with French for me is, I gotta need to know what I'm doing in English, and I can't understand anything you just said. I didn't even know the word "Subjonctif" existed woeh.gif

I'll get to you later today, I admit french verbs suck.
A few examples to get you started

Verbe être

Passé composé indicatif

J'ai été
Tu as été
Il as été
Nous avons été
Vous avez été
Ils ont été

Indicatif futur

Je serai
Tu seras
Il sera
Nous serons
Vous serez
Ils seront

Indicatif is the basic form, the one you'll use most of the time.

Now by comparison, subjonctif is kinda odd, it's introduced by "que".

Present:
Il faut que je sois
que tu sois
qu'il soit
que nous soyons
que vous soyez
qu'ils soient

Passé composé, here the endings of the auxiliary (avoir) mark the subjonctif, it's the only form (subjonctif) where "ai" gets something at the end

Il faut que j'aie été
que tu aies été
qu'il ait été
que nous ayons été
que vous ayez été
qu'ils aient été

Anyhow, the endings you have to learn, there's no secret :s

Worries: "I should be going to the war" : "Il faudrait que j'aille à la guerre" (subjonctif présent)
Emotions : "I love WG" : "J'aime WG" (Indicatif présent)
Impersonal Phrases "It's raining" : "Il pleut" Indicatif présent
Relative Clauses "The war that WG won was hard ": "La guerre que WG a gagné était dure" (indicatif passé composé, indicatif imparfait)
Doubts : "I doubt that WG will be defeated" : "Je doute que WG sera vaincu" (Subjonctif futur)
Orders : "Come to the war, bitch" : "Viens à la guere, pute" Impératif
Superlatives : "WG is the best":"WG est le meilleur" indicatif présent
