| Bonjour tout le monde, je suis Lindsay. Welcome to another episode of Top French Words. Today, our title is 5 Sentence Patterns for Beginners. Let’s start. |
| 1. Je m'appelle... "My name is..." |
| You can use this when you introduce yourself to others. Using this pattern, you can say, |
| Je m'appelle Claude. Which means "My name is Claude." |
| 2. Je suis de... "I am from..." |
| Use this when people ask you where you are from or when you want to include it as a part of your self-introduction. |
| 3. Où est...? "Where is...?" |
| Here we have Où est...? which means "Where is...?" |
| For example, you can use it to say Où est la gare? Which means "Where is the station?" |
| It’s very useful when you are lost in France. |
| 4. J'aime... "I like..." |
| When you want to express that you like something, you can use this pattern - j'aime... |
| In French, to like and to love are both translated with the verb aimer. If you want to sound less passionate, you can add adjective bien. For example - J'aime bien le chocolat. If chocolate is really your thing, you can say - J'adore le chocolat. |
| Adorer is a verb we can translate as “to love” or “to adore”. In the sentence, you can say, J'aime le chocolat to mean "I like chocolate." |
| 5. Je n'aime pas... "I don't like..." |
| You can use this pattern when you want to express that you don’t like something. |
| For example, you can say, |
| Je n'aime pas les choux de Bruxelles. Which means, "I don't like Brussels sprouts." |
| That’s all for today. Merci for watching and I will see you next time. A bientôt. |
