Course Description

Welcome to course 9 :-)

This course is the ninth in the 3 Minute French series, and it consists of lessons 72 to 80.

In this course, we're going back to the present perfect tense, and we're going to look at a group of verbs that don't use avoir as their auxiliary verb. These verbs are called the Verbs of Movement, and they use être as their auxiliary verb instead.

By using être as an auxiliary verb, it means there are a couple of extra things to consider when conjugating the verbs of movement into the past tense.

In course 9, we're going to be looking at some infintive carriers (that just means verbs that you can put other verbs after) in the past tense. You'll notice they don't use the same past tense that we've been learning, though; they have their own form. We'll also be looking at these infinitive carriers in the present tense as well. Specifically, the verb savoir, which means to know has some differences in how it's used in French to how it's used in English, so we'll be exploring that.

In this course, we're going to be exploring the world of structures even further as we look at the third and fourth structures in French.

We're going to be going back to that unusual phrase ce que that we touched upon in the last course, and we'll be comparing it to other ways of saying what in French. The words que, quel and ce que can all be translated into English as what, but what are the differences and how do we know when to use each one?

Whilst we're on the topic of quel, we'll be looking at its variants: quelle, quels and quelles. As well as this question word, we'll be looking at some other question words that have different variants depending on what comes after them.

So, let's get on and learn some more French with 3 Minute French - Course 9. I hope you enjoy!

Comprehensive study for basic French conversations. Recommended!

By Jhoana Ramirez on 7/22/2025

i love to learn new languages and this is an good opportunity

By Muhammad Raffay on 7/4/2025

Excellent as always!!! Why don't these chapters contain recap notes at the end of each chapter just like in all the past courses (from 1 to 8) ? Please put them as these are really useful and easy to go through instead of watching the whole chapter.

By John Bryntze on 8/15/2023

Followed course 1-8, and 9 is as excellent as the previous, well done!

By Joe McMahon on 6/12/2023

I have found the courses very easy to follow, with the exception of the middle part of course 8 which I found extremely difficult. I think too much complex material was crammed into too few lessons. A change in the structure of this particular section would help. I lost track of the number of times I had to revisit the complex areas of course 8. Course 9, on the other hand, is refreshingly uncomplicated so far.

I do find it a really good program and my vocabulary is much greater than before. I type in French to our Paris office at work now

I can easily comprehend and enjoy learning!

By Ramsainath S on 4/9/2022

Comment is only my opinion. I joined this because of this learning method. 3 minutes every day is perfect way to learn in this busy days. Internet era has made man not to be slow, simple and enjoy the simple yet subtle things in this life. 3 minutes learning is simple reminder to original way of life but effective in doing learning. First of all, it makes to learn daily and secondly, i enjoy learning and third of all, its the simple way of things i.e being to learn or speak or understand or to do anything in life. Like how a kid learn in school. Hope the trainer gives queue cards also in the form of pdf. That's my only wish but the course is already extremely better. Hope to see more offline videos from trainer in youtube. Particularly i enjoyed the youtube videos on Days,Month and Year.

Les cours offrent une perspective vraiment utile pour l’étudiant de français. Bien joué, Kieran

By Shahrukh Azim Butt on 10/15/2021

Cette course est parfait parce que maintenant I peux faire une conversation avec tout le monde en Francais. Mais aussi, listening and formation of sentences is still a little slow. Practice makes perfect!
