    Future tense French I am confused in the construction of the imperative command in French. I think I understand that in the present tense if you use the imperative in the positive sense such as " put it here " then the pronoun follows the verb " metez le ici "and in the negative sense " don't put it here" then the pronoun comes before the verb " ne le metez pas ici . But is this the same for using the future tense "will put it here " and " will not put it here" Sorry if this is obvious but I can't figure it out from the Michel Thomas course I have used so far to learn from . Many Thanks for any help

    Des = some ? Hi , I am confused as to why you might use des in the following sentence " Everything is sold" so in French becomes Tous DES vendu but why as I thought Des stands for SOME , I thought the translation should be Tous chose est vendu

    DIfference between LES and EUX

    HI , I wonder if anyone can tell me when to use the Eux or Les . I am confused regarding the difference .

    I understand the position of Leur but not sure of the difference between eux / les in respect of "them"

    E.g I am going to send the money to them 

    je vais envoyer L'argent a eux  ,,,, but why is it eux and not Les ?


    Thanks for any help with this

    Hi Andrey from what I know then there is NO aming areing or ising in French . By that I mean IAM doING something .That is an example of using the am with a verb ending in a ing action . So IAM speakING becomes,,, I speak , Je Parle . You aRE speakING becomes ,,, you speak ,, Vous Parlez .She IS speakING becomes ,,, she speaks ,, Elle Parle . It seams in French they are much more direct in the way they say things . You are correct I think in your assumptions that I AM beING serious , becomes I am serious I hope that does not confuse you too much , sorry if it does , but it is how I was taught by Michele Thomas
