Key Grammar Structures
-
Sortez les armes à feu, sortez les armes
➔ Imperative (vous form), Noun phrase 'armes à feu'
➔ Use of the **imperative** verb form ('Sortez') for commands or instructions, here in the formal 'vous' form. Also, the noun phrase "armes à feu" ('firearms') is a common construction where "à feu" specifies the type of weapon.
-
J'ai trop mis mes lunettes, j'ai mal aux yeux
➔ Passé Composé (with 'avoir'), Adverb 'trop', Idiomatic expression 'avoir mal à'
➔ Two main points: the **Passé Composé** with the auxiliary "avoir" for past actions ('J'ai mis'), and the idiomatic expression "**avoir mal à**" (to have pain in/on a part of the body), here "aux yeux" (in the eyes). The adverb "trop" (too much) quantifies the action.
-
J'suis venu régler tous mes contentieux
➔ Passé Composé (with 'être' for verbs of movement), Infinitive after a semi-auxiliary verb
➔ This sentence uses the **Passé Composé** with the auxiliary "être" because "venir" is a verb of movement. Following "venir" is an **infinitive** verb ('régler'), indicating the purpose of coming. "J'suis" is a common colloquial contraction of "Je suis".
-
On n'est pas du genre à se faire menacer
➔ Negative construction 'ne...pas', Idiomatic phrase 'du genre à', Causative/passive verb 'se faire + infinitive'
➔ This sentence features the standard **negative construction "ne...pas"**. The idiomatic phrase "**être du genre à**" (to be the type to) is used. Furthermore, "**se faire + infinitive**" is a causative or passive construction meaning "to have oneself (something) done" or "to get (something) done to oneself".
-
Chargé, chargé, chargé
➔ Past participle used as an adjective
➔ The word "**Chargé**" is the past participle of the verb "charger" (to load/charge). Here, it is used as an **adjective** to describe a state, meaning "loaded" or "charged".
-
La Calaf 380 à côté de moi
➔ Prepositional phrase 'à côté de'
➔ "**À côté de**" is a common **prepositional phrase** meaning "next to" or "beside". It's used to indicate the location or proximity of something or someone.
-
Ma chéri ne me paniquez pas
➔ Subject-verb disagreement (imperative), Informal usage/common error
➔ This line shows a common **grammatical error** in informal French. "Ma chéri" (my dear, singular, implying 'tu' form) is addressed, but the verb "**paniquez**" is in the 'vous' imperative form. It should be "ne me panique pas" to match the singular, informal address.
-
J'ai sortis les 9mm ils sont courir
➔ Auxiliary verb error in Passé Composé + Incorrect verb form after motion verb
➔ This line contains two **grammatical inaccuracies**. "J'ai sortis" should be "J'ai sorti" (past participle agreement with 'avoir' for direct objects placed *after* the verb is incorrect here). More importantly, "**ils sont courir**" is incorrect; it should be "ils ont couru" (they ran) or "je les ai fait courir" (I made them run). This highlights common mistakes with auxiliary verbs and verb forms after motion verbs in informal speech.
