Key Grammar Structures
-
Ça y est, ils ont fait sauter la tour Eiffel
➔ Passé Composé (compound past)
➔ Uses the auxiliary verb "avoir" + past participle to express a completed action in the past. "Ils ont fait sauter" means "they blew up."
-
On pensait pas qu'ils oseraient mais le mal est fait
➔ Subjunctive Mood (imperfect subjunctive)
➔ "Oseraient" is the conditional of "oser" (to dare). The implication is disbelief that they would do such a thing. The phrase "Le mal est fait" means "the damage is done".
-
Comment on a pu en arriver là?
➔ Use of "pouvoir" in the past (Passé Composé) with the infinitive to express ability or possibility in the past
➔ "On a pu" expresses a capability or possibility in the past. The whole sentence translates to "How could we have gotten here?"
-
J'veille sur la famille, c'est vrai, nos parents s'font vieux
➔ Reflexive verb in present tense
➔ "S'font vieux" (se font vieux) means "are getting old." This is a reflexive construction that's very common when talking about aging or changes in condition.
-
Paraît qu'ils exécutent des gens place du Capitole
➔ Impersonal construction with "paraître" + subjunctive mood
➔ "Paraît que" (it seems that) introduces something heard second-hand. Although "paraître" doesn't always require the subjunctive, in this context (uncertain information) it strengthens the sense of rumor or unverified fact.
-
Certains ont mis toute leur maison au fond d'un petit sac
➔ Partitive Article (implied) and past indefinite (Passé Composé)
➔ While not explicitly stated, there's an implied "de" (of) before "toute leur maison", indicating a partitive sense. "Ont mis" is the passé composé, indicating a completed action in the past.
-
On veut pas être là-bas, on veut juste être autre part
➔ Use of "vouloir" + infinitive to express a desire
➔ "On veut être" is the conjugated form of "vouloir" (to want) followed by the infinitive "être" (to be). This structure is used to express a desire or intention.
-
Si ils avaient un minimum d'honneur, ils retourneraient dans leur pays
➔ Conditional sentence type 2 (Si clause with imperfect subjunctive + conditional)
➔ This is a hypothetical situation in the present. "avaient" is the imperfect subjunctive of "avoir," and "retourneraient" is the conditional of "retourner." It expresses something that is unlikely to happen.
