Key Grammar Structures
-
N'existe pas sans son contraire qui lui semble facile à trouver
➔ Relative clause with 'qui'
➔ The word "qui" introduces a relative clause, meaning 'who' or 'which'. It refers back to "son contraire" and describes it. The phrase 'qui lui semble facile à trouver' modifies 'son contraire'.
-
Enfin, je commence à douter d'en avoir vraiment rêvé
➔ Indirect object pronoun 'en' referring to 'bonheur', verb construction 'commencer à + infinitive', perfect infinitive 'avoir rêvé'
➔ 'En' replaces 'de cela' and refers to the concept of 'rêvé'. 'Commencer à douter' means 'to begin to doubt'. 'Avoir rêvé' is the perfect infinitive, indicating that the dreaming happened before the doubting.
-
Le spleen n'est plus à la mode, c'est pas compliqué d'être heureux
➔ Negative construction 'ne...plus', impersonal 'c'est' + adjective + 'de' + infinitive
➔ 'N'est plus' means 'is no longer'. 'C'est pas compliqué d'être heureux' translates to 'It's not complicated to be happy'. The 'c'est' phrase introduces a general statement.
-
Tout, il faudrait tout oublier
➔ Conditional mood ('il faudrait'), pronoun repetition (Tout... tout)
➔ 'Il faudrait' is the conditional form of 'il faut', meaning 'it would be necessary'. The repetition of 'tout' emphasizes the totality of what needs to be forgotten.
-
On joue, mais là, j'ai trop joué
➔ Compound past tense 'j'ai joué', adverb 'trop' modifying the verb.
➔ 'J'ai trop joué' means 'I have played too much'. 'Trop' indicates an excess of playing.
-
Une jeunesse pleine de sentiments
➔ Adjective phrase: 'pleine de' + noun
➔ "pleine de" (full of) followed by a noun to create an adjective phrase that modifies another noun. In this instance, it describes the youth: a youth full of feelings.
-
Oublie qu'elle t'a blessé, oublie qu'il t'a trompé
➔ Subjunctive mood (implied), indirect speech, past indefinite (t'a blessé, t'a trompé)
➔ The use of 'oublie que' implicitly suggests a subjunctive mood, as it expresses a command or suggestion. 'Qu'elle t'a blessé' and 'qu'il t'a trompé' are examples of indirect speech, reporting the content of what should be forgotten. 'T'a blessé' and 'T'a trompé' are passé composé. Oublie + que + declarative sentence
