Key Grammar Structures
-
Ce matin j'imagine un dessin sans nuage
➔ Subjunctive mood after expressions of imagination/desire (implicit 'que')
➔ The sentence expresses an imagined scenario. While not explicit, the 'j'imagine' implies a 'que' (that) clause, which would require the subjunctive mood if fully expressed as 'J'imagine *qu'il y ait* un dessin...' . However, the sentence is shortened.
-
Avec quelques couleurs comme vient mon pinceau
➔ Use of 'comme' to indicate a way or manner
➔ 'Comme' functions similarly to 'the way' or 'as' in English. It indicates the manner in which the colours appear: just like the way the paintbrush comes.
-
Où tous les perroquets ne vivent plus en cage
➔ Negative adverb 'plus' (no longer)
➔ 'Ne... plus' expresses the cessation of an action or state. In this sentence, it indicates that the parrots *no longer* live in cages.
-
Car c'est comme ça que j'imagine un monde parfait
➔ Cleft sentence with 'c'est... que'
➔ This sentence uses a cleft structure to emphasize part of the sentence. Here, it emphasizes that *this is the way* she imagines a perfect world. It highlights the manner.
-
Et ce soir je m'endors au pays des merveilles
➔ Reflexive verb 's'endormir'
➔ 'S'endormir' is a reflexive verb, meaning the action of falling asleep is performed on oneself. It requires the reflexive pronoun 'me'.
-
Quand ça me plaît plus j'efface tout et je reçommence
➔ The use of 'plus' alone in negative sentences (informal)
➔ Normally, in French, negation is expressed with 'ne... plus'. However, in informal speech, 'ne' is often dropped. Therefore, 'ça me plaît plus' means 'it doesn't please me anymore' (formally 'ça ne me plaît plus').
-
je fais ce qu'il me plaît
➔ Relative pronoun "ce que"
➔ 'Ce que' functions as a relative pronoun that introduces a noun clause functioning as the object. In this sentence, it is "what pleases me".
