Key Grammar Structures
-
À l'aube de l'an 2000, Pour les jeunes c'est plus le même deal
➔ Impersonal 'c'est' followed by adjective + 'de' + noun.
➔ The phrase 'c'est plus le même deal' uses the impersonal 'c'est' to express that things are no longer the same. 'c'est' functions as an introductory phrase followed by a description. Here the structure is: "c'est + plus + adjective + de + noun".
-
Seule issue la rue même quand elle est en sang
➔ Ellipsis and word order inversion for emphasis.
➔ The typical word order would be 'La seule issue est la rue...' The inversion and omission create a more dramatic effect.
-
C'est ça que tu veux pour ton fils?
➔ Cleft sentence with 'c'est...que'.
➔ The structure 'c'est + X + que' is used to emphasize a specific part of the sentence (in this case, 'ça'). The basic sentence being transformed is 'Tu veux ça pour ton fils?'.
-
Regarde-le, quand il te parle, écoute-le
➔ Imperative with pronominal verbs and object pronouns.
➔ 'Regarde-le' and 'écoute-le' are imperatives (commands) with the object pronoun attached. The object pronouns 'le' refer to 'ton fils'. In French, pronouns typically precede the verb, but in the imperative affirmative, they are attached to the end with a hyphen.
-
Putain, c'est en me disant "j'ai jamais demandé à t'avoir"...
➔ Gerund ('en + present participle') expressing manner or means.
➔ The phrase 'c'est en me disant' uses the gerund ('en disant') to explain how the speaker came to a realization. It means 'it is by saying to myself'. The gerund shows the way the speaker reached that point.
-
Que voulais-tu que ton fils apprenne dans la rue?
➔ Subjunctive mood after verbs expressing will, desire, or emotion ('vouloir que').
➔ Because the sentence contains the verb 'vouloir' (to want) followed by 'que', it necessitates the use of the subjunctive mood for the subsequent verb ('apprenne'). The subjunctive is used to express subjectivity, doubt, or emotion.
