FYW 180 : Understanding the preposition DE (3/3): verbs using a preposition


Listen Later

Is there a logic to know whether a French verb works with the preposition DE, the preposition A, another preposition…or no preposition at all? This is a major struggle from students of French. Here’s the answer, along with my tips about how to learn the structures. We’ll also talk about the form of the verbs after a preposition.

All these aspects are essential to your French grammar skills, so make sure you listen to this episode carefully! I also encourage you to participate and reuse what you’ve learnt at the end of the episode.

    parler de = to talk about

    avoir peur DE = to be afraid of

    j’ai peur d’E.T / peur de Paul / peur de notre voisin / peur du Père Noël (le Père Noël) / peur des docteurs (de + les) / peur des extraterrestres (de + les), de l’orage, de la foule (agoraphobie)
