FYW 210 : “Si” clauses in French: structures and examples
Many students of French worry about not getting the tenses of their verbs right when they use “si” clauses in French. As a result, I decided to make the structures of the sentences very explicit in this episode, with lots of examples in order to alleviate these worries. If you speak English fluently, you’ll notice that French “si” clauses are actually no different from English!
Vocabulary and Spelling of the French Words mentioned in this episode
S’il fait chaud, tu dois boire beaucoup d’eau.
Si je ne peux pas travailler, je suis frustrée !
S’il fait chaud, buvez beaucoup d’eau.
Si tu as une question, demande-moi !
Si tu n’as pas faim, ne te force pas !
Si tu continues à sauter sur le lit, tu vas tomber !
Si les sondages ont raison, il sera élu président.
S’il est élu président, les choses vont enfin changer !
Si je gagnais au loto, j’achèterais une voiture de sport.
Si j’étais un animal, je serais un oiseau pour pouvoir voler.
Si j’étais une couleur, je serais le rouge.
Qu’est-ce que vous feriez si tu étais à ma place ?
Si j’étais toi, je lui présenterais mes excuses.
Si j’avais su, j’aurais pas venu (je ne serais pas venu).
Si tu m’avais dit que tu étais à l’hôpital, je t’aurais envoyé des fleurs.
S’il m’avait prévenu qu’il y avait grève, je ne me serais pas levé pour rien.
