21 CardsLesson#1
In French, the conditional tense, or 'le conditionnel présent', is used to soften statements. It's perfect for expressing wishes, making polite requests, giving advice, and making suggestions, making your speech sound more natural and less direct.
Lesson#2
Let's start with wishes. You can use the verbs 'aimer', to like, and 'vouloir', to want, in the conditional to talk about things you'd like to do or have. For example, 'J'aimerais partir' means 'I would like to leave'. It's a gentler way of expressing a desire.
Quiz#3
Translate into French: 'I would like to leave.'
J'aimerais partir.
Quiz#4
Translate into French: 'I would like a coffee, please.'
Je voudrais un café, s'il vous plaît.
Quiz#5
Using the casual form of 'we', translate into French: 'We would like to travel more.'
On aimerait voyager plus.
Quiz#6
Translate into French: 'She would like to see the sea.'
Elle voudrait voir la mer.
