Conjugaison du verbe ALLER ( au présent de l’indicatif » « je vais, tu vas, il -elle- on va, nous allons, vous allez, ils vont, elles vont»

Use of Present Conditional

The conditional is a mood, which means that it serves to express the attitude or impression of the speaker. The present conditional is used in three main contexts:

1. With certain verbs to indicate politeness:

Je voudrais la carte, s’il vous plaît. (I would like the menu, please.)
Auriez-vous deux minutes? (Would you have a couple of minutes?)

2. To express “the future of the past.” Compare the regular future (as used in direct discourse) with the future of the past (used in indirect discourse):

Direct discourse: Elle a dit, “je viendrai à la fête.” (She said, “I will come to the party.”)
Indirect discourse: Elle a dit qu’elle viendrait à la fête. (She said she would come to the party.)

3. In si constructions expressing possible or hypothetical situations. These sentences follow a relatively inflexible pattern entailing a “si-clause” and a “result clause”:

“Si + imperfect” followed by “present conditional”
Si j’avais le temps, je ferais mes devoirs. (If I had the time, I would do my homework.)

Reflexive verbs in French are verbs which mean an action done to oneself, for example, laver means 'to wash', but se laver means 'to get washed' or literally ‘to wash oneself’.
Reflexive verbs follow the normal formation patterns and many are regular -er verbs. They just have an extra pronoun.

Here’s an example with se laver in the present tense:

French English
Je me lave I wash myself
Tu te laves You wash yourself
Il/elle/on se lave He washes himself/she washes herself/we wash ourselves
Nous nous lavons We wash ourselves
Vous vous lavez You wash yourselves
Ils/elles se lavent They wash themselves
Remember that me, te, se become m', t', s' before a vowel ( source BBC)

Les articles partitifs
There are four types of partitive article in French, du, de la, de l’, and des, used to specify unknown quantities. These correspond to ‘some’ or ‘any’, which are often omitted in English. Choosing which one to use depends on the gender, number and first letter of the noun that follows.
- Qu’est-ce que vous voulez manger ? - Du poulet et de la salade.
-What do you want to eat? -(Some) chicken and (some) salad please.
Aujourd’hui, il y a de la pluie et du soleil.
Today, there is some rain, and some sun.
