I think this is a good audio lesson. I chanced upon your video as I wanted to revise this topic for a test. It covered most of this particular topic which i've learnt in school and the explanations were clear. Do you follow a textbook as you construct your online tutorials?

@89myking Hey there, I do not follow any particular textbook. (I've learned to be weary of some of their [lengthy] grammatical explanations. What I do is synthesize everything I was taught during my school years and put it in a succinct, formulaic way. Once these basics assimilated, I think we can all start building complex sentence from there, don't you think? :-) Thank you for your interest and let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you in this learning process. Merci!

Also is the "ts" silent in "je mets" from the verb mettre

thankyou.

[FrenchTastic1]

yes, it is.

I realize that you don't use an article when talking about someones profession

eg. je suis avocat, je suis ingénieur ect.

but can you use it other times?. Par exemple

devrais-je dire

je suis un touriste ou je suis touriste?

je suis un homme ou je suis homme? merci d'avance!

[FrenchTastic1]

Je suis un touriste

Je suis un homme
