Notes present participle- VERBALS PRESENT PARTICIPLES* Take the nous form of the verb ; drop –ons and add –ant Verb”ing” parlant=speaking *ayant=having *étant=being

*sachant=knowing changeant commençant Use these forms with the preposition EN and no other

preposition. Remember this is NOT a verb form instead this is an adjective type verbal or a gerund verbal

sachant

COMPOSED PARTICIPLES Use the present participle of avoir or être as

the helping verb + a past participle note: please remember that this is a

compound tense and therefore agreement rules apply

What verbal does one use with all other prepositions? The INFINITIVE or past infinitive! After all prepositions except en and après use the infinitive of

past infinitive regardless of what we use in English!

Without talking = sans parler Instead of saying= au lieu de dire Before starting= avant de commencer -French adjectives may never be followed directly by an

infinitive, either à or de will split them. use de after an adjective of feeling use à after an adjective not describing a feeling Not applicable if the subject is it

with ce as a subject, use à with il/elle as a subject, use de
