12.2 French Adverbs

SLIDE 8

The doctor asks Mme Legendre more questions to try to determine what she has: Mme: Je suis très fatiguée en ce moment! D: Est-ce que vous dormez assez? Mme: Non, je dors mal et je me réveille souvent pendant la nuit.

SLIDE 9

General rules: (1) Adverbs are commonly used to modify an adjective, a verb or another adverb: Je suis très fatiguée (adj.) Je dors (verb) mal. (2) Adverbs are invariable.

SLIDE 10

(3) Adverbs follow specific placement rules:

If an adverb modifies a

verb, it will be placed directly after the verb: Est-ce que vous dormez assez?

SLIDE 11

If an adverb modifies an

adjective, il will be placed right before the adjective: Je suis très fatiguée.

SLIDE 12

Below are some commonly used adverbs of frequency and manner: Parfois Sometimes Bien Well Souvent Often Mal Poorly Rarement Rarely Vite Quickly Toujours Always Très Very Jamais Never trop Too much Beaucoup A lot

SLIDE 13

Examples: Il parle bien le français (‘He speaks French well’). Elle est très sympathique (‘She’s very nice’). Je vais souvent au cinéma (‘I often go to the movie theater’). Il travaille beaucoup (‘He works a lot’).

SLIDE 14

Many French adverbs end in ‘-ment’. A great deal of these adverbs are derived from adjectives. They are usually formed by adding ‘-ment’ to the feminine singular form of the adjective: Adjective (masculine) Adjective (feminine) Adverb Lent (slow) Lente Lentement (slowly) Doux (soft) Douce Doucement (softly)

SLIDE 15

Note the addition of an accent to form the following adverbs: Adjective (masculine) Adjective (feminine) Adverb Précis (precise) Précise Précisément (precisely) Profond (deep) Profonde Profondément (deeply) Énorme (enormous) Énorme Énormément (enormously)

SLIDE 16

However, ‘-ment’ is added to the masculine singular form of adjectives ending with a vowel: Adjective (masculine) Adverb Poli (polite) Poliment (politely) Vrai (true) Vraiment (truly) Absolu (absolute) Absolument (absolutely)

SLIDE 17

Add ‘-emment’ to the stem

f adjectives that end in ‘-

ent’. Add ‘-amment’ to the stem

f adjectives that end in ‘-

ant’. The stem is what remains

f the adjective once ‘-ent’
r ‘-ant’ has been removed.
