| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Yasmine: And I'm Yasmine. |
| Eric: And welcome to Must-Know French Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 10. Using the Verb "to have." |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for talking about belongings. |
| PATTERN |
| Eric: For example, "You have very long hair." |
| Yasmine: Tu as les cheveux très longs. |
| Yasmine: [slow] Tu as les cheveux très longs. |
| Eric: The pattern for talking about belongings has 3 elements. First, the pronoun, in this case the informal "you." |
| Yasmine: Tu. |
| Eric: Second, the verb "to have," conjugated in the second person singular. |
| Yasmine: as. |
| Eric: Third, the complement, in this case "very long hair." |
| Yasmine: les cheveux très longs. |
| Eric: Altogether, we have "You have very long hair." |
| Yasmine: Tu as les cheveux très longs. [slow] Tu as les cheveux très longs. [normal] Tu as les cheveux très longs. |
| Eric: First you have the pronoun, then the verb "to have," conjugated according to the pronoun, and lastly the complement. |
| Yasmine: Tu as les cheveux très longs. |
| Eric: So remember, to talk about belongings, start with a pronoun, then the verb "to have" conjugated according to the pronoun, and then the belongings you want to talk about. |
| Eric: Here's another example meaning, "You have a pretty necklace." First, the pronoun, in this case the informal "you." |
| Yasmine: Tu. |
| Eric: Second, the verb "to have," conjugated in the second person singular. |
| Yasmine: as. |
| Eric: Third, the complement, in this case "a pretty necklace." |
| Yasmine: un joli collier. |
| Eric: Altogether we have... |
| Yasmine: Tu as un joli collier. [slow] Tu as un joli collier. [normal] Tu as un joli collier. |
| Eric: "You have a pretty necklace." |
| [pause] |
| Yasmine: Tu as un joli collier. |
| Eric: How do you say - "You have a sense of humor." To give you a hint, "sense of humor" is... |
| Yasmine: sens de l'humour. [slow] sens de l'humour. [normal] sens de l'humour. |
| Eric: "You have a sense of humor." |
| [pause] |
| Yasmine: Tu as le sens de l'humour. [slow] Tu as le sens de l'humour. [normal] Tu as le sens de l'humour. |
| [pause] |
