    FYW 140 : Past historic tense in French: why I don’t (and won’t) teach it Oct 11, 2017
    Show notes

    For intermediate and advanced students. I’ll be reading a text in French – this text is included in the shownotes for you to follow!

    What’s the past historic tense? Also called “simple past” or “preterite”, or “passé simple” in French, this tense is rarely used and even after years of teaching thousands of students, I have never taught it. I’ll explain when and where you can find this tense, why I find unnecessary to teach it and what you can do to just go around it easily!

    Vocabulary and Spelling of the French Words mentioned in this episode

    La pasteurisation

    La rage = rabies

    Text read in this episode

    “Il jeta (= jeter) les bases de la microbiologie, mit (= mettre) en évidence le rôle des germes dans la propagation des maladies infectieuses, inventa (= inventer) la pasteurisation, et mit (mettre)au point des vaccins contre plusieurs maladies. […]

    Il pensait en effet que l’origine et le développement des maladies étaient comparables à la fermentation. […] Le débat [sur la théorie des germes] dura (= durer) plusieurs années, puis les recherches de Pasteur plaidèrent (= plaider) en sa faveur. Au cours de sa carrière, Pasteur put (= pouvoir) développer la théorie des germes pour expliquer plusieurs maladies.[…]

    Vaccin contre la rage : Pasteur passa (= passer) le reste de sa vie à identifier différents facteurs pathogènes, responsables de maladies telles que les septicémies, le choléra, le choléra aviaire, la diphtérie, la tuberculose et la variole. Il travailla (= travailler) à leur prévention grâce à la vaccination. Ses recherches portèrent (= porter) en particulier sur la rage, maladie mortelle dans la plupart des cas. À la suite d’expériences sur la salive d’animaux affectés par cette maladie, Pasteur conclut (= conclure) qu’elle se localisait dans le système nerveux. […]

    Pasteur mourut (= mourir) à Saint-Cloud, le 28 septembre 1895. Il était depuis longtemps un héros national. Des funérailles nationales furent (= être) organisées en son honneur à la cathédrale Notre-Dame. »

    Show notes

    When a two-letter word can make a difference between you getting a slice of pizza or a whole pizza… Do you need a brush-up to make sure you are using the correct French articles / structures? I just don’t want you to starve 😉

    Learn when to say “une pizza”, “de la pizza” or “la pizza”. Reinforce your comprehension with other examples and…listen to a true story which happened to my husband and I in China!
