86. PASSVE VOCE

As in English, the passive voice in French is composed of a tense of the verb to be and a past participle. However, only adirect object in French can become the subject of the passive form. The active form, le chat mange la souris is madepassive thus: La souris est mange par le chat.The cat eats the mouse becomes the mouse is eaten by the cat. Thesubject in the active sentence (le chat) becomes the object of the passive. The direct object of the active sentence (la souris)becomes the subject of the passive sentence preceded by "par." The verb of the active sentence is changed into a pastparticiple (mange becomes mange, notice the agreement!) preceded by a form oftre.

Elle est porte par Jean. She is carried by John.Elles ont t inspires par Van Gogh. They were inspired by Van Gogh.Il avait t tu par les soldats franais. He had been killed by French soldiers.


4/11

Notice how pronominal verbs change from active to passive:Active: Je me suis rveille. I woke up.Passive: J'ai t rveille par quelque chose. I was awakened by something.

Passive is Not Possible

If a verb takes an indirect object, it cannot be transformed into the passive voice in French. In this case, on is used in theactive construction, as long as the agent is not specified and the action is performed by a human being (i.e. no natural forces,such as weather).

On a donn un cadeau ma mre. My mother was given a present. [Someone gave a present to my mother.]On lui a dit de retrouver le conservateur au muse. He was told to meet the curator at the museum. [Someone told him tomeet the curator at the museum.]

Alternatives to the Passive

In addition to using on as the subject of an active construction to replace the passive, you can also use the pronominalconstructions: se voir[to see oneself], s'entendre [to hear oneself], se faire [to get oneself] and se laisser[to let oneself] +infinitive. These verbs can be used when the agent is specified, unlike the active construction with on.

Je me suis vu promettre une augmentation. I have been promised a raise.Elle s'est entendu dire qu'il allait mourir. She was told that he was going to die.Jean s'est fait arrter. John got arrested.Ils se sont laiss tombermalade. They let themselves get sick.

You can also use a pronominal verb to translate the passive, as long as the agent is not specified. However, this does notwork for all verbs.

a s'crit comment? How is that written?a ne se dit plus. That is not said anymore.

Use tre + infinitive to translate must+ English passive:Ce monument est voir! This monument must be seen!Ce rapport est refaire. This report must be redone.

87. DEPUS, L Y A, & PENDANT N PAST CONTEXTS

1. To express an action that has been going on, depuis (or il y a ... que) is used with thepresent tense.

Depuis quand avez-vous votre ordinateur ?Depuis combien de temps avez-vous votre ordinateur ?How long have you had your computer ?

Je l'ai depuis deux ans.a fait deux ans que je l'ai.Il y a deux ans que je l'ai.I've had it for two years.

Je conduis depuis longtemps. Ihave been driving for a long time.

2. But to express an action that had been going on for some time when something else happened, depuis is used with theimperfect.

Nous conduisions depuis deux heures,quand j'ai propos de prendre le volant.

We had been driving for two hourswhen Ivolunteered to drive.

3. To express an action that you have not done for some time, use depuis with thepass compos.

Je n'ai pas conduit depuis mon mariage. Ihaven't driven since I've been married.

4. To express an action that was done for a period of time, pendantis used, usually with the pass compos. But for anaction that was completed some time ago, use il y a, also with the pass compos.

J'ai lou une voiture pendant deux semaines. I rented a car for two weeks.

J'ai appris conduire il y a deux ans. I learned to drive two years ago.

93. FARE CAUSATVE

Faire + an infinitive is called the faire causative. It translates to "have something done by someone or cause something to bedone by someone," or "to cause someone to do something."

When replacing the object with a pronoun, the pronoun precedes faire. And in past tenses, the past participle remainsinvariable.

94. DRECT & INDRECT DSCOURSE

Direct discourse relates exactly what someone has said or written, using quotation marks and the original wording. Indirectdiscourse relates indirectly, without quotation marks, what someone has said or written. It works the same way in French as itdoes in English.


8/11

Direct Discourse Indirect Discourse

Main verb is presentIl me dit:

Il me dit qu'il part en vacances etque sa famille a lou une villa.

Main verb in pastIl m'a dit:

Il m'a dit qu'il partait en vacances etque sa famille avait lou une villa.

Note that if the main verb is in the present tense, no tense changes occur when using indirect discourse. However, if themain verb is in apast tense, the following tense changes occur:

Present ImperfectPass ComposPluperfect

The Imperfect and Pluperfect do not change. Remember to use que to introduce each dependent clause, and adjustpersonal pronouns and possessive adjectives.

In questions, the following ( rather uncomplicated) changes occur:

1. Yes/no questions = si + declarative sentenceJe t'ai demand si tu avais faim.

2. O, quand, comment, etc. = interrogative word + declarative sentenceIl m'a demand quelle heure j'allais revenir.

3. Interrogative pronouns are a little trickier:

qui est-ce quiqui est-ce que

qui Il m'a demand qui tait rest.Elle m'a demand qui j 'avais vu.

qu'est-ce quice

qui Ils m'ont demand ce qui s'tait pass.qu'est-ce que ce que Elles m'ont demand ce que j'avais dit.

96. NE EXPLETF

Sometimes ne must be inserted in a phrase even when it is not expressing the negative. (However, do not confuse the use ofne expltifwith the verbs that can exist in the negative with only using ne and notpas in formal, written language: cesser,daigner, oser, pouvoir, savoir).

It is used 1) after certain conunctions: avant que, moins que; 2) after expressions and verbs of fear: de crainte que, depeur que, craindre que, avoir peur que, redouter que, trembler que, empcher que, viter que; 3) before a verb that


9/11

follows a comparison of inequality: plus, moins, autre; and 4) after adverbs of doubt and negation used in the negative toexpress a positive idea.

Je sors ce soir moins qu'il ne pleuve. I'll go out this evening unless it rains.Il craint que tu ne sois fatigu aprs le voyage. He's afraid that you'll be tired after the tr ip.Nous sommes plus forts qu'elle ne pense. We are stronger than she thinks.Je ne doute pas que vous ne fassiez des progrs. I don't doubt that you are making progress.

97. CONDTONAL TENSES: PRESENT & PASTThe present conditional tense corresponds to "would." It is used after the imperfect in a conditional sentence. Mostconditionals sentences begin with si (if). However, do not confuse the conditional wouldwith the wouldthat expresses arepeated action in the past. Ifwouldmeans used to, then the imperfect tense is used. Another use of the conditional is innews reports to indicate that the information is not confirmed.

Si j'tais (imperfect)dans une autre famille, est-ce que je serais (conditional) plus heureuse ? If I were in another family,would I be happier?Quand nous tions (imperfect) en vacances, nous dormions (imperfect) jusqu' midi. When we were on vacation, wewould (used to) sleep until noon.Un otage tranger serait mort en route pour l'hpital. A foreign hostage (probably) died on the way to the hospital.

To form the conditional, use the infinitive and add the imperfect endings (but remember to drop the -e on -re verbs). You usethe same irregular stems and exceptions for the conditional that are used for the future tense.

-ais -ions

-ais -iez

-ait -aient

The past conditional is formed by using the conditional of avoir or tre and a past participle. It corresponds to "would have"and is used in hypothetical sentences.

Il n'aurait jamais dit a ! He would have neversaidthat!

If... sentences: When si (if) is used in sentences of condition, the verb tenses change. These pretty much correspond toEnglish usage.

1. Si + present tense + present, imperative, or futureSi je suis fatigue, je me repose. If I'm tired, I rest.Repose-toi si tu es fatigu. Rest if you're tired.Si je suis fatigu demain, je me reposerai. If I am tired tomorrow, I will rest.

2. Si + imperfect + present conditionalSi j'tais riche, j e pourrais acheter un chteau. If I were rich, I would buy a castle.Il deviendrait roi s'il avait plus de courage. He would become king if he had more courage.

3. Si + pluperfect + past conditionalSi j'avais su, j 'aurais compris. If I had known, I would have understood.

It is possible to have past conditional with the imperfect, and it is also possible to have present conditional with pluperfect.However, you can never have the future or conditional tenses directly following si. They must be in the other clause.

Translating Would, Could, Should

In general, you use the conditional tense of a verb to express would + infinitive, such as je dirais - I would say. Again, makesure to use the imperfect of the verb if you're referring to repeated actions in the past (i.e. used to). You can also use theconditional of pouvoir to mean could, as long as the meaning is something that is yet to happen. Il pourrait m'aider. Hecould help me. Otherwise, you use the imperfect or pass compos to mean could if you're referring to the past of can (i.e.was/were not able to). Elle ne pouvait pas s'arrter de rire. She couldn't stop laughing. Should is usually translated byusing the conditional of devoir. Tu ne devrais pas dire a. You shouldn't say that. Forwould have, could have and shouldhave, you use the past conditional of the verb, past conditional of pouvoir + infinitive, and past conditional of devoir +infinitive, respectively. Just remember that would and would have are not followed by infinitives in French.

would conditional of verb il dirait he would say

could conditional of pouvoir + infinitive il pourrait dire he could sayshould conditional of devoir + infinitive il devrait dire he should say

would have past conditional of verb il aurait dit he would have said

could have past conditional of pouvoir + infinitive il aurait pu dire he could have said

should have past conditional of devoir + infinitive il aurait d dire he should have said

"You shouldn't have" or "that wasn't necessary" when someone gives you a gift is il ne fallait pas.
