Lesson Details
Key learning points
- [tion] sounds like 'attention'
- To talk about what you have to, or want to do, use modal verbs 'devoir' and 'vouloir'.
- The 1st person (I) of 'devoir' is 'dois'; the 3rd person (she, he) is 'doit'.
- The 1st person (I) of 'vouloir' is 'veux'; the 3rd person (she, he) is 'veut'.
- Modal verbs are usually followed by another verb which must be in the infinitive form.
Common misconception
You need to conjugate the verb following a modal verb.
The second verb following a modal verb must be in the infinitive form.
