Conclusion Copy
Welcome back! In today’s lesson, we are going to learn a new verb, “aller,” which in English translates as “to go.” This is an irregular verb, which means it is a little tricky to learn, but some of the rules are similar to “être” and “avoir” so you should find it a bit easier.
In the table below are the conjugations of “aller” into the present tense, which translate roughly to “I am going/He is going/You are going,” etc.
Listen to Week 5 Day 3 Track 1
| English | French | |
|---|---|---|
| Pronoun | Pronoun | Verb “aller” |
| I | Je | vais |
| You | Tu | vas |
| He | Il | va |
| She | Elle | va |
| We | Nous | allons |
| You | Vous | allez |
| They (at least one man) | Ils | vont |
| They (all women) | Elles | vont |
Read along with the dialogue below, then have a go at practicing your pronunciation.
Please note that in French, the formula for conjugating “aller” in the present tense is “aller in present + infinitive,” and this refers to an action in the near future. It is very similar to saying “going to” in English and it is the closest you can get to this meaning between the two languages. Do not forget to make sure you are using the correct conjugations for the pronouns you are using!
