NormanH Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 As explained in Le Figaro just before this year's Bac in Franch:http://etudiant.lefigaro.fr/bac/bac-actu/detail/article/bac-les-10-fautes-de-conjugaison-les-plus-frequentes-20637/They are pretty basic, but confirm what I observed when teaching French students.

mint Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 As you say, pretty basic. Makes me feel a whole lot better now I realise that, contrary to my own deepest belief, I do know SOME grammar[:)]Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Maybe the standard is deteriorating because very few people do handwriting these days - it's mostly on computer, with a spellcheck. Is there a computer programme that corrects grammar?I suppose these students have to write essays etc, as we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Blimey, Norman! I usually feel fairly ok on French grammar, having done only that for the first 7 years of being taught it at school! But I was not up to speed with 2, 4, 6 and especially 10.I am often horrified when I am out geocaching in France to read the ungrammatical "logs" written by others - presumably French native speakers - such as the following, seen in Brittany this week:"la journée défile a grand pat ! il est grand temps de déjeuner! je partirais donc dans la foulé sur xxx et c'est alentours ! je ne connais que tres peu se coin ! juste de noms !sa fera alors l'occasion d'y découvrir de nouveaux coin grâce au géocaching et c'est owners ! un très belle viré en fesant le tour de ces très belles croix !pour cette géocache je me rappel y être venu il y'a déjà pas mal de temps! je ne l'avais pas trouver! c'est étant rendu sur les lieux que les souvenirs refont surface!le logbook est mouiller! j'ai oublier de prendre mon sac a dos avec tout l'attirails du géocacheur! tempi je ferais sans ! j'arriverais a loguer mon pseudo ! mes je suis navré de pas avoir pu effectuer la maintenance!

mint Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I get emails where people seem to ignore all accents. Generally, it's not hard to work out where and which accents.If I have an important or "official" letter to write, I do unload the avisoft accent programme and use that. Must confess that I have been too lazy to learn how to do all the accents by heart. I have an AZERTY keyboard so all the common accents are already there.

NormanH Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 And, as I have said before, for an official sort of letter I check with http://bonpatron.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
