PREFACE.
The rapid and increasing sale of this Dictionary leaving no doubt of its
utility, neither trouble nor expense have been spared in this edition to de-
serve a continuance of the public esteem. Sensible of such decided pre-
ference, two different editors in Paris determined to profit by it. One of
them, in an edition sold by Mr. Santin, copied literally this work, boldly
assuming the name of the present editor. This was an injury, but not a
direct insult. The other, in an edition for Mr. Theophilus Barrois, threat-
ens with a prosecution any person who shall presume to pirate his manuscript.
Manuscripty indeed ! whoever will be at the trouble to compare the two edi-
tions, will find that editor to have been a minute copier of this present Dic-
tionary.
As to his asseveration of being the first who inserted the several irregu-
larities in the Enghsh verbs and nouns — nothing, to use the softest expres-
sion, was ever more groundless. He took them, word for word, from this
work, in which they were inserted by the present editor more than twenty
years ago, with the following paragraph in the preface: — *' This edition con-
tains all the irregularities in the English language — a convenience which is
not to be found in any other French and English Dictionary .'^--v
Another paragraph was this: — *' Ladies at the head of sclfeols, and pri-
vate governesses, will find their laudable wish fully satisfied, as the most scru-
pulous care has been taken to expunge all improper expressions." It must,
however, be granted, that the copier followed here his own plan, and re-
placed with the strictest attention, all the rude and offensive words which
the present editor had left, and continues to leave out.
As to some articles which that editor added, they chiefly consist of obso-
lete and uncouth expressions, which will for ever remain undisturbed, or
of words minutely technical, which the present editor always avoided to
insert, because a literary Dictionary can never be made an Encyclopsedia:
otherwise, why not have added the whole series of words belonging to che-
mistry, botany, painting, &c. &c.? All the chief words, either naval or mi-
litary', with those of the several arts and sciences, used in general reading
and conversation, are, and always were, in our Dictionary, according to the
excellent plan of the French Academy and of Dr. Samuel Johnson.
We hope that this moderate defence against an injurious encroachment
will not be deemed improper here; and we finish with observing, that this
edition continues to have the convenience of a clear and comprehensive
view of the pronunciation, accidence, and syntax of the French language, with
a pailicular Section on grammar in general.

OBSERVATIOXS
I. "When polysyllables are spelt alike
in both lang\iag-es, or are only altered
at the last, or two last syllables, they
will be found in tlie following manner:
Abbrevia/Zon, f. — tion. AbominaZ//£-
nicnl, ad. — bly.
II. When several words of the same
part of speech follow one another,
the mark of the part of speech is only
put after the first word, and answers
to all the others. The same method
has bvien foUjpfd with regard to the
gender of tde Jt rench words.
III. When a letter, or a syllable,
such as e, re, ease, Sec. follows a French
adjective, it is to show its feminine.
As the adjectives ending in e, with-
out accent, are always of both genders
in French, they have no special mark
in this Dictionary. Those that are
quite irregular, are printed without
abbreviation.
IV. When you meet with a line
thus: — , tliat begins a new article, it
means the repetition of the preceding
word, which generally has another sig-
nification.
V. AVhen there is but one meaning
to an adverb, if there be near it an
adjective of the same root, and with
different significations, the adverb
generally has them all. — Thus tendre-
menf, ad. has all the meaning of ten-
dre, a. This observation, which serves
for several hundred adverbs and often
for substantives, will he. of great ser-
vice to young translators.
\T. The frequent asterisks in the
first part, show the following words
to be Irregular; and such iiTCgularities
are explained in the second part, iii
looking for those words in their alpha-
betical order.
AN INTRODUCTION
TO THE
FRENCH GRAMMAR
BY J. OUISEAU, A. M.
We divide this Introduction into four Sections. The first exemplifies the principles of the
French Pronunciation ; tiie second treats of Grammar in general ; the tliird presents a compre-
liensive view of tiie several Parts of Speech in tiie FrencJi and Englisli languages ; the fourth
contains the fundamental Rules of tli^ Frencli t-ynta.x.
SECTION I.
Of the French Provviiciaiion.
The French aiphaliet consists of 25 letters, in
the order of this Dictionary: a, 6, c, </, e, /, g,
A, i, j, k, I, ?rt, 7?, o, p, q, r, s, t. «, v, x, y, z.
They are divided, as in English, into vowds
and consonants.
;Some particular marks, called Accents, are
essential to the orthography of the French
words, and aflect their sounds.
The acute accent (') is put upon e, and gives
to it a slender and acute sound, nearly as a in
ale, pale. Ex. He, bonte, gcncrosite.
The grave accent ( ") is put chiefly upon e, a nd
gives to it an open and grave sound, nearly as a
in play, day. Ex. frcre, crime, chevre.
'J he circumflex accer.t ( ) is put upon any
vowel, and gives to it a brMAsound, just as the
sound which distinguishes Wpfctoin hat, shaicl
from shall. Ex. du pldtrc, vo'UMftes, les v'ttres,
jc bru le.
The apostrophe indicates the elision of a vow-
el : as rdme for la dine ; I'arbre for le arbyf.
The cedilla gives to the c the sound of #, be-
fore a, o, u. Ex. il lanca, via l^on, novs re-
Climes.
SOUNDS OF THE VOWELS.
Observe first. That the French letters s and z,
when added to the substantives and adjectives
to mark the plural number, serve likewise, m
general, to Icngtlien the sj liable which precedes
them. Ex. uu solddt, dcs soldats ; un effet, des
cffets.
Secondly, a vowel with a circumflex, is al
ways broad; as, vous ctes drole; but vowels
Open A ; sounded like o in shall
Broad A ; sounded like a in shawl
Slender E ; sounded like a in ale
and so sound er, ez, and i
in the final syllables >
of verbs. )
Open E ; nearly like ay in may
er ; ( :
ez ; ^ I
ai ; ( (
are often pronounced broad, although without
a circumflex, as will appear in the following ta-
bles.
The vowels a, e, i, o, u, produce, by their
combination witli other letters, many other sint-
ple sounds, which we treat as vowels in the
following order.
Bague, cave, mascarade
Platre, blame, rare
Th6, caf6, felicit6
Parler, danser, Jouer
Vous parlez, dansez, joucz
J'ai, je sais, il salt
Regie, zele, caractere

cented, but followed by two
consonants, or a final c, /, I,

N. B. The consonants c, /, ^, r, are commonly sounded at the end of words ; but the other con-
sonants are almost always silent, unless they are joined to a final e mute ; as saint, sainte; pru-
dent, prudcnte; JLouis, Liouise; Romain, Romaine; petit, petite.
OF THE UNION OF WORDS.
The rule generally given, that a word ending nouncing the final consonants of the verbs; j'a-
witli a consonant should be joined to a word be-
ginning with a vowel, is absolutely erroneous,
and leads to a heavy aflected manner of pro-
nouncing. It is true that in reading verses, and
m public speeches, consonants are oftener and
more strongly sounded before a vowel ; either
to preserve the measure of the verse, or to give
a quicker impulsion to the air, and be heard at
a greater distance. But in conversation, and in
familiar reading,nothing is more carefully avoid-
ed by all unaflected people.
However, as there are many cases in whicli
the consonants must be joined to the vowels, we
sliall endeavour to give a clear rule, with its mo-
difications, for the direction of Foreigners.
1. Let us observe that the consonants c,/, I, r,
few words excepted, are always joined to the
next vowel of any word which follows them.
2. Tlie same remark stands good for any
ether consonant that, by custom, is pronounced
full at the end of some particular words ; which
for the most part are ancient and modern /o-
reign nd^mGS. Thus in the words Venus, Bac-
chus, Memphis, Jlbraham, &c. the final conso-
nants keep their /ttW and natural sound, eitlier
before a consonant or a vowel ; therefore pro-
nounce Venus aimable, Venus blessee, Bac-
chus endormi, Abraham obeiasant, &c. in sound-
ing fully the final consonants.
3. The verbs are never joined by unafiTected
speakers,to the word which follows them, unless
tiiat word be their pronoun conjunctive, the in-
determinate pronoun on., or the supplying pro-
nouns y and en; which three last always sound
before and after verbs. — Thus read without pro-
N. B. The letters to be joined to the next vow-
els, have approaches (^-')
Les arbres de mon all6e ;
The trees of my alley.
Lcs &, des annoncent le pluriel ; mon & ton
expriraent la possession.
vois eavie; il parut accable, nous parlames a
Antoine. — But, sound the final consonant, both
of the verbs and pronouns, (according as they
meet either before or after one another) in such
constructions as these; allonsy; m'attend-on?
Donnez-en? en-avez-vous? On-en-aura; vous ai
mez ma sceur ; & elle vous aime. Parut-il acca-
bl6 1 Je ne puis qu'y faire, dit-elle.
4. However, one may sometimes sound, but
always very gently,the final consonant of a verb
before the infinitive avoir and elrc. Jlfaut avoir;
on doit etre. ^~'
5. The t of est and sont from the verb etre,
sounds before any vowel. Jl est adroit; elles
sont aimablcs ^~'
6. Tlie t of the conjunction et (and) is always
silent.
7. The final n in nasal sounds is never to he
joined to the next vowel, except in these four
words; un, on, bicv, rien; and in masculine
adjectives ending in n, when Ihey precede their
substantives beginning with a vowel ; as, mon
bon ami ; j'ai son argent ; donne moi ton epee.
8. S and x, joining a vowel, take the somid of
z; d of t; g of k; and / the sound of v.
These observations being premised, wc may
now offer tlie general rule.
The final consonant of a word, (especially v,
s, t, X, and 2) is sounded before a vowel, when-
ever ihe first word necessarily affects the second,
that is, either deierniines, qualifies, or modifies
its signification; such as, an article and its noun,
a preposition and its case, &.c. &c. witli the ex-
ceptions above mention«!d.
References to the foregoing observations and
to the general rule.
Les and vwn, as articles, modify the words
arbres and allee; therefore, by the general rule,
the s and it are sniindi d.
Tlies in its and (/f.*, and the win mon and ton,
are silent before the in;xt vowels, because lea
Tlie vDcrds Ics and des show the plural num-
ber; the '.cords mon and ton announce posses-
sion.
Les y &. les en soat d' un grand usage en Francois.
The pronouns y and en are of great use in
French.
Vo'u imitez voa freres; & nous aussi, nous
les iraitons.
You imitate your brothers; and we also imi-
tate them.
Un avis important,
Un imponant avis ;
An important advice.
Whenever some words will appear to contra-
dict the general rule, let them be examined with
care, and the reader will easily perceive that
such licenses are taken to avoid either an am-

aes, mon, and ton, are taken abstractedly, and
do not ad'ect tlie next word witJi their right of
articles.
Hercs is pronounced before y and en, because
les, as article plural to y and ew, determines tho
extent of tlieir siguiticaiion — d is sounded before
usage, because grand qualifies usage.
Here the a- of vous sounds before imitez, because
it determines imitez, being its conjunctive pro-
noun. The s of nous is silent before aussi, be-
cause it does not adect it, but a farther word
imitons, the conjunctive pronoun of vvliich it is
Tlie 5 of les is sounded before imitons, by the
second paragraph of the third observation.
The n of un is sounded by the seventh obser-
vation. The s of avis is silent before important,
because avis does not qualify important, but is
qualified by it. The t of important, sounds be-
fore avis, "because important alfects avis by
qualifying it.
biguity or a harsli sound ; because, as says M.
I'abbe d'Olivet, the Frencli prefer an irreguJarity
to a discordant sound.
The French have tvvoe's not accented, as has
been already seen in the table of the vowels.
One of them is always silent, and only serves
(as far as relates to pionunciaiion) to lengthen
the syllable which precedes it; as, un grand
point; une grande pointe. Un medecin
medecine.
Tlie other unaccented e has a sound of its own,
which coming from the throat, as in the English
words daughter, sister, gives to it the name of
guttural e.
That e is sometimes pronounced, and some-
times not ; and in this consists a great ditticuity
for foreigners, who alwa^'s pronouncing it full,
are long before they are able to follow a French
conversation, and thence are inclined to believe
that the French spyak much fastei than anyothcr
nation. The truth is, that the French, taking
them in general, do not speak faster than other
people, but in conversation, and in familiar read
tention to the following remarics will remove
every difficulty.
When a guttural e ends a second syllable, it
is not pronounced ; and this is effected in the
following manner ; the first syllable joins the
une consonant of the second, and the e thus unsup-
ported, remains silent: Ejc. (iuand vous se-
rez le luftnie, vous nie trouverez le meme. ""
This sentence contains thirteen syllables in
prose : Quand voiw se rez le meme vous me trou
ve rez le meme. In verse, mime would be divid-
ed into two syllables.
In familiar reading, and in conversation, it
only contains eight syllables : Quand vouss rei
memr, vousm trouv rel mem.
Observe, 1. If the guttural e of the second
syllable is either preceded or followed by a diph-
thong or a vowel compounded of ttvo lettersjsnch
asau, ei,ou,Se.c. thee must then be^en£/y heard;
iiig, they drop the guttural e, as often as they can such we mark m the following examples with
do it, and thus go quicker through a sentence an asterisk(*).
2. The consonant of an e guttural, cannot be
joined to a syllable ending in e mute.
3. When you drop an e guttural, let the junc-
tion bo very smooth, and try to avoid a jerking
harsh sound.
In order to apply the preceding observations, we give here some lines of which the c's which
follow the approaches, are not to be pronounced.
than does a foreigner, who gives a full guttural
sound to every e he meets with.
In tliis consists much of the neatness and ele-
gance of a good French accent, and a little at-

SECTION II
Of Grammar in general
GRAMMAR is the art of reading, speaJting,
and writing a laiigua^e by rules
There are nine parts of speech ; llie article ;
the noun, or substantive; tlie ailjectivt*, or ad-
noun ; tlie pronoun ; the verb ; the adverb ; tiie
preposition ; the conjunction ; and the interjec-
tion.
1. The article declares a noun, and deter-
mines the extei.'t of its signification. Hence ar-
ticles are divided into definite, indefinite, and
partitive.
The word definite, in its literal acceptation,
signifies sometiiing hniited icitkin a knoicn space
— ^i'he word indefinite designs something icith-
oiit knoicn litnits—'rUa word partitive means
dinidin^r into parts.
In English, the is definite— a or an, and like-
wise some or any, \n the sense of wore or less, and
tchatrver, are indefinite— ^omf, in the sense of a
portion of, is partitive— 7Vtc milliner has sent
me the hat wliitli I bouglit yesterday — ^-J milli-
ner has shown to nie a hat of a new fashion-
Here are fine oranges, will you liave any ? Yes,
I will buy sowtc- Here is a fine orange, will you
have any ? Yes, I will be obliged to you forsDWC.
Give me some bread. Give me some apples.
2. A substantive expresses the idea of any
thing which we may t.)uch and see, or which
we may conceive existing by itself — A table, l.'ie
aun, Virtue anirt/cp, are siiijstantives.
Substantivis may be divided into proper, com-
mon and abstract nouns.
A substantive prnpcr, strictly speaking, only
belongs toonep:rs'»nor one thing, and names it
—Shiik.^peare, t{,>nter; Shakspeare's Othello;
Homer's Iliad.
A substantive common lM;long3 to more than
one obji'ct. Tree, bird, flower, oak, sparrow,
pink, are substantives common.
A substantive ahsimct expresses an object
which is only conceived by the mind, without
falling under any of the senses — Virtue, vice,
ffiiod-nature, and peevishness, are substantives
abstract; for, though we may know and see
virtuous, viciiius, good-natured, and peevish
men, we never saw virtur, vice, good-nature,
and peevishness, but only conceive Iheni by the
power of our mind, a<3 particular habits which
render men virtuous or vicious, good-natured or
peevish.
Nouns may liave either a singular or a plural
meaning, which grammarians ca 1 number—
There are two numbers—the singular ai.d plural.
Tile singular designs one — .in apple, a pen, a
vian, are in the singular number.
Tl\e plural designs many, or more than one —
Two apples, ten pens, a hundred men, are all in
the plural number.
There are lour genders in English — Mascu-
line, feminine, neuter, and conunon.
Tiie masculine belongs to all males— j3 man,
a horse, are masculine.
The feminine belongs to all females— j3 uo
man, a tigress, are femiinne.
Tiie neuter in English belongs to inanimate
objects— .5 table, a pen, are neuter.
The common belongs to tlie order of males
ami females— CA/W, chicken, thief, are of the
common gender.
3. An adjective or adnoun, expresses a parti-
cular quality ascribed to a substantive — A good
man, a bad man, a studious man, a lazy man—
The words good, bad, studious, and lazy, ex-
press the particular quality which belong to
such or such a man.
Adjectives, according to tlie extent of theit
signification, take the name o( positive, compa-
rative, and superlative.
An adjective, in its natural state, is in the posi-
tive degree— Sophia is studious andobliging.
An adjective in a state either of increase, dimi-
nution, or equality, is in the comparative degree
—Hence comparatives are divided into compara-
tives nf superiority, inferiority, and equality.
A comparative of sufjeriority has for its sign,
the word more, or an ending in er, equivalent
to more — Cecilia is more studious, and wiser
than her sister.
A comparative of inferiority has for its sign,
the word I'ss, followed by than, or the word so
with a negation followed by as— You are less
studious titan your brother. You are not so at-
tentive as you used to be.
The comparative of equality has for its sign,
the word as, followed by a.s— She is as good-
natured as her mother.
An adjective in its most e.xtensive meaning, is
in the superlative decree, and has for its sign ihc
word most, or an ending in est, equivalent to
mo3l— Your sister is the inosi prudent woman 1
know. — He is ti^e proudest, and the most trifling
man in London.
4. A pronoun is a word whicli is used instead
of a noun, to avoid a troublesome and unliarnio-
nious repetition.
Pronouns are divided into — Per.foval, posses-
sive, demonstrative, relative, and indeterminate.
—A complete list of all the pronouns is given in
the following section ; our end liere is only to
give definitions and explain them.
Personal pronouns, as the word designs It ful-
ly, represent the names of persons—/ was yes-
terday with your sister ; she was speaking of 7/o?<,
when your brother came up to us ; we convened
with him, and he invited us to his house.
l'o.ssessive pronouns denote possession or pro-
perty— Your horse is stouter than mine, is a con-
cise way of saying: the horse whieh you possess
is stouttr than the horse which J jfossess.
Demonstrative jironouns point out the objects
of our observation or discourse, and clearly dis-
tinguish them from any other object— 7V//s boy
is more attentive than that girl. — These pens aie
better than those.
Relative pronouns show a reference to some
substantives which either precede, or follow them.
—The man who lives with me, and whom you
know. The poji zchieh I cave to your brother.
The grammar that 1 read. Which of these roses
do you like best /—All pronouns, absolutely sjjeak-
ing, have a relative signification, but irku, that,
and which, are those which are properly called
relative pronouns.
The indeterminate or indefinite pronouns de-
note their object in a general, vague, and uncer-
tain manner — One cannot always be happy—
Somcboily knocks at the door— 07<e and somebody
dentuc no particular object, and so they are in-
determinate.
5. The subject or numinntire of a verb is the
word which afiects the verb, and «letermines its
person atsd number—/ read ; we love ; your sis-
ter sings ; your brothers play.
The object or ninmcn of a verb, is the word
which receives its action— I know your brother ;
he lo\ es you , he will sing a sovfr.
A verb is a part of speech which signifies to
he, to ilo, or tc suffer ; that is to say. the verb ex-
presst-s either the nctunl state of persons and
tilings, the actions which Ihiy do. or ihe ivjirri.-
sions they receive — VVe an- free: hf l.eionns
proud. We ;>ra/.<r candour : \ hate double de.Tl-
ing. Tiiars ure dispistd ; viriuous men liave been
fvmetimes^ vvriik.
Hence tin- natural division of vcr) s into swi-
ftmitire-^ active, and pa.s;firc verbs.
A verb substantive denotes what kind of union
subsists between a subject and its attribute. To
be is the only real verb substantive — Your bro-
ther is obedient ; your brother will be rich ; that
laan is not sincere ; your brother icas not guilty.
A veib active declares an action, doing, done,
or to be done — I praise you ; we reprimanded
him ; we will examine his conduct.
A xexb passive expresses the impression of an
action which an object is receiving, has receiv-
ed, or will receive — He is haled ; your sister tea*
praised; he will be reprimanded— licwQe it ap-
pears, that the ditierent tenses of the veib to be,
joined to a participle, form a xi^vh passive.
Besides this general division, verbs receive the
names of auxiliary or helping, reflected, recipro-
cal, neuter, personal, drj'ective, regular, and »>•
7egular.
The verbs to be and to have, are called auxilia-
ry or helping veibs, because they Jielp to conju-
gate all other verbs in many tenses— 1 have dined ;
jou are praised ; we will have sung ; he should
be corrected.
A verb nfiected is a verb active, the subject
and object of which are the same— //c praises
himself; I hurl myself; you wiW rum yourself.
A verb reciprocal is a verb active, the subject
and object of which are not the same ; but as in
the refiected, they have a mutual action upon
one another. Hence it follows tliat a verb rc«-
procal is always in the jdural ntunber — Jf'elove
one another : they write to one another.
A verb neuter has no regimen— He /tW down ;
she runs well.
All verbs which maybe conjugattd with three
persons in the singular, and three in ihe |)lural,
are called personal— I write; thou writest ; he
writes; we write ; yr write ; tlicy write.
A verb impersonal is only C(»iijugaie(i with the
pronoim //,, in the tJiird id-rson singular— /< rains;
it will snow ; it concerns you.
A verb difectivr rannot l'o through the usual
variations ofother verbs— »/lA7//////..<, m< thought.
A verb rrgulnr agrees with the uMial form;*-
tion of V(!rbs— / praise ; I prai.-^f d ; I hare prais-
ed ; I luve ; I lurid; / have lored.
A verb irregvlir does not agree with the usual
formation of verbs— / ^o. / wint, I have gone; I
speak, I spoke, I have spoken-
Verbs have moods, tenses., pei sons, and num
hers.
A mood is Ihe distinct manner of exprpssing
the various powers of a verb— Thcfe are four
modds: the infinitive, the indicntivc, the suh-
junctivi, and the niipcrutivc.
XIV
The mood infiniticc declares the power of the
verb io its most extensive sigaitication — it is pro-
fitable, to study, to converse, and to reflect. Tlie
wonls to study, to converse, and to reflect, set
no limits to the ideas of study, conversation, and
reflection, but leave theui iu a boundless signifi-
cation.
The mood indicative declares in a direct man-
ner what a subject is, does, or suliers, without
standing in need of a conjunction— Foa are
happy; your sister has been, is, and will be loved
by every body. I now read AnacharsLs, and 1
icill soon jn-.ike an extract of it.
The mood subjunctive, likewise called con-
junctive and optative, cannot have a meaning
without the help of a conjunction. Its literal
meaning is a complete delinition; it is a mood
dependant on a conjunction, either expressed or
understood.— T/wu Of A the rich be powerful, they
cannot avoid diseases, and bribe deaih. I wish*
your brother may come in tuue, (* that is under-
stood.)
The mood imperative expresses a command,
or a desire— y^ead your lesson. Sit down by me.
J.,et him speak. Let us take a walk.
All the objects of our tlioughts are either in a
past, present, or future time— Hence verbs have
three tenses, the present, the past, and the fu-
ture, which remain sufficiently expressed by
their literal denomination, without any other de-
finition — / speak, I am speaking, is a present
tense ; I spoke, I have spoken, is a past tense; /
toUl speak, I will be speaking, is a future tense.
Those three chief tenses are susceptible of su-
bordinate divisions, as will be seen in tlie para-
digm of conjugations.
Verbs, like nouns, Jiave a singular and a plu-
ral number. Each number has three persons ;
/, thou, he, she, or a substantive for the singular :
we, you, they, a substantive, or many substan-
tives for the pluial — / read, thou readcst, he
reals, Huphia reads ; we read, ye read, tfiey ready
the boys read, Jilury and Jane read — Modern po-
liteness will have, in writing and conversing, the
second person plural used instead of the second
person singular.
6. The adverb is a word joined to a verb, to
determme the extent of its signification— For
example, if I say : you run, you study, you write;
I only present to the hearer the ideas of motion,
study, and writing-. But if I make use of ad-
verbs, and say: you run fast; you study care-
Leasly ; you write elegantly; the adverbs /a^f,
carelessly, and elegantly, measure, as it were, the
parts which arc taken out of the boundlcs?
meaning, to run, to study, to write.
An adverb is often formed of many words,
and is then called an adnerb compound — You run
with grace ; that is to say, gracefully.
The same word may be taken adverbially in
a sentence, and be a preposition in another — Vou
walk after me, and you should run before me
I will go before, if you promise to come after.
In such curcumstances the adverb is easily dis-
tinguished from the preposition ; for the latter
has always a regimen, and the former has none
Indeed, those adverbs in appearance, are real
prepositions with the ellipsis of a regimen.
Thus, in the preceding sentence, the complete
sense is : I will go before you, if you promise to
come after me.
7. A preposition is an indeclinable word, put
before a noun or a pronoun, to govern it, and
show the relation it has to other parts of the
sentence— I have lived near your house during
three months, and I never had the pleasure of
being in your company before this moment —
Tile piepositions luar, during, in, before, con-
nect the relations which vicinity, sociablenesa,
and time have to one another.
8. A conjunction is an indeclinable part of
speech, which unites the dift'eroJit meanings of
various words, or part of a sentence, into one
general complete sense— 1 saw your father and
mother yesterday, and neithcT he nor she would
believe that you could read as well as your bro-
ther ; but, though they are so hard to be persuad-
ed, they will at length believe me, when they
liear you read.
9. An interjection is an indeclinable word
which serves to declare joy, surprise, fear, grief,
aversion, desire, and other sudden emotions of
the mind, which no connected sentence could ex-
l)ress — .lias ! dear mc '. bless us ! oh ! fy ! pshaw f
zounds! and such like expressions, are called in-
terjections. There are emotions of the mind
so lively, and so very sudden, that every body
wiU at that time make use of interjections ; but
too frequent a use of them, iu a deliberate
way of speaking, is a sure mark of ignorance
atTtctalion, and a dearth of words. Hence we
see that illiterate people abound most in inter-
jecUons, and in that worst kind of them which
is called swearing.
VVe finish tnis section with observing, that in
order to avoid repetitions, or an unharinonioua
style, words necessary to the grammatical con
suuction of a sentence ar^ often omitted ; and
XV
fhat omission is, by grammarians, called ellip- taken out of Jlilton's Paradise Lost, points out
sui The asterisk, in the following examples, the ellips^is.
O earth, how like to heaven *: (* thou art)
Nor love thy life, nor hale *; but what thou livest, (* it)
Live well ; how long, or short *, permit to heaven. (* it is to be)
Greedily she ingorged * without restraint, (* the fruit)
And knew not * eating death. (* that she was)
Grace was in all her steps, heaven * in her eye, (* was)
In every gesture * dignity and love ! (* were)
The earth gave signs of gratulation, and each hill *; (*gave siffns of gratulation)
Joyous ♦ the birds, (,* were)
But who I was, or where *, or from what cause *, (* I was, I came)
* Knew not : to speak I tried, and forthwith * spake. (* /, /)
There are few compound sentences without an ellipsis; and as it may attach to any part or
speech, it is very necessary, for the gramjnatical analysis of a sentence, to read it carefully, and ob-
serve where the ellipsis takes place.

FORMATION OF THE FEMININE GENDER OF ADJECTIVES.
N. B. Observe that We say adjectives, and not adjectives and suistaTiUwes.— Substantives never
vary, but to form their plural.— Beginners often fall into the error of adding an e to all the substan-
tives feminine tliey have occasion to employ.
Ali adjectives ending with e without accent, Un homme aimable, une femme aimable ; dep
commonly called muic, have the masculine and hoinnies ou. des fenimes ahnables; man, wo-
feminine alike. ?nnn, men, women, amiable
Other adjectives generally take an c mute to Un homme savant, hardi, prndeni; une femuiC

change c into che, and some others into que, to
form ilieir fenunine.
form their fenunine.
:i. Adjectives in ear and eux, change those
termmaiions into eusc. for the feminine.
4. Adjectives in I, with e, u, or ei before I,
double iliat final I, and take an e mute — The
o'liers only take an e to form their feminine.
5. Of the adjectives ending in n, those only
double #1 in their feminine, which have o before
n, or end in icn — The others only take e.
6 7'hp adjectives ending in t, with an e or o
before it, double the t, and take e for their fe-
minine — The others only take e.

OF THE PRONOUXS.
Pcrsojial Pronouns.
We divide tire personal pronouns into three classes — The first consists of those which govern lh«
verbs; the second of those which are governed by the verbs; and the third of tliose which are go-
verned by prepositions— Some of them, as it will appear, are CiiuaUy governing and governed.

N. B. Mon, ton, son, are used instead of ma, ta, sa, before a noun feminine, beginning with «
vowel or an h nmte, to avoid a harsh articulation. Ex. Mon ainiti6, 77ty friendship; ma sincere
nimliQ, my sincere friendship; low \(\?,o\nncc, thy insolence; ta grande insolence, fAy extre77ie ijwo-
le)ice; son histoire, his history; sa savante hisioire, his learned history.
Observe also, that all possessive Pronouns, either conjunctive or relative, but more clearly those
of the third jjcrson, agree, in English, with the po.sses3or of a thing, and in French witli the thing
possessed. Many mistakes will he avoided by attending to this observation. Ex. II aime sa femme,
safllle & ses soeurs ; he luoes his wife, his daughter, and hia sisters. Elle aime son mari, son fils,
& ses freres; she loves her husband, her son, and her brothers. 'i9ire frere a perdu son couteau
& sa bourse ; your brcth'r has lost his knife and his purse. Votro soeur a perdu son couteau &c sa

REMARKS ON THE FRENCH VERBS.
A verb is regular when all its tenses derive from the infinitive, or from the gerund ; theretbre tlie
conjugations in enir and evoir, usually classed among the regular verbs, are irregular
e admit, in this introduction, three regular conjugations.
1st. — in er, ant, 6, — donner, don riant, donne t'
ir, issant, i, — punir, punissant, puni
ir, ant, i, — sentir, sentant, senti
re, ant, u, — vendre, vendant, vendu
uire, uisant, uit, — conduire, conduisant, condui
indre, ignant, inl, — ^joindre, jolgnanl, joint
{ oitre, oissant, u, — paioitre, paroissant, paru
Many verb:?, -with these terminations, are however irregular, as wiiLlie seen afterwards.
e la;
2d. branching into
3d. branching into â–
All verbs, eitJ^er regular or irregular, agree together in forming the last syllable of most of their
tenses; as will clearly appearirom the following Paradigm, which nearly reduces all the conjuga-
tions to one.

3LX1V
OF THE REGULAR CONJUGATIONS.
A regular verb keeps its radical letters through all its conjugation.
The radical letters of a verb are tliose which stand before Uie ending common to all the verbs
of the same conjugation. Thus, in donncr, ag-ir, the syllables donn and ng are the radical letters.
So that, wlien you want to conjugate a verb after a model given to you, observe which are the
radical letters of botli verbs, and add to the radical letters of your verb (according to the tense and
person you want) the ending which is after the radical letters of tJie model proposed to you. Ex.
Suppose I want the first person plural of etudier for the preterite, and that donner be the model
proposed to me in the grammar. I begin wiiJi observuig Uiat the conjugation being in er, the
radical letters of the verbs are eiudi and donn; I look at the conjugation of donner; and find donn-
dmes for tlie place required. I take dmes which stands after the radical letters, and I place it after
etudi, which gives me etudidmes, the word required. — This, well understood, will much facilitat*
the conjugation of the French verbs.

fait — or such like expressions. It is a gross error, which beginners leave off with difficulty.
CHIEF ADVERBS.
Most of the French adjectives may become adverbs, by the addition of ment to their masculine,
if ending in e,i, u; or to their feminine, if ending otherwise. Ex. ais<^, poll, absolu, sage, doux,
vif, adj. Aisement, poliment, absolument, sagement, doucement, vivement, ad. <S-c. <!S-c. Such ad-
verbs we leave to the Dictionary, and practice in reading ; we only select here those that are radical
of tiieinselves, or the meaning of which is not sufliciently explained by their etymology.

INTERJECTIONS. There are not words
enough in any hinguage, to express all our ideas ;
especially in sudden emotions of tlie mind —
Hence the use of interjections — As tlie greater
part of iJie expressions used on such occasions
are taken from nature alone, the real interjections
in most languages are monosyllabical — We think
it useless to give here an unmeaning list of ah^
t)h, ouais, ouJ\ Ji, chut, &c. &,c. ; they are in the
Dictionary.
The same imparity between languages and our
ideas, has given rise to the figurative style ; by
which, with proper judgment, the speech acquir^
much dignity and energy. As many figures of
Rhetoric are often mentioned in common gram-
mar, we shall hure define the chief of them.
The Simile illustrates one object by conjparing
it to another, to which it bears a manifest rela-
tion — Ex. •' She never told her love, but let con-
cealment, like a worm i' the bud, feed on her da-
mask cheek."— He behaves like a bear.
The Metaphor is a figure by which we make
wso of a word to express an object to which that
word does not literally belong. Metaphorical ex-
pressions give great energy to the language. One
might say that a metaphor is a simile without the
tiign of a comparison like or as— Ex. Lite is a
stormy sea. Tliat woman is a crocodile ; her sis-
ter is a lamb. Envy scatters her venom on ail
sides, and often withers the bloss<jins of mer^t.
An Allegory \& a series of metaphors continued
to some length. A fable might be termed an alle-
gory. We have the simile, metai)lior, and alle-
gory combined through the whole soit^ aC Solo-
mon. — " I am the rose of Sharon, aiKJlly? lily of
the valleys. As the lily among thnatiffln is my
love among the daugiiters. As the apple-tree
among the trees, so is my biloved among the sons ;
I sat under his shadow, and his fruit was sweet
to my taste. Awake, O, North-wind : and come,
thou South, blow upon my garden, that il» spices
may flow out,"
The J]ntithi.sis is a contrast of words which
serve, like shades, to set off op|X)site qualities —
Ex. " In all thy humours, whether grave or mel-
low—thou art such a touchy, testy, pleasant fel-
low— hast so much wit, and mirth, and spleen
about thee —there is no living with thee, nor with-
out thee."
Tlie Hyperbole is a figure by which the reality
of things is either excessively enlarged, or dimi-
nished— £:z. " So light was Camilla, tJiat she
might have run over the wavering ears of com
without bending them." — " His pond'rous shield
behind him he" cast; Ute brgad cUcumfereqce
hung on his shoulders like the moon." — A comic
poet said of a nobleman, proud and poor : Hia
estate is not larger than a Lacedemonian Epistle,
and his pride reaches from one pole to the other.
By the Irony we let understand the contrary
of what we say. Thus we call a fool a Holomon;
and a scolding woman a lamb.
By the ^ipostrophe we suddenly address our
speech to any object, wlieilier present or atjsent,
animate or inanimate. — " Ye angels, sing hia
praise ; on earth join, all ye creatures. Air, and
ye elements, praise him ; convey his praise, ye
winds."
The Prosopopeia calls forth absent and dead
pers<inSi and supposes life and reason in inani-
mate and irrational objects. 'J'here is a great si-
milarity betwixt this figure and the apostrophe;
in the latter we suddenly address our speech to
any object, and in the f(»riner we lend voice and
passions to it. — Ex. " Hear the voice of your
country, Catiline, thus she speaks to you ; retire,
Catiline, retire ; your crimes have overthrown my
laws, your atrt>cilies desolate me, my veins are
open; retire, Catiline, and allow some rest to
your desolate mother."
As it is very essential to the thorough learning
of a language, not to mistake one part of si)eech
for another, we finish this section with giving a
classical and methodical scheme for parsing a
sentence. The examples, with very little change,
may suit any language.
Article. Qufstions: Is it defiiite, or indefinite
partitive? What gender 1 What number?
Examples. Le ponvoir du roi, tke power of tht
hivg; itt'libette des honunes, the liberty of vicu.
J'ai du pain, de la viaiule, <its pommes ; I have
bread, meat, apples.
.Application. /.«, definite art. ms. — rfit, contrac-
tion of de le, definite art. ms.— Aa, definite art.

der pi — (/M,inthescnseofs</>nc,indi;f. part, ms --
dcla, in the .'Hiu.se of .•}<;/«e,indef. pait. fs. — des, in
llie sense of some, indef. part, com gender, pi.
Substantive. Ques*iiiis: What gender? what
number? Ifthe noun be singular, name its plural ;
if it be plural, name its singuliir.
Examples. Le pouroir du roi; la liberli des
homines'; le priz des denrees, the price of provi
sions.
.application. I'ouvoir, substantive, ms. pou
voirs, for its pi. — JAberte, subst. fs. liberies^ for
its pi. — Prix, subst. i^s. prix for its pi.— Denr^cs,
subst. f. pi. denree for its singular.
Adjective. Qursiions: What gender? what
Duiuber 1 what docs it agree with in tJ\e sM\t<?i^ce1
xli
If it be masculine, name its fern. If it be femi-
nine, name its ms.
Examples. Un beau chapeau, a fine hat; ces
femmes soxitjolies; those ladies are pretty; cette
fille est orgueilUuse — tkat girl is proud.
Jipplication. Beau, noun adj. ms. agrees with
chapeau; it lias belle for its feminine. — Jolics,
noun adj. f. pi. agrees with femmes ; it has joli
for its masculine Orgutilleuse, noun adj. fs.
agrees with fille; it has orgucilleux, for its mas-
culine.
Pronoun. Questioiis: Is it personal, possessive,
relative, demonstrative, or iiideterminatel What
gender 7 what nuntber 1 witli wiiat does it agree
in the sentence ?
Examples. Elle a mon livre, she has my book.
Cette plume ne vaut rien, this pen is good for
nothing. L'homme qui vous paiioit, the man
who was speaking to you. 11 y a qudques amies,
some years ago.
..fipplication. Elle, pronoun pers. fs. — Jl/o/i,
pronoun poss ms. agrees with liore — Cette, pro-
noun demonstr. fs. agrees with plume — Qui, pro-
noun rel. common gendei and numher, agrees with
hommc — Quelques, pronoun indoter. pi. common
gender, agrees with annecs.
Verb. Questions: Name its infinitive — its per-
son—its number — its tense — its mood.
Examples. Pendant tju'lis etoient ensembl6,
feiitendis sonner midi ; while they were together,
J heard twelve o^ clock strike. Quoiqu'il paroisss
heureux, n'aiviez pas son sort; tho' he may stem
happy, do not envy his situation.
jipplication. Ktoicnt, iroui itre ; 3d pers.pl.
imperf. tense, indie, mood — Entendis, ftom en-
tendre; 1st pers. sing, preterite deriniie, indica-
tive mood— faroisse, {rom par o'ttre, 3d pers. sing
pr. tense, subjunct. mood — Envicz, from cnvier ;
2d pers. pi. imperat. mood.
Preposition. Wliat does it govern hi the sen-
tence ?
Examples. Avant midi; sans argent; before
noon; without money.
Jipplication. Jloant, a preposition, governs
midi — sans, a preposition, governs argent.
Conjunction. What mood does it require!
Name the verb it acts upon in the sentence.
Examples. Eorsque le roi enira, when the king
came in. — Quoique vous soyez riche, tho' you be
rich. JeUspour in' aiuustr, I read to amuse myself.
Jipplication. Eorsque, a conjunction, requires
the indie. — Here it governs eutra. — Quoiquc, a
conjunction, requires the subjunct. — Hero it go-
verns soyez — Pour, a conjunction, requires the
infinitive — Here it governs amuser.
Advetbs and interjections. Only name them.
Examples, jih! mon ami, agissez prudem-
ment: ah, my friend, act prudently.
Application. Ah is an interjection — Prudem-
meat is an adverb.
SECTION IV.
UND A MENTAL RULES OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE
GENERAL DIRECTIONS. Never neglect to
ascertain the parts of speech which compose the
English sentences you have to turn into French.
1. For a Verb— Make sure of its mood, person,
number, and tense, look for its subject, and ob-
serve whether it has an object.
that occur in almost every French sentence —
Tl;e Ibt The verb agrees in person and number
with its subject. Ex. Je parle, vous parlez, il
parlc, mon ftere parle ; nous parlous, il parlent,
mes freres parleront, mon frere et ma siBur ont
parle.— The 2d. The article agrees in gender and
2. For a Substantive — Ascertain its gender and number with its substantive, and so do the adjec-
number
3. For an Adjective— Find the Substantive with
which.it agrees.
4. For a Preposition and a Conjunction— Ob-
nerve what word or words they govern in the
sentence.
5. Never lose sight of two fundamental rules
tive and pronoun. Ex. liC bon pere, un inechant
pere, les bons pcres: la honne mere, une ni6-
chant mere, les bonnes meres.
This previous care rcrt//y shortens the time re-
quired for writing an e.xcrc ise ; anil prevents that
random manner of composing which torments the
mast<;rs, and disgusts llie pupils.
SYNTAX OF THE ARTICLES. See page xvi.
N. B. When the learners come to this sijclion,
it may be supposed they are ablo to make out a
common Frt- neh sentence ; therefore no traiisla-
lioTi will be given to the examples. But, in sup-
posing the contrary, they may first b<; employed
in translating the examples, which will thus ac-
cidentally become doubly useful.
1. Nouns us<;d in a general sense; take no article
in English, but they must have the definite arti-
cle in French. Ex. Le pain est cher. La vie n'esi
xlii
qii'un songe. Lcs rois ne sont que des homines.
La paii ei raboiidance rendeut les homines heu-
reiix
2. By a consequence of the preceding rule,
names of countries, kingdoms, and provinces
lake no article in English^ but tliey receive tne
definite article in French.
Rx. La France est plus grande que I'Angle-
terre, plus petite que la Kubsie, et aussi grande
que I'Espagne. La Brctagne est moins fertile
que la Aorinandie. L' Arabic a la Perse a rE:st,
et PAfriipie au Sud.
3. If the sentence expresses the going to a
country (in Europe) or the coining from Tt, the
article is commonly supplied by the prepositions
en and de — But, if the country is not in Europe,
the preceding rule has generally its lull force.
F.x. Guand irez-vousen France, "en Espagne, en
Itaiie, en Turquie? II vieui d'arriver de Portu-
gal, de Russie, de Pologne, de Suede— 11 est alle
au Japon, a la chine, au Me.\ique, au Perou.
J'arrive du Perou, de la Guiane, de I'lndostan.
4. When two comparatives are set, either in
opposition, or in conipari&:>n, in the same sen-
tence, the definite article expressed in English,
is not to be rendered in French. Kx. Plus je la
vols, plus je I'aime. Plus je le frcquenle, moins
je restiine.
5. A noim of measure and u-eight takes the ar-
ticle a or an in English, and the definite le, la in
French. — Par often supplies /<•, la in sf>eaking of
reckoning, salary, attendance, &c. F.%. La viande
EC vend oiize sous la livre. Cette dentelle vaut
nne guin6e I'aune. Ce diner nous coulera six
chelins par t^'te. Ou voiis demandera deux che-
lins par mille. Je lui donne cinquante guin6es
par an. Je donne deux guinees par mois, etje
recois deux leconspar semaine.
6. Of is frequenly understood in English, and
pupplied by an aiKistrojihe. but it must be ex-
pressed in French. F.x. Le cliapeau de mon frere.
Le manchon de masccur. La modestie de Caro-
line. Les folles depenses de votre ami.
7. Of is likewise suppressed in Englieh in
many comfxtund nftuns, but it must be expressed
in French ; viz.
Sometimes by «}, aw, a la, h V , aux, to express
how things are prepared or combined, or to de-
fine tlieir fitness and instrumental use. Fx. Un
inoulin a raft'e. De la prmdre a canon. Le march6
au foin. Du frcmiage a la creme. La bouieille a
I'encrc. — Likewise to describe a jierson or a thing
by some distinctive sijrn or habit, fx La fenuiie
p.iix huiircs. La demoise le au rnhan bleu.
Sometimes by de, to express a simple relation
between two ncruns, the second of which has al
ways tJie mcanitig of an adjective. In Jiabit d'e-
cariate. Un jKintde pierre. Des has de soic Une
maison de bnque. Un carossede remise, a glajsa
cuach.
b. When a preposition and a noun, or a verb
and a noun, present tlie sense of an adjective or
of an adverb; that is, express only one idea, no
article is to be used. Ex. Je suis sans amis. IVous
vivons sans souci. Etudiez avec attention. II a
confiance en vrus. J'ai compassion de lui
9. Proper names take no article, excejit those
of s<jme renowned Italian poets and painters ,
and some names formed from common substnn
lives. Ex. Ale.vandre, Pyrrhus et Cesar ont de-
sole la terie ; le Tasse, I'Arioste, et le Titien ont
illusire I'lialie. Lisez les fables de ia Fontaine,
et les caracteres de la Bmyere.
10. When some or any are either expressed or
understood in English, they are rendered into
French by the partitive article du, de. In, do /',
des, or the preposition de before adjectives. Ex.
J'ai du papier, de la cire, de I'encre et des plumes.
Avez vous achele du the. delamoutarde, de I'in-
digo et des cerises? II a du courage et de Ja ge-
ne recite.— J'ai de beau jtapier, d'excellente cire,
de bonne encre etde bonnes plumes.
11 . But if the adjective and substantive form
together a kind of compound noun, that is, pre-
sent but one idea, the article resumes its right.
Ex. C'est un admirateur du bon touet du bel-es-
prit. Cet homme a du bon sens.
J2. The French make use of de in some par-
ticular phrases— After quclque chose, ritn, quoi,
qudqu'un persovnc, pns, point, avtant, assei,
benucoup, and all adverbs expressing quantity.—
Before a participle preceded by a noun of num-
ber. ITr. Quelque chose d'etoimant. Jenesais
rien de nouveau. Quoi de plus juste que cette
loi ! Y a-t-il quelqu'un de mecontent? 11 n'a pas
d'argent. Je n'ai point d'ambition. Nous avons
auiant de livresque vous. Elle a beaucoupd'en-
fans. II y a eu deux officiers de blesses, et dix
hommes de tue.*.
\'.\. Bien, in the sewse of beaueonp. requfresthc
df finite article, whereas beaucovp takes only de.
Ex. Bien du chacrin— beaucoup de chagrin
Bien des amis — beaucoup d'amis. Bien de Tar-
pent— beaucoup d'argent. Bien de la modestie —
beaucoup de nKxiesiie
14. The articles a and the are often inserted in
the form of a short parenthesis, when they are
not to ne expressed in French. Ex. Le Due d'Or-
leans, prince du sang, a ete guillotine a Paris,
Alexandre fils de Philippe, tua son anru Clym»,
xliii
- n guerre, fleau dcs peuples, est le jeu des priu-
-. Les plus belles tieurs, iiaturelle image de la
iiut , ne dureiit t;uere i)lus d'uii jour.
15. 4 and one used in English before hundred
and thousand, are not to be expressed iu Frencli.
Ex. J'ai gagne niille guin6fes. Je vous en prete-
tai cent. L'an mil liuil cent dix ncuC Dussions-
iious vivre cent ans, disons nreme mille ans, il
nous resteroit encore bien des clioses a appren-
dre,
16. Tlie article a is not to be expressed in
Frencli, after tiie verbs etrc, devenir, passer., pour,
&c. wlien they have not ce for their subject. Ex.
II est niedecin. Elle est duchesse. Vous devien-
drez royaliste — C'est un jii6decin. C'est une
duchesse.
The reason of tlie rule is, that, in the construc-
tion williout cc, tJie substantive is taken a</;'ecai;e-
SVNTAX OF
1. We repeat again, as a very essential rule,
that the adjective must agree with its suljstantive
in gender and number. Ex. Un liomme adroit,
des homines adroits. Une femme adroite, des
femmes adroites.
2. When two or m'ire substantives have a
conunon adjective, thai adjective nmst be in the
plural. — If the substantives are of ditlerent gend<.'r,
the adjective must be of the masculine plural.
Ex. Monfrereet mononclesonthardis. Masceur
et ma tante sont hardit^s. Mont frure et ma soeur
bont liardis.
3. If there is no verb between the substantives
and tlie adjective, Ihat adjective agrees v/iih the
last substantive. Ex. Cet acleur jnue-avec un
gout et une nobhwse (;liarniante. Cet acteur joue
avec une noblesse et un gout charmaut.
4. The jilace of an adjective in French, is com-
monly aficr its substantive.* Ei. Je hais le tenis
froid. J'ainie la nnisique Iialien?ie. Elle avoit
une robe blene. Une fennne douce et modeste.
5. However, we may observe here that the ad-
jectives beau, hon, grand, petit, jeuve,joli, mau-
vnis, and mf-ehant are generally plac(-d before
their s'.ibstaiitivcs. Ex. Un bean cheval. Un bon
ly, and the Frencli syntax does not permit to
place an article before an adjective, separated
from its substantive by a verb. We exjilain in
the syntax of tiie verbs, vvlien cc in to be used.
17. Tiie article is to be repeated in Frencli be-
fore all the substantives that are oitiier tiie sub-
ject or the object of the same vci b. Ex. Le bled,
le vin, I'huile et les legumes soni les licliesses
naturelles d'un etat. J'admire la patience, 1' in-
duslrie, I'economie, la sobriete et la perseverance
d'un bon agriciilteur.
18. The preposition in, which follows a super-
lative in English, is rendered into French by du,
de la, de V, des, de. Ex. Elle passe pour la plus
belle femme de Londres. C'est le plus beautema
de I'annee. Je iiommerois bien hs plus grands
coquins du royaume. La plus giande villc des
Pays Bas.
THE NOUxNTS.
enfant. Une grande femme. De petits oiseaux.
Une jeunehlle. Dejolisrubans. Demauvais vin.
Un intchaiit hoiiime.
G. JVm, naked, and demi, Jialf, agree with their
substantive, when they follow it ; and remain in-
declinable when they precede it. Ex. II va nu-
pieds, nu-tete ; il va les pieds nns, la tete«nue.
J'ai achete une aiine et demie de diap, et une
demi-aiine de dentelle.
7. Tout, ill the sense of all and whole, agrees in
gender and number with its substantive. Ex
Tout le royaume, toiite la terre ; tons les liom-«^
UK'S, toutes les femmes.
But tout in the sense of though, evtr so jnnch,
and (juitc, has a very irregular construction be-
fore adjectives, substantives takt-n adjectively,
and adverbs. — If the adjective is masculine, tout
is aiioays indeclinable. — If the adj'Ctive is fe-
minine, most writers make towt deilinalile before
a consonant, and indeclinable beline a vowel. —
Ex. Un hoiiime tout jilein de cduir; des homines
tout pleins de C(Eiir. Tout brave qu'il e&t; tout
braves qu'ils sont — Kile est tout attligf^'e ; elle est
loute rejouie ; ellcs sont tout atiligef-s ; elles sont
tontcs itijouies. — Tout aiinable (jn'elle est ; tout
* I say cnmiaoiilij, because it often happens that
t!ie same adji'ctivcs may be placed eitln.'r b(;foie
or after their subslaiitives. But, this depending
on a nicety of criticism and ear, which nothing
but a long practice can give, and which it would
be injudicious to suppose in beginners, I think it
necessary to avoid such a dissertation in these
Clements. - When the learners are well grounded
in the fundanienial rules ; and liave, by reading
much, sntticiently harmoiii/.ed their ears to the
elegant and select turns of the French language,
they may have lecom-st tu the Complitc Sy.-<tnn
of ihc French Languagi-, by Mr. SALMON* from
liage •2!t7 to 310, an e.vcellent treatise, which I
have carefully consulted, with great pleasure to
myself, and considerable advantage to this little
work.
x\W
aiinables qu'ellcs sont — Toiiie jolie qu'elle est,
toutes Jolics qij'elles soiii — Elle est tout ceil el
lout oreille ; elles soiit tout ceil et tout oreille.
ri. Quflque in the sense of some, agrees willi
its substantive. £x. Q,uelque lioniine, quelques
homnies.
Quii'jue with que in the sense of though, what-
ever, is declinable: — when it is joined to a sub-
stantive alone— or, to a substantive followed by
its adjective — or, to an adjective iminediatebj fol-
lowed by its substantive — But, it is indeclinable
before an adjective, not iiumediately followed by
its substantive— In all those cases the verb must
lie put in the subjunctive. Ex. (iur-lques litres
que vous ayez. Ciu»'lques litres 6clatans que vous
ayez. (iuel>;ues grands litres que vous ayez.
Quelque puissans que soient les rois.
Quelgue, in the sense of whatever, immediately
followed by a verb, in French, is resolved into the
declinable adjective quel, quelle, quels, quelles,
with que close to it, and the verb in the subjunc-
tive. Ex. Quel que soil cet homme. Quelle que
jiaroisse sa situation. Quels que puissent etre
vos litres. Quelles que soient vos raisons.
y. The adjective, without a substantive, is of
the masculine gender, and lakes the article ; be-
cause it has then the full value of a substantive.
Ez. Preferous I'ulile a Tasr^able. Les enfans
aiment le rouge. Le beau n'est pasloujours bon.
J'aime niieux le vert que le bleu.
10. The adjectives of dimension, such as hipk,
d'cp, broad, Slc. have a peculiar construction in
French. — Observe carefully; \st, to use acoir in-
stead of ctre, when the adjective of dimension is
turned into a substantive; 2ndlij, to repeal de be-
SYNTAX OF T
Persoiuil Pronouns. — 1. .\ pronoun personal

0. , .t. 0. o.
Its proti'geons. II lui parlera. Consolez-la. Par-

2. A jironoin personal subject cannot be parted
from its verb but by ,i pronoun personal object,
tiifc snpplyina pronouns y, en, or the negative nr.
Ez. \ou3 voyons souvenl voire frere. Je vous
aimerai toiijours. Vous en parlez sans cesse. Je
ne m'y fi-^ pas— .^nd not; Je toujours vous aime-
rai ; no'13 souvent, voyons, &c.
3. When m»ny pronouns of different persons
re Uie subject of a verb, they become disjunc-
fore the number, and before the substantive of
dimension, with the verb etre, and with void,
voila. Ex. Ce mur a vingt pieds de hauteur et
trois de largeur. Voili un mur de vingt pieds de
hauteur, et de trois de largeur ; or, de haul £z. de
largo.
We might likewise say with the verb 6tre and
an adjective — (,'e nmr csl haul de vingt pieds et
large de trois.
11. When an ordinal number is added in Eng^
lish to proper names, in order to point out their
order or rank, we make use of a cardinal number
in French, e.vcept for_^rs£aiid seco/iei that remain
ordinal. Ex. Henri premier, second, trois, qualre,
cinq, six, sept, hull.
12. An adjective becomes comparative in
French, by adding to it plus more, mains less,
aussi so, tant so much, autant as much. Ez. Elle
est plus belle, moins belle, aussi belle quesas4Eur.
II n'a pasiaiitdf vanite que son frere. Voirs ar\'ez
aut:int d'enncmis que d'amis.
It appears from these examples that than and
a.i, in the second term of a comparison, are ex-
pressed by que.
Tlie pnposiiion by, after a comparative, and
Iwfore a noun expre.s?mg dimension or quantity,
is conuuonly rendered into French by de. Ez.
Vous etes plus haul que moi de deux pouces.
I'.L The superlative is expressed in French by
Ic, la, les, prefixed to plus ou moins— in is rendered
by de, du, dc la, &cc. and que after a superlative
retpiires the subjunctive. Ex. Le plus bel homme
de la ville. La plus belle femme que je connoisse.
Los ,.lus grands coquins de J'Europe. Le plus
heurcux jour de ma vie.
HE PRONOUNS,
live, and a pronoun conjunctive in the plural
number, and of the noblest person, is generally
added to represent them all. Ex. Lui, elle, et
moi nous allanies hier a la comtdie. Vous, Jul,
et moi, nous ne nous accorderons jamais. Vous
et lui, vous apprendrez le Francois.
You might place the disjunctive pronouns after
the verb, and say— Nous allames hier a la com6-
die, lui, elle, et moi, &c. But not — lui, elle el
moi allames, &.c. Vous el lui apprendrez, &c.
4. However, when third persons only are the
subject of a verb, no other pronoun is to be re-
peated. Ex. Mon '"rere et lui viendront demain.
Lui, elle, eux et ma soeur apprenent le Fran-
cois.
5. When a pronoun personal i? governed by
a verb, place it between the subject and the
verb. Ex. Je le connois. Vous la connoisscz.
xlv
Jc \ee connois, et je leur parlc souvent. — N. B. direct.-'N. B. The .lircci ohj.ct is never nffccl
i\o pronoun atfecled with de, except e?i, can be ed by a preposition ; and llie indirect object is
placed before a verb wliich governs it, witliout always afl'ected by de or o, expressed or under-
being followed by que conductive. Ex. Je parle stood. JEi. Je vous le dirai. Vous nous les

But, with verbs in the imperative without a

The pronouns are jilaced after the imperative.
Ex. Donnez-le-nous ; envoyez-le-nous.
2dly. JIfc and tc become 7noi and toi, except
xlvi
Rt. On craint de se voir tel qu'on est, parce que
Ion a*est pas ce qu'on devroit etre.
14. On must be repeated before every verb
that has the saun; subject. Ez. On epie'la tor-
tune, on travaille, on se fatigue, on cherche lous
les nioyens de la rixer ; el apres bien des soiiis,
le tonibeau s'ouvre, et i'on s'appercoit trop tard
que tout ici bas nest que vanite.
15. Avoid tile passive turn so conunon in
English ; and by the means of on, bring the
verbs to an active slate, in such sentences as iJie
following ones. Ez. On n'a pas encore recu les
ictlres qu'oa attendoit. On a fait de grandes
rcjouissances, et Ton ne sait trop pourquoi. On
a en voy6 ordre de ramener les troupes, et Ton
espere qu'elles arriveront demain. On seroil
toujours en pai.Y, si Ton diminuoit de moitie, eu
teuis de guerre, ies profits des gens en place.
16. En^ in some particular phrases, and with
the adverbs of quantity, is not to be expressed in
English ; but it cannot bo dispensed with in
French. Ez. Vous avez plus d'oranges que je
n'en ?i. Vous n'avcz pas tant de livres que j'en
ai. Avez-vous autant di chevau.x en France que
nous en avons en Angleterre 1 II en est de vous
m^ POSSESSIVE PROxXOUNS.
1. All poaaessive Pronouns, either conjunctive
or relative, but mor-e clearly those of the third
person, a?ree, in English, with the possessor of
%^hing, and in French with the thing possessed.
^Mt. Votre fiere a perdu son chapeau ; votre
gfEur a perdu son chapeau. Votre mere a perdu
sa boarse ; votre pere a perdu sa bourse.
Translate these examples, and you will find
the English ones ruled by the gender of the
P')S.?i;s9ors, fnre, sttur, mere, pere; and the
French, by the gender of the thing possessed,
chap^fin bourse.
2. When a noun feminine begins with a vow-
oT, or an h mii!e, the French sacrifice the syntax
to harmony, and make use of motiy ton, son, in-
.stead of ma, ta, sa. Ez. .Min anie est fort uu-
deasiis de ma fortune. — Ton indn.-Jtrie te nienera
loin. Son insolence lui fera perdre tons ses amis.
Mo!i humanit6, ton humeur, son humility.
3. The personal pronouns supply in French
the possessive pronouns, when we speak of the
several parts of the body, or even of any thing
boloniing to the body, such as life, cnurairc, com-
â– plcrion, sirrht, noicr, mind. Sec. If that turn cre-
ates no ambiaiiiiy— £;?. J'ai mal a la t6te. II
s'est coupe ledoigt. Vous avez I'reil enfl6. II
m'a attaqu6 I'honneur. Vousm'arrachcriez plu-
tot !a vie. Lc courage lui manque.— But say .•
cnmme de moi. II en est de cela coinme de la
plupart des choses du monde.
17. Le is often usod,to represent either a part
of a sentence, or an adjective, or a substantive
e.mployfid adjrcrivcly ;.aud it is then indeclina-
ble— It is rendered into English by so, and
someiinies not expressed at all. Ex. Ditcs-moi,
mon ami, pourriez-vous aller a pied de Londres
a York 1 Oui, je le pourrois. Ei bien, Mesdamcs,
etes-vous tres occupees 1 Recllement, nous le
sommes. Ust-eUii tiWe (unmarried?) Oui, et je
pense qu'elie le sera long-temps.
But, when the word "represented is really a
substantive, or an adjective employed stibstaji-
ticcly, then make use of le, la, les, according to
the gender and number of that substantive. Ez.
<^tes-vous la fille de Mr. West? Oui, Monsieur,
jo la suis. Etes-vous la malade que ^ladanie
Clinton m'a recommand6e7 r^on, Monsieur, jc
ne la suis pas.
If the substantive is of the plural number, it ia
better to avoid making use of les, in order to
give an easier turn to the sentence. Ex. Etes-
vous les filles de Mr. Coke 1 Oui, Monsieur—
without nous les sommes.
See page six, and the N. B.
Je crois que ma jambe est onflee. Ponrquol
vous moquez-vous de ma t6te chauvel— /-d
jambe and la tete would render the sentence am
biguous.
4. In a familiar way of addressing persons,
the possessive pronoun is left out in English, bul
not in French. Ex. Voulez-vous faire un toui
de jardin, ma soeur ? Reellement, je ne le puis
mon frere.
5. In speaking of inanimate objects, the pos-
sessive its and thrir are expressed in French by
en. — Ex. Cette plante est fort commune, ct ce-
pendant je n'en connois pas les vert us. Cettc
maison inc plait; j'en aime la situation.
6. In the English phrases in which the word
sake \s joined to a possessive pronoun, the French
make use of a personal pronoun. Ez. Faitoa
le pour I'amour de moi, de lui, de nous, &c. Do
it for my sake, &.c.
7. The relative possessive pronouns mine,
thine, yours, &;c. agree, like the conjunctive, with
the nouns to which they relate, and they take the
definite article in French. Ez. Votre frere et le
mien ; votre soeur et la mienne. — See page xix.
8. When the verb to be, in the sense of to be-
Ions to, is joined to a relative possessive pronoun,
and has a noun for its subject, the pos.'=essive
pronoun is rendered into French by a personaJ
xlvii
pionouu. JEr. Ce livre est a moi. Cctte uiai- rendered into French by a conjunctive posses-
ton eat a nous. Cet eventaii est a elle. sive. Ex. \Ji\ de uies amis ma niontre un da

RELATIVE PRONOUNS. See page xx.
I. Qui and que, without a preposition, and he- lative pronoun, in speaking of situation, place,
r re a verb, are apphcable to any substantive. Ex. and time. Ex. C'estune atiaire oii il vaut mieux
/Uomuie qui parle; la femme qui chante; ie

3. Dont is used for all genders and numbers,
and it is applicable to any substantive, but it can
never be interrogative. — Ex. L'homme dont je

be used but with verbs that require a preposition.

S. Many nouns, in Uie singular, connected ns
the subject of a verb, will have that verb in tlie
plural number. Kx,. Sa douceur, sa poJitesse,
sa francliise, et so!i savoir lui lout irouver des
amis par-ioul ou il va. Voire insolence, votre
grossierct6, votre duplicite et voire pedanterie
faliauent tous ccux \\iic vous Iruquentez.
When \vc conclude an enumeration of objects,
the words toiu and ricn may determine Die verb
to tJie singular, and give a lively turn to the sen-
tence. Ez. Meis simples, ragoiiis, chair, poisson,
legumes, tout est Iwn quand on a faim. Gestes,
s'jupirs, regards, pensees, rieu n'6chapp€ a la ja-
kiusie.
4. After adverbs of quantity, such as beaucoup,
pcu, tant^ (See. and after collective nouns, such as
lajjlupurt, nonibre, sorte, espcce, troupe, ice. fol-
lowed by a noun plural, the verb becomes plu-
ral. Ex. Beaucoup de personnes sont capables
de faire une action sage ; mais bien peu savent
faire une action genoreuse. IJn petit nonibre
d'amis lui resttrenu Tant de fantaisies devien-
nent ennuyantes, &.c.
5. When two verbs come togetlier, if the se-
cond has no subject, it is to be put in the infini-
tive; whetlier the sign to be prefixed to it or not.
Kr. V'oulez-vous me preier votre dictionnairel
Je n'ose lui parer.— J'ailai sur le champ descen-
dre a une hotellerie pres du chateau.
C. If the first verb is the auxiliary to kavc, or
to be, the second verb must be used in the parti-
ciple. Ez. II a abuse de mon amitie. Nous
avons veiidu nos chevaux. Vous ctes arriv6 trop
tard. II.-: seront severement punis.
7. When to be expresses a necessity, or an in-
tention, it is rendered by devoir, with the second
verb in the infinitive. Ez. Devez-vous partir ce
5oir? Nous devoiis aller demain a Windsor.
8. j], de, and pour. A verb, or a noun, may
govern another verb in the infinitive, either with
a, de, and pour, or sometimes without any pre-
position.
y. A is used before an infinitive — when to
might be expressed by in with a gerund — to ex-
press an inclination to something— to denote
employment, occupation, use— when the verb has
a passive turn which is or might be rendered by
to be into English.— T^z. II se plait a dtssiner.
.'" m'amuse a ecrire ct a lire— Jaime a conver-
?nr. Vous disposez-vous a partir pour Oxford?
Elle s'attache a vous fiaire en uiut. II m'en-
seigne a jouer du violon. Vous ra'autorisez a
vous parler sincerement. C'est une affaire a
vous ruiner. Cela m'aide a vivre. Ce cheval me
sert a tirer et a porter. — Voila des fruits bons a
cueillir. Sa compagnie est a 6vitcr. Celte gucrro
est difficile a souienir.
10. JJc is used before an infinitive, when to
may be supplied by of or from with a gerund.
£^1 Vous nrempechez de iravailler. J'eus bien
tot une autre occ;ision d'employer mon credit.
Ne vous lassez pas de vous monirer a la cour.
JafTectai de recevoir ses ordres d'un air gia-
cieux.
IJ. Pour before a verb, determines the cause
or the end of an action, and commonly answers
to in order to in English. Ez. J'interromiJis
mon secretaire jKiur lui demandcr, oii il avt'il
pris ces livres. II ne fera jamais rien pour voui
obliger. Nous eclalions souvent de rire, moina
pour applaudir a ses saillies que pour nous en
nio(iuer.
1:2. Some verbs govern the infinitive without
any preposition before it. TIil' most usual are
aller, venir, devoir, oser, paro'Ure, scmbler, pou-
Toir,falloir, vuuloir, croire, compter, daigTicr,Scc
Ez. Allez diner. Venez me voir. Je dois ecrire
a votre frere Osez-vous me repondre de 1?
sorlcl Vous paroisiez vous ennuyer, Je |>our
rois me passer de lui. Il faut savoir se taire. J«
ne veux plus le voir. Je sais vivre de peu.
13. The infinitive is elegantly used, without a
preposition ; sometimes iis the subject of th«
sentence; and sometimes with the ellipsis of the
verb wliich governs it. Ex. Moiirir n'est lien,
quand on a bien vecu. S'occuper de fotcs et de
danses, quand les pauvrcs nieiirent de faini, c'esi
insulter a riiumanite. Moi: revoir cet hoinine !
Jamais. Vous! tamper sous cet ignorant San-
gradol N'tn faites rien.
INDICATIVE. 1. Let us ob.<crve that the
Englisli turn of tlie verb to be, joined to a ge-
rund, must be av(jided in French. Ex. 1 am
writing; Jie was dancing, v/e were dining, &.c.
— J'^cris; il dansait, nous dinions — Or, with the
preposition a; Je suis a ecrire; il etoit a dan-
ser ; nous ctoins a diner. — But never: Je suis
ecrivanl, &.c.
2. The presait in English answers to the pre-,
sent in French. Ez. Je travaille. je vols quel-
ques amis, et je tache de me croire heureux.
3. The present tense elegantly supplies the
preterite, in lively descriptions ; and sometimes
it represents the future. Ez. La fuieur qui
animoit cet audacieux, excita la niienne. Je
m'avance pour le punir, et nous commencons un
rude combat. Dona Helena et sa suivante en-
tendent le bruit des ep^es ; elles poussent de
grands cris, qui obligeni Ics valets a se lever
lis sont bientot sur pied, et ils accourent pou
xlix
j^parer les combatlans ; mais ils arrive rent trop
t;ml. — Je pars deiuain, avez-vous quelques or-
ates a me donrior 1 La poste arrive ce soir ; at-
tiiidez-vous des letlres.
•1. Tile future is generally used in French as
I English — Ex. La philnso|)hie tSclairera les
onnnes; ils cesseront enfin d'etre ligres. Nos
iM ULs-neveux se demanderont ce qu'on appeloit
j-uidatsdans le dixneuvieme siecle, et rhunianiie
li'ur fera verser des larracs, ea hsant noire his^
tojre.
5. The preterite indefinite, or compound of the
[iresent (fai aime, fai Jini, &c.) denotes an ac-
iion which has hap[tened in the day in which we
'rj.eak — (jr, in a lime past, but not specified— or,
.1 a lime past, but which holds to a period slill
■visting. — Kz. J'ai dejenne ce matin avec voire
Feur, et nous avons beaucoup parle de vous.
J'ai vu voire frere il y a quelques jours; j'ai
loujours dit que Tinconstance seroit la cause
de sa mine ; il ra'a souvent promis de s'appliquer,
ni;us il ne m'a jamais lenn parole. J'ai en la
tievre au commencement du prinienis. J'ai din6
deux I'ois avec voire pcre dans le con is de ce
Miois. Nous avons eu bien des r6voluiions [)en-
flant ce siecle.— Here the time of the fever, &c.
is really piist ; but the whole of tJie spring, of the
week, and of the century, is not elapsed, when 1
;ii)i sptiaking ; therefore such a lime isconsideied
just as the day in which I exist.
a. Tlic imperfect (J'aaiiois, jc fmissois, Sec.)
"xpre?ses an action beffuu before the time we now
hung to our consideration, ax\dfinis/icd we know
not when — or an action expressed as habitual —
or an action which miglit have been habitual, if
nothing had hindered il from taking place. Kz.
I'oursuivis par les Maurcs, ces inforlun^s vivoient
sur les montagnes, ou demeuroient dans des sou-
terrains — J'appercus des cuisiniers qui pr«^pa-
roient un feslin. Ceux-ci mettoient des converts,
ceux-Ia remplissoient de vin dee cruches de terre,
et les aulres tournoient des broches, oii il y avoit
toutes sortes de viandes. — Richelieu respiroii la
hauteur et la vengeance ; Mazarin 6toii sonple
et avare— Si les hommes 6toie.U plus sages, s'ils
vivoient en freres, s'ils savoient apprecicr tons
les avanlages de la paix, la guerre ccsseroit bien-
t6t <!'exercer ses fureurs.
7. The preterite or definite tense, {faimai, je
re^us, je vins, &c.) denotes an action begun and
finished in a time entirely past and specified. Ex.
Nous vimes alors sortir du village et enlrer dans
la plaine, uq grand concours de personnes ; c'eioi-
ent les deux 6poux. Nous aliames au-devant
d'eux, et Diego se fit connoitre. Des cris de joie
s'eleverent dans rassembl6e, et chacun s'em
pressa de courir a lui. Nous passames .a nuit
dans ce bouig, et nous partimes de leuucmain
pour Cuenca.
*;^* A s tiiose tenses are very puzzling to begin-
ners, let us explain them furlJier.
In any narration a time of action is chosen,
wliicli lime the speaker supposes present; and
all tile actions that nappen then, and finish then,
aie to he related in a preterite tense— The ac-
tions whicli existed beloie the lime chosen for
the narration, and are supposed to continue ex-
isting during that lime, are to be described hi
the iinpcrfrct tense. The actions which have
liappened before the time chosen for the narra-
tion, but without our knowing piecisely when
they have happened, are to be related in a ftre-
terite iiideJiintc—By which it ajipears that the
Imperfect di. scribes; the Preterite indefinite re-
lates, without marking any time ; and the Pre-
terite rtlatis a series of facts past in a lime spe-
cified, and made now present.
*:^* Let the beginner try to apply tiie preced-
ing definitions and remarks to the following past
tenses.
J'etois dans cette disposition, quand j'appercus
dans le jardin un paysan qui me regardoii avec
alteniion. Je crus que c'etoil un jardinier: je
I'eiivisageai, el je m'imaginai reconnoitre le
nialheurcux Alvar. Je poussai un grand cri. .
J'etois senle avec Ines qui avoit le plus de part
a ma confiance ; je lui dis le soupcon qui ni'agi-
toii.— Ehe dcscendit au jardin, et peu de terns
apres jr la vis rentrer fort 6inue. C'est Don Al-
var, n;e dit-elie. Connne je pouvois le recevoir
a riK urc meme, parce que le Marquis 6toit a
Hurirns, je chargeai ma suivante de I'amener.
Je !:; ivanruis df's qu'il entra. Ra«surez-vou8,
Ma<l:inif, me dit-il, je suis instruil de toutes les
peis. rutions que vous avez soufferles. On a r6-
pandu le bruit de ma mort, et vous I'avez cru,
parce qu'aiicune leltre de ma part ne vous assu-
roii du coniraire. Je sais de quelle maniere voiia
avez vecn, et que la n6cessit6, p!ut6t que I'aniour
vous a jct(-e dans les bras du Marquis.
SURJUxVCTlVE. We have here two ques-
tions to examine. The 1 jt— When is the sub-
junctive to be used in French 1 The 2</.— What
is the correspondence between the lenses of the
indicative, and those of the subjunctive ?
Some conjunctions, all comjKiunded oi qv
wavs require the subjunctive ; for wh' -«, al-
pnl'r. xxxvi. But que, by itself, sonv -^ "ee
qnirint: the subjunctive, and sonieti- .stimes re-
niiisl examine lire cause of that va- ^nes not, we
A .lation.
1. After all verbs (either icith or without a ne-
gaiioa) expressing doubt, ff^ar, icish, uncertainty,
cornrnanJ, nccessUy; or iiideed any passiov, af-
fection, or desire of the mind, que governs tiie
subjunctive. Ex. Je doute qu'il vienne. Je
Grains qu'il n'y aille. Je voudrois tju'ils fussent
partis. II est possible qu'elle parte sans voiia le
dire. Je suis surpris qu'ils vous aient parle de
la sorte. II faut que je sorte tout-a-l'lieurc. II
seroit fachoux que les ministres u'adoptassent
pas ce plan. J'admire qu'il dorme si tranquille.
Je serois bien-aise que nous les bactissions. Sup-
posotis que ce bruit vienne a se r6pandre ; que
ierez-vous ? La pluie empecha qu'on ue s'allat
promener. II est a propos, il est uecessaire, il est
juste que j'aille le voir.
2. After all verbs (without au interrogation
or a negation.) declaring neither doubt, fear, <Scc.
aat merely expressing certainty and belief , the
conjunction que governs the indicative. Ez. Je
crois qu'il viendra. Je repondis que j'avois tort.
Nous viinesqu'ils nous trouipoienl. Je demeure
d'accord qu'elle sait emouvoir les spectateurs.
Nous sentinies que nous avions atfaire a ua lia-
bile homine.
3. But, if such verbs are used either interroga-
tively or negatively, que governs generally the
subjunctive. Ez. Je ne crois pas qu'il puisse
r6us3ir. Pensez-vous que la pais se fasse eel
liiver 1 II n'est pas certain que vous puissiez lui
parler. Auroit-nn cru que des homnies hbrcs
eussent voulu se liguer contre la liberie ?
*,* I say generally, because it sometimes hap-
pens that que does not require the subjunctive,
after a verb used either interrogatively or nega-
tivcty.—This distinction requires some care and
judgment. — If the interrogation or negation sup-
poses uncertainty, then que requires the sub-
junctive; but, in the contrary case, que requires
the indicative.
Indeed, this remark might serve as a general
rule for the use of the subjunctive in any case,
but it would perhaps be supposing too much
grammatical accuracy in young people.
4. (^ui, que, dont, oil, or any relative jironoun,
serving to connect a verb with a relative super-
lative, such as Ic plus sage, la plus sage, ii.c.
will have that verb in the subjunctive. Ez. Cost
la plus belle femme que je connoisse. Vous parlez
du plus grand roi qui ait jamais exists. Un v6ri-
lable ami est le tresor le plus pr6cieux dont on
puiase jouir. II s'agit des affaires les plus d6-
licatca oi jamais ministre se soil trouv6 en
gae6.
5. By a consequence of the preceding rule,
qui, que, dont, Sec. generally require the subjunc-
tive after ^ew/, unique, premier, dernier, personne,
&.C. when they have the force of a superlative.
Ez. Cest le seul h^nmie qui nous ail obliges.
C'est r unique moycn qui puisse les convaincrc
de leur folie. Ces doux uiinistres seniles pre-
miers qui aint calcule de .>;ang-iroid les ressoureea
de la traude et do I'infamie. Cest le dernier
remude auquol vous puissiez avoir recours. Vous
lie irouverez personne qui vous soil plus sincere-
nient attache, (iuelques elforts que vous fassiez.
Je n'en ai parl6 a qui que ce soil.
6. When after si, que is used in the sense of
si, it requires the subjunctive. Ex. Si vous en-
trez dans sf)n jardin, et que vous y fassiez le
moindre dogat, vous le metlrez de mauvats hu-
meur.
7. In many cases the subjunctive is used, witJi-
out having any word to govern it ; but, il is al
ways easy to perceive that a wish, a condition,
or a supposition is understood. Ex. Puissiez
vous n'avoir jamais besoin des miichansl (/
wis/i.) Eussiez-vous la patience de Socrate, ccl
hom.'iie vous la feroit perdre— I suppose.
.After having explained when the subjunctive
is to be used, let us see what correspondence
exists between the indicative and the subjunc-
tive. That is, when the indicative in English,
is to be put in the subjunctive in French, to
which of the tenses of the French subjunctive
go£s each of the tenses of the English indicative.
1. Tbe present and the /uture of the indicative
go to the present of lite siibjuncUva Ez. Je ne
crois pas qu'il le fosse expres— Je ne crois pas
qu'il lo fasse expres— I do not believe he does it-
er will do it on purpose.
2. The imperfect and preteritr definite of the
indicative, and likewise the conditional, go to the
definite of the subjunctive. Ez. Quoique je nc
crusse pas ce qu'il me disoit— Je ne savois paa
que vous /ussic2 amis— Suppose que nous decoj**
vrissions leur coquineri« — Though I did not be-
lieve what he said. I did not know you were
friends. Suppose we should discover their
knavery.
3. The comjKjund tenses follow the order of
the simple tens<*s. That is— the compound of
the present and future of the indicative, go to the
compound present of the sulij.— The compound
of the imperfect, definite, and conditional of the
indicative, go to the compound definiu of the
Bubj. Ez. Quoiqu'il ait lu bien des livres, il ne
saitrien. Croyezvous qu'il ail eu I'imprudencc
d'en parler ? Je ne m'imaginois pas qu'ils voua
en eussent parli. Je ne croyois pae que voua
russiez vote pour lui. D auroit souhait6 que nous
eussions on son jaidiii.
PARTICIPLES. There are two sorts of par-
ticiples ; one is called gtrand or partidpi.e actioe,
always ending iii ant; and tlic otlier is called
participle pant — The I'oruier we siiniply call a-e-
rund in the following observations, and tlie latter
participle.
1. Tne gerund is always indeclinable. Ex.
George vuyant une rose, vouiut la cueillir ; C6-
cile ooyant une rose, &c. DeJie et Caroline voy-
aiU une rose, voulurenl la cueillir ; Guillaunie et
Coiisuinliii ooi/anl une rose, vouiurent la cueillir.
There are some gerunds and adjectives which
aie spell alike; but the adjectives aie declinable,
and the gerunds suffer no change. Ex. C'est
uiit honiine charniant; c'est une Itunnie cliar-
iaaiue— Cieopatre conquit Cesar en le charniant.
A little practice will soon clear up the dill'erence.
We shall only observe here- that the adjcctioe may
svith sense go before or after its substantive;
whereas the urrrunl cannot be transposed.
2. We use the gerund as seldom as we can in
French, and above all, in the same sentence; it
makes it appear stiif and affected— But, avoid
tarefully the English turn that permits to use
the gerund witli an article, or a pronoun. It is
very bad French— In sucli a case, make use of
a noun, or of a tense of the verb, fitted to the
sentence you have to translate. Practice, in this,
will go much farther than any rule ; but, how-
ever, we shall give you here some examples to
direct your stylo. Ex- I think that your speak-
ing to my father, would be useful to you — Je
crois que si vous parlicz a mon pere, vous vous
en trouvericz bien. Je crois qu'en parlant a
mon pere, &c Si vous consultez vos inttrets,
vous parlerez a mon pere. .Again; after his
h'loing given us .that account, he melted into
tears— Apres nous avoir fait ce detail, il fondit
en larmes. II nous fit ce detail, et il fondit
aussitot en larmes. II ne nous eut pas plutdt fait
ce detail qu'ii fondit en larmes. Again; my
biing poor and your being rich, is no reason for
your iudulting /we- Farce que je suis pauvre et
que vous etes riche, il ne s'ensuit pas que vous
deviez m'insulter. II est vrai que je suis pauvre,
et que vous etes riche ; mais cela ne vous donne
pas le droit de m'insulter. Parce que je suis
pauvre, et que vous etes riche, croyez-vous avoir
le droit de m'insulter J
*^* Remember tliat a verb may have twoobjecia
-One direct; that is, witliout any preposition —
The other indirect; that is, with the preposition
a or dc, expressed or understood. En always
implies de, and y always implies a.
3. The participle conjugated with etre has a
passive meaning, and always agrees, in gender
and number, vvitii the subject of tJie verb. Ez.
^lon frere est ckeri el rei>pecte; ma soeur est
cherie et respectce; mes freres sont cherts et
respcctcs; mes stjeurs sont cheries et respcctees.
Ces homnies out ete rtrprimandees et punis; cea
femmes out 6t6 ri-primandees et punis — By the
last examples you may perceive that wlien etu is
joint.d to any of the tenses of the verb avoir,
with another participle, the meaning is pas.sive,
and the second participle is considered as being
conjugated willi etre.
4. *Tiie participle conjugated with avoir has
an active meaning, and agrees in gender and
number with its direct object, when Jiiat direct
object precedes the participlj ; but, if the direct
object follows the participle, or if the object is
not direct, the participle remains indeclinable—
N. B. Le, la, les, que— me, te, se, nous, vous (jiot
implyin^iX moi, a loi, &c.) represent llie dkxct
object~E\i, y, lui, leur, doni, &c.— me, te, se,
nous, vous [implying a or de, as de moi, a moi,
&.C.) ropreseut the indirect object of the participle.
Ex. I^Ion pere a vu les chroaux que vous avez
achctes. Ma mere, a recu les poinmes que vous
* This rule is easy to be understood, but its
principle ofreu perplexed mo, when I tried to
account for that transition, apparently arbitrary,
ffOm declinu/'iliCy lo indeclinability and nice vcr-
sd. I beg leave for a niomenl, to turn from my
plan, and venture a remark, whi<;h, I think, has
never been made oi thio subject. If I am wrong,
I shall only have lost some liiies.
The participle is so called, because it partici-
pates of the properties of an adjec-.tive, and of
(hose of a verb; iiemg variable through genders
and numbers, like (he former; and re^jarding
time, motion, and passion, like tlie latter.
When the participle is before its direct object,
nothing is there to limit its rights as a verb; it
helps to tead the sentence, throws its action in
full on the object, and is not at all submitted to
it;theiefore it must tlien remain indec4inable.
Ex. J'ai /tf it voire Icttre; j"ai rrcu vos Icttres.
But, when the direct object precedes the parti-
cii)'e, the former announces the sentence, partly
'eads il, has a primary action on the participle,
which thus loses its rights as a verb, becomes aR
adjective, and follows the gender and number
of the noun that commands it. Ex. La Itttrt
que j'ai re^at; les Icttrcs que j'ai revues.
luiavez envoyees; elle m'en a donne deux rfou-
laines. J'ai lu avec aitentioii !a Uttre que vous
m'avez ecnie. Ma soeur a rrtrouve Us gants
qu'elle avoit egares. Les aj^'aires dont vous
m'avez parli ne reussiront pas.
5. S'etre, in reflected and reciprocal verbs, has
the signification of avoir, and lollows the same
rules. Ex. Mon frerc se seroit excvsi; nia sojur
»e seroit excuste; nies freres f c serojent excusis;
mes soeurs 5e seroienl excuaies — II se seroit attire
la Aainc, &c. lis se seroient altire la haine, &c.
Elles s« seroient attire la haine, &c. — LaAamc
yu* votre frere se seroit attiree; les ennemis que
voire sceur se seroit attiris.
6. f:«e and /a/Zu are invariable — And so are
the participles of verbs used impersonally. Ax.
Cet honinie a Lti: ce que vous eies ; cetie femuoie
a ite, ces fc^mmes ont iti, Sec. — Les grandes cha-
leurs qu'd a fnit, c it caus6 beaucoup de mala-
dies; les grandes chak-urs qu'ii y a eu — thit I
should write : Les grandes depaiscs qu';7 (s»mL-
body) a faiLcs; Les grandes chaleurs que nous
avons eucs—ll, in the two first examples, stands
for no real ayent, and ihus the verb is imper-
sonal ; but il and nous, in the other examples,
aie real agents; and, the verb ceasing thus la
be impersonal, the rule, No. 4, remains in force.
7. In the following sentences, and in any sen-
tence of the like construction, llie participle if
indeclinable, because it has no object to agree
with, the object being governed by an infinitive
which follows, eitlier expressed or understood.
Ex. La moittre que j'aurois voulu, que j'auroia
pu, que j'aurois dii achcter. La Ucon que voua
avez commence d'ltudier. Je lui ai rendu toua
les services que yai pu (lui rendre is understood)
Elle ne s'est pas donne toutes les peincs qu'elle
aiiroit du (se dovner is understood.)
8. Some granunarians have pretended that
the particifile should be indeclinable, when the
subject follows the veib, orwhen the participle
is immediately joined to an adjective, which
agrees with the direct object. Thus, they would
write— Los or dres qu'a donne le roi. Cette re-
pubhque que ses ennemis ont rendu puissante —
Write don7us rmdut, to agree witii ordrrs and
rcpublique. Our best authors now follow, in such
cases, the general rule.
OF THE VERBS ccst and il est; ily a; U fait; il faut.
1. Vest, c'etoit, &c are commonly used— Be-
fore a substantive, either single, or joined to an
adjective — Before an adjective pre(;eded or fol-
lowed by an adverb, or its equivalent— Before
an adverb alone — Before pronouns; ai<d before
a verb in' the infinitive. Ex. C"e?t un niLdeciii;
c'6toit le la-iuais de ma srcur ; c'est une jolie
femmc ; c'est une femmc charmanie — C'e stroit
trop imprudent; c'est fait a merville — C'esi assez ;
c'est demain qu'il doit venir — C'est rile qui me
I'a dit. C'est nous qui soinmes les agresscnrs —
C'est vouloir se predre que d'atiaquer ces gens-la.
2. With tne same verbs, il is commonly used
before an adjective without substantive ; and be-
fore a substantive without article. Ex. II est
prudent de ne pas Uop compter sur I'aveiiir. II
est lems de diner. — II c.-^t midi a ma montre —
r,'e sny; c'est vrai, c'est bon, &c. in sentences
without a regimen, by way of answer, or as a
remark, in a familiar manner of speaking — ce is
then a real abbreviation of ccla.
3. With these same verbs, wnen a substantive
is taken adjirtivelij, we make use of il. rile, »7,-',
ellc.i, according to the number. Ex. 11 est m('-
decin; elle est comtes.ee; its sont soldats; elles
sont duchesses. Elle est fille (wnwa/^r7erf)— C'est
la fillede Mr. Blair : c'est la duches.se de,&c.&.c.
4. When c is followed by a noun or a pro-
noun in Uie tlvird person plural, the verb may be
either singular or plural, hut ce does not change-
However, when a question is asked, the verb
must remain in the singular. Ex. C'est eux, oi
ce sont eux qui ont gagne la victoirc. Ce sera
les Espagnols, or ce seront les Espagnols qui y
|)erdront — Kst-ce eux qui ont gagnii la victoirel
Sera-ce les E.>-pagiio!s qui y perdront?
5. It is, followed by icilh, is rendered intc
French by il ne fst, whh de, or its equivalent
Ex II en est de vous comme de nioi. II en est,
dpr^s la mon, du pauvre comme du tiche
6. Jl y a, il y nroit, &lc. see page xxviii.— This
verb di«s not vary in Frcii'-h as it doea in Eng-
li.sh ; it is always in the third prrsim singular.
Ex. II J' a de bonnes gens dans tons les pays. II
y a trop de poivre dans ce ragout.
7. // est, &c. is sometimes elegantly used in-
stead of i7 y a, &c. Ex II e.<tdes figures d'hommes
et de femmes pour qui la toilette ne pent rien.
8. II fait, il faisoit, fee. This verb is the trasi^
lation of it is, it wax, &c. in English, to denote
the disposition and nature of the air and of the
weather, and of the ways. Ex. 11 fera beau de-
main. II a fait froid aujourd'hui. II fail crolt6 ;
the roads are dirty — It likewise extends to the
nature and disposition of places, with the help
of an adj("ctive. Ex. II fait cher vivre a Lon-
dres. II feroif bon en Italie, si le gouvernemept
y 6toit moins despotioue.
liii
9. II faut, il falloit, &c. see page xxviii.—
This verb is not impersonal in English, and it
id alwaj"^ so in Fiench. Hence t!ie constant
mistake of young beginners, who, instead of
Baying — II faut que j'aille a Londres. II laudra
que vous soyez de retour a quatre heures—
toould eaij; Je faut, nous faut, &c. It is a gross
error.
10. This verb, il faut, &c. when used before
to have, is rendered into French by placing have
in the subjunctive with que ; or, more elegantly,
by inserting a personal pronoun. Ex. 1 must
have money, &c. II faut que j'aie de I'argent;
il faut que vous ayez de I'argent; il faut qu'ils
aient de I" argent, &c. Or, still better: II me
faut de I'argent: il vous faut de I'argent; il leur
faut de I'argent, &c.
11. In such senteaces as the following one,
avoid carefully the passive voice either by mak
ing use of on with the verb devoir, or, in ren-
dering subject m French, the word wliich is object
in English ; or, by any other active turn. Ex. Tlie
laws must be obeyed— On droit obeir aux loia ;
il faut obeir aux lois; obeissons aux lois; noua
devons obeir aux lois.
1-2. Indeed, I had almost said . Always avoid
the passive voice in French. The Frencti lan-
guage bears it with great difficulty, and, wlien
we cannot bring a verb to an active sense, we
give it an active appearance by lending a re-
llective form to the verb. Ex. Le vin se vend
trois chelins la boute ille. II se irouve des gens
que rien ne pent contenter. Cela ne peut se
faire. — The passive sense is so frequently used
in English, that beginners aie long before they
can unfetter their sFyle.
MISCELLANEOUS OBSERVATIONS.
071 prepositions, Conjunctions, Adverbs, <S-c. 6,-c.
*^* We hope the reader has not neglected to future, in French, instead of the present. Ex.
study attentively all the practical sentences from Cluand vous sortirez, vous ferrez bien de prendre
p. XXXV. to xxxLx. We have only room here for un paraplule ; when you o-o out, &c. you icill, <Stc.
some remarks. Q.uand je saurai dessiner, je ferai votre portrait ;
I. Prepositions do not always correspond in whan I know,&:.c. I will,&.c. — The same remark
French and in English. I mean; w«fA cannot al- stands good for any conjunction equivalent to
ways be translated by avec, nor of hyde, &c. &c. when, as aussitot que des que, &c.
Hz. Je suis content de vous ; je pensois a vous — 4. The adverbs, in French, are commonly
I am satisfied «?//,A you; I was thinking o/ you placed after their verbs; and, isi compound tenses,
-Some of them are not even expressed at all. between tlie auxiliary v<nb and tiie participle.
Ex. Nous 6tions seuls— We were by ourselves.
^-Bf careful in translating and composing; con-
fiult your dictionary, and you will soon write
wiiliont Ansilicisms.
Ex. Vous ne vcnez jamais me voir* Je n'ai pas
encore appris ma lecon.
5. When jamais, toujovrs, and souvent meet
another adverb, place tlumi first. Ex. Nous

future nor the conditional. Ex. Si vous me (>. Never p; ace as.>''^2, r/joj/ff A, after its substan-
j/rgtcz, {or, si vous voulcz me prefer) votre livre, tive, as thf^y do in English. £r. Vous n'avez
je vous piftterai le mien. Si votre frere venoit pas assez de patience. J'ai assez de livres, mais
{or, si votre frere vient) avant cinq heures, priez jo n'ai pas assez de terns pour les lire,
le ds m'attendre.— IVe may say; Je ne sais s'il 7. A mains que, de craintc que, de peur que, will
viuiidra. Je ne sais s'il le pourroii— Hut thL'n
ilie supposition aflecls another part of the sen-
tence— Sui>p>s6 que je I'invito, je ne sais s'il
MUAui\,:i..ui nc &:ui s'il viendroit, &.c. On the
cimtraiy, in the first examples, the supposition
falls on the very verbs atTectcd by *-i — Suppo.s6
que vous me preliez, <Stc. je vous prt'terai,&c.
3. fVli.cn, before a present tense, and followed
have ne with the verb, which, in English, is not
negative, and ne pas, when the verb is negative.
Ex. A moins qu'il ne- vicnne; a moius ipi'il 7)fl
vionne2>a5. Decrainte qu'il nevienne; decrainie
qu'ii nc vienne ;>/!.•.•; de peur qu'il ne vieniie; do
peurqu'ilMc vicnne 7>'t.9. Unless he comes utUcss
he should not come, &c.
8. We apply the same rule to the verbs ex-
by a present tense, has the same construction in pressing fear, risk, and hinderanre, followed by
French and English. — Kx. duand il vient, il est que, (with the restriction. No. 9.)— Ex. Je cram's
toi 1 jours pi esse ; when ho. comes, he is, &cc. — But qu'il ne vienne; je crains qu'il he vienne pas;
this same conjunction irhm, before a present in J'appr6hende qu'il ne vienne; J'apprehende qu'il
Enulish, and followed by a future, must have a ne vienne ;>as, &.C.
Uv
D. Attf-r a comparative (of superiority ot infe-
rtarity,) which is expresBcd in Frtiicli by 7;/^^-,
vioins, )iutre, antrimnit, or iJieir equivalent, ne
is jirefi-xed to the setoiul >efb, wh«en tlie lirst verb
is ajpiniativey or inltmigalice wtlh a nrgation.
Ex. Elle est pins riche que vous ne pensiez.
N'est-cl'e pas plus riche que vous ne pensiez.
But, if tile tirsl verb is ntg-utive, or inUrroga-
tive vcithout a negation, ne must not be used.
y.x. Elle n'esi pa^s niuins belle que sa scEur
lYtoit. Esl-elle nioins belle que sa siear I'eioit ?
The same rule is true for verbs expressing
fear, risk, or hindcrance. — Ex. Je crainsqu'il 7ie
vionr.e. Ne craignez- vous pas qu'il weviennel —
Je ne crains pas qu'il vieiine, Craigiiez-voua
qn'il viennd— J'enipecherai qu'il ne vienne.
N'emp^cherez-vous pas qu'il 7te vienne 1— Jo
n'cmpecherai pas qu'il viemie. Enipecherez-
vous qu'il vienne?
J.e is sometimes added to ne; it is a point of
taste which cannot be felt without practice. Ex.
Elle est plus riche que vous ne le pensiez. N'e;»t-
elle pas moins belle que ne i'eioit sa suiur ?
As some very respf;clab!e grammarians give
it as a rule C without exception} that nc is always
used after a comparative, we think it necessary
to refer the readers (if they should entertain any
doubt) to Mr. Salmon's Compute Systan, where
they will find tlie rules supported by the authority
of the French ^Icademij, I'oltatrc, JMarieaux,
Ftnllon, &.C.
10. -When a verb used negatively, is in the in-
finitive, ne and pns come together before that
verb. Ex. J'ainie niieux ne pas ^tre riche que
(le faire des has?e?ses. II est iniposcible de ne pas
d6tebter Ics lyraiis.
11. jV<j, as an answer, is 7? on in French; and
vnt that, as a conjunction, ia rendered by non
qui-, or mm pas qur, with the subjunctive. Ex.
Voudriez-vous 6ire roi, hii dit Cleobule ? Non,
repoiidit-il, j'ainie trop la vertii. J'evite la cour ;
non pas que je haisse la soci6t6, mais je d6teste
l<s flaneurs. Nous ne nous voyons i)lus ; non que
Ts-n;:- -• yor.s enncmis, mais nos huiueurs ne s'ac-
r<i. riant pas.
\l. Point denies more strongly than pas, aiid
Ihilli re(iuire the i>reposition de before their re-
rip'n. Ex. U n'a point d'amis. II n'a pas
d'Hic-nt.
1.1. If an adverb follows the negation, pas must
be used; i)etanse point denies absolutely, and
rnns«qnently cannot be liniiled by an adverb
Ex. Je ne vols pas .souvent votre frere. Vous
Now, I leave my young readers to abler liands,
U^ss to them.
n'avez pas beaucoupd'arbres fruititrs dans votr«
jardin.
14. When wi is repeated in a sentence, in the
sense of cither, or, and nor, join nc to iJie preced-
ing veib in Flench. Ex. Je ne suis ni Demo-
crate, ni Aristocrate ; jc suis honneie honuue. Je
ne me plaLs ni a chasser, ni a jouer, ni a buiro;
j'aime a converscr.
15. After tlie verbs pouvoir, tavoir, oscr, an(}
cesser, ne is commonly used without piLs.— Exi
li n'ose paroitre en public. Nous ne pouvoiu
r6sister a ia calomnie. Je ne sais ce qu'il veut
dire. Ce pauvre honmie ne cesse de se rendre
ridicule.
16. Neither /)fl5 nor point can appear in a sen-
tence with ja;naja,pti/5, WI, aucun, nul, personnc,
qui que ce soil, rien, quoi (^ue ce toil, qvelconqiu,
when tJiry are used as negative terms. Ex. II
ne faut jarnais se fior auji mcchans. Nous ne
voyons plus votre soeur. lis n'ont ni argent, ni
amis. Je n'ai hi aucun des livrcs que vous
m'avez envoy^s. ,^Vous n'avez nulle exactitude.
Personne ne le saiL Je ne ledis a personne. Je
viens dii pare; je n'y ai vu (|ui(iuo ce soit de
ma connoissance. C'est un homme qui n'aime
rien, qui ne sti soucie de rien. Je nc lui ai ja-
mais rien dit. lis ne peuvenl rfussir a qitoi que
ces<jii.
17. Try to avoid the errors often committed ia
tlie use of the following verbs.
Jhner; to lead from the place where one is ; to
guide, i-.x. Menez eel enfant a I'ecolo. Mencz
mon clieval a I'tcurie.
j]iiuncr; to bring to the place wliere one is.
Ex. Amcnez-moi cet enlant. Vous amen era-t-il
votre cheval ?
Ennnener; to carry away. Ex. II cmmena
deux regimens avec lui.
Remtnir; to carry back. Ex. Remeuez cet en-
fant a son pere.
These four verbs generally suppose motion in
the objects ; they are led and not borne.
Porter; to carry from the place where one ia.
Ex. Portez ces livres dans ma cliambre.
J}pportcr; to bring towards llie place where
one is. Ex. Apportez-moi du fruit.
Eviporter; to carry away. Ex. Emportcz cette
table.
Reporter; to carrj- back. Ex. Reporlez ces
livres dans ma chauibre.
These four verbs generally suppose that the ob-
jects are unable to move of themselves ; they axe
borne, and not led.
