Alors "des" peut être utilisé pour tous les deux?

Mais je pense 'some' était 'en' - je voudrais en frites?

*j'en voudrais frites? C'est travaille?

'en' is a pronoun which replaces 'de..' :smile:

So for example:
Tu voudrais des frites? Oui, j'en voudrais. Would you like some chips? Yes, I would like some.
Il a des frères et soeurs? Oui, il en a deux. Does he have (any) siblings? Yes, he has two (of them).

And you would say, 'ça marche?' for 'does that work?'

Si quelqu'un me corrige, je serai très gêné lol.

C'est bon. :biggrin:

Ça marche ? = Does it work? / Is it ok for you?
Ça marche. = It works fine.
Ça marche ! = Hell yeah, let's do that!

Quelle est la différence entre les mots 'Si' et 'Se'? Je crois que les deux sont utilisés pour dire 'If'?

No, se is for him/her/our/them-self.

I've been living in France for four months and I am progressing slower than I was before I moved here but I am always so damn tired the last thing I want to do is revise verb tables when I get home. However, I am determined to get a hang of the language and this thread is giving me a new lease of life.

Ya I know that 'se' is a pronoun, but I seem to remember seeing 'se' written in sentences where it could only mean 'if' online :s

Il ne faut pas tout à fait apprendre les tables de verbes. It may be more beneficial to just pick conjugations up in conversation. Learn the most common verbs only. Don't exhaust yourself, cos if you make a mistake which undoubtedly you will, a nice Frenchie t'aidera !

Peindre au passé simple :
je peignis
tu peignis
il peignit
nous peignîmes
vous peignîtes
ils peignirent

Conquérir au présent de l'indicatif :
je conquiers
tu conquiers
il conquiert
nous conquérons
vous conquérez
ils conquièrent

The French don't use it (in fact they can't).

Je m'en doute bien !!! I heard that a lot of Frenchies also don't use the subjunctive properly?

That's nothing in comparison to how they speak in England.
