Key learning points
- The sound [ai] sounds like 'vrai'.
- Modal verbs state necessity or possibility and are commonly followed by a second verb as an infinitive.
- The verb vouloir can be used in the conditional to express a wish. It can be followed by a noun or an infinitive.
- The 1st, 2nd, 3rd person forms of vouloir in the conditional all sound the same: je voudrais, tu voudrais, il voudrait.
Keywords
Modal verb - verb of necessity or possibility used with a 2nd verb in infinitive e.g. must, can, want
Conditional tense - describes what could or would happen under certain conditions
Stem - part of the verb that appears in all forms
Common misconception
When saying what you would like to do, a French word for 'would' is needed before the verb 'aimer' to like.
In French, to say what you would like to do, use the conditional stem of the verb vouloir together with the appropriate ending - -ais for 'je' and 'tu', -ait for 'il' and 'elle'.
