— J'attends que tu arrives.
Is "arrives" in the subjunctive or indicative?
When French is our mother tongue, to find out, we have two very simple solutions: change the verb to a verb that has a different conjugation in the present indicative and subjunctive (J'attends que tu partes) or change the subject to « nous » or « vous » (J'attends que vous arriviez). We're in the presence of a subjunctive.
With this challenge, I'm offering you the chance to learn and develop the habit.
Truly learning the essential conjugations by heart.
Then, developing a solid foundation of reflexes.
This challenge is a practical application in 6 steps. You're going to learn conjugations and write several texts using the subjunctive.
This challenge also has a history linked to the podcast. At the beginning of 2021, for three months, from January to March, with the help of a brilliant international team of hunters, we tracked down and flushed out the subjunctives present in the texts of One Thing In A French Day. A difficult quest, filled with doubts, second thoughts and finally interesting discoveries.
It's from this quest that the Subjunctive Challenge was built.
Who is it for?
Well, for everyone who wants to use their French knowledge! Who wants to challenge themselves, who likes writing, who wants to take action.
It's also for those who wish to reach a new level, for example moving from B2 to C1.
This isn't a grammar course, nor a series of exercises, these are practical applications.
You can also simply read the challenge, I'm certain you'll retain things.
Is it important to know how to use the subjunctive?
But yes! In fact, we use it daily. In very simple sentences such as: « J'attends que tu arrives ».
