Nationalities are not capitalized as often in French as they are in English. If you are referring to a person, as in an Arab person or a Chinese person, the French equivalent is un Arabe or un Chinois. However, if you are referring to the Arabic language or Chinese language, the French would not capitalize: l'arabe; le chinois. If the nationality is used as an adjective, it is normally left uncapitalized; un livre chinois, un tapis arabe.+?
G: Perfect Tenses
You will be learning several new perfect tenses in this level. Review the grammar behind them. This time, make sure you know all the rules.
The perfect tenses are also called the compound or composed tenses.
The perfect tenses are all composed of a conjugated auxillary verb and a fixed past participle.
Auxillary Verb Formation
The auxillary verb is always either avoir or être.
The tense of the verb depends upon the tense that avoir or être is conjugated in.
When the auxillary verb is conjugated in the passé composé, for example, the auxillary verb is conjugated in the present indicative.
J'ai fini. - I have finished.
Past Participle Formation
