- - Hello ! So, today we are going to see the expression of cause in French! - And more precisely the differences between the words: CAR, PARCE QUE, PUISQUE.
- - And at the end of the video, we'll do a little quiz to see if you understood correctly! - But before we start, do you like to learn french?
- If you want to progress, it's very easy! Subscribe to our channel! - That's it, and like that, you will learn while having fun!
- - That's our goal, Pierre. - Of course ! To learn well, you have to enjoy yourself, have fun.
- Come on, let's begin! - Well then Pierre, explain to us what the difference is
- exactly between CAR, PARCE QUE, PUISQUE? - Well then, these three introduce the cause in French.
- I can say for example: He progresses in French BECAUSE he follows the "French with Pierre" method.
- I can also say: He progresses in French BECAUSE he follows the "French with Pierre" method.
- And I can say also: He progresses in French SINCE he follows the "French with Pierre" method.
- - But then there is no difference? - Yes, if ... Some subtleties! And that's what we'll see right away.
- - Well, let's start with the word: PARCE QUE. - Okay. So already, PARCE QUE, PUISQUE or CAR, the three are all conjunctions.
- - Okay ? - Yes. - And they are all followed by the indicative, okay?
- - So, PARCE QUE, let's say that it is the most neutral. It expresses the cause, the reason, and it answers the question: Why?
- - Yes, we only have to see an example. - Okay. So for example, I'm going to ask: Why is he sad?
- He is sad because she left him. - Right. But we can also simply answer "Because she left him".
- And then in this case, PARCE QUE is going to be at the beginning of the sentence. But it's pretty rare! Normally, it's not [used[ too much at the beginning of the sentence.
- But in this case, it will be at the beginning of the sentence. - Yes, we will rather say "I do not go out because it's raining"
- instead of saying "Because it's raining, I'm not going out" - Yes, anyway "Because it's raining I do not go out ", that's very strange!
- And by the way, do not forget the elision, the little apostrophe because here, it starts with a vowel. So, we say PARCE QU'IL, apostrophe!
- And [it's] very interesting, we can also use it with the negation "It's not". For example: It's not BECAUSE you speak Chinese
- that you will immediately find a job in China. - Oh yes, yes!
- And one last thing is that you should not confuse PARCE QUE in two words with PAR CE QUE in three words.
- And in fact, we can distinguish them because PAR CE QUE in three words, it does not answer the question: Why?
- And we can replace it by BY THE THINGS THAT. - Exactly.
- So let's see an example, it will be easier. So I can say for example: I believe, BY WHAT I read in the newspapers,
- that the president will make reforms. - Yes. - And so I can replace it also by: I believe, BY THE THINGS THAT I'm reading
- in the newspapers, that the president will make reforms. - That's it, it does not introduce a cause.
- - Yes but hey, honestly, I know that you often ask this question but it is extremely rare in French to see PAR CE QUE in three words,
- it is used very little. - Now, we will see the word PUISQUE
- Yes, then PUISQUE will also introduce the cause, but be careful, a known cause or obvious to all, and that's the big difference.
- - But unlike PARCE QUE, PUISQUE is very often or more generally at the beginning of the sentence.
- - Yes, so let's see an example: SINCE the weather is nice, we will stay until eight o'clock.
- - That's it, so here everyone knows that the weather is nice. - Yes, if I use PUISQUE, that supposes that everyone knows that the weather is nice.
- And be careful! There too, do not forget the elision! As IL begins with a vowel, we will say: PUISQU'IL fait beau.
- - We'll see another example. For example : SINCE the work is finished,
- we will be able to live in our new house. - Exactly! And so here, if we use PUISQUE it means that everyone
- is aware that the work is finished. And one last thing, we use it also in the exclamation. For example :
- But SINCE I am telling you! - Yes it's to insist. I'm telling you! I am right!
- - Yes, to say "But I'm right, I'm telling you!" - And finally we'll see the word CAR.
- - Well then CAR, it's a conjunction followed by the indicative, that, we already said, and it will obviously introduce the cause.
- So in the majority of cases, it is synonymous with PARCE QUE. For example: He leaves BECAUSE you do not want to see him.
- Or so: He leaves BECAUSE you do not want to see him. - Okay. - We can say one or the other.
- - But we use it more in writing than in oral, right? I have a feeling. - We use it more in writing, it's true, and maybe it's a little bit more formal.
- But sometimes it's not equivalent to PARCE QUE! - Really? For example ?
- - So for example, I can say: John is rich, BECAUSE he leaves all the time on vacation all over the world.
- And you see, there, I can replace it with: THE PROOF ! He goes on vacation all the time all over the world!
- Or: SEEING THAT he goes on vacation all over the world, or: INDEED, he leaves on vacation all over the world.
- - It's a little like a justification, as if you were explaining why something,
- why you are saying something. - You explain a posteriori a justification, that's it.
- And finally, CAR, unlike PARCE QUE, is always preceded by a comma. - Yes, and besides, we almost never find it at the beginning of the sentence.
- By the way, CAR does not answer the question: Why? When they ask you "Why something? ", you answer" Because ... ".
- - Yes, it's true. Well, that's right, theoretically, it's quite true, but maybe you'll hear it, well, maybe [you'll] hear it,
- but normally, it should not happen. - And finally, we will summarize everything in a very, very useful summary table
- that Pierre made you with lots of love ! Right, Pierre? - Of course ! So there you are, here you go, here is the table that should appear.
- And you will find it in the article of the blog that accompanies this video, Of course I am leaving you the link under the video.
- So here you go, press pause to watch it well. - Here ! But in fact Pierre, as an expression of the cause,
- there are many other words: Thanks to, because of ...
- - Absolutely, absolutely. But hey, we're not going to cover everything here, if you want us to cover this subject or other difficulties you have,
- especially, leave them for us in the comments. - Write us, we love, we read everything even if we can not answer everything.
- - And depending on your difficulties, if you want us to make a video on one subject or another, well we will take it into account
- so leave it for us in the comments. - And attention! It's time for the quiz!
- - So obviously, what is the exercise? Well you have to complete the sentences with PARCE QUE, CAR or PUISQUE.
- - We'll see if you have listened well. - So, here it is on the screen. So I will read the sentences. The first one:
- [...] you do not want to go to the party, we will go without you. - The second: Why are you so happy?
- - [...] I started to learn French. And the third: He prefers to play the guitar, [...] it's easier than the piano.
- - So have you done it? We leave you the correction in the blog with the card, the podcast, the transcript, all that!
- - An exercise, I am leaving you the link under the video, it will appear on the video, and do not forget that you have two free classes,
- a beginner's course and a course for intermediate level, advanced. All links are on the video or under the video.
- - And we will see each other next Sunday, bye! - And subscribe!
