FROM MORNING TO EVENING / DU MATIN AU SOIR


Hello everyone! Welcome in another short lesson! Today we will see how to express the different part of a day: Morning, Afternoon and Evening. Let's get started!


Morning = Matin or Matinée
Afternoon = Après-midi 
Evening = Soir or Soirée
Night = Nuit 


Let's see some quick examples:

1) Ce matin j'ai un cours d'Espagnol. / This morning I have a Spanish class. 

2) Appelle-moi plus tard dans la matinée. / Call me later in the morning.

3) Cet après-midi il fait très chaud ! / This afternoon the weather is very hot! 

4) Il y a un spectacle ce soir au théâtre ! / There is a show tonight at the theatre!

5) Je l'ai attendu toute la soirée mais il n'est pas venu. / I have waited all evening but he didn't come.

6) Cette nuit, j'ai mal dormi / Last night, I slept bad. 



For the reminder, please remember:

(Le) or (Un) or (Ce) Matin - masculine   
(La) or (Une) Matinée - feminine
Both mean "morning", but we have two ways of expressing it. A masculine and a feminine way, depending on the context.

(Un) or (Cet) or (L') Après-midi - masculine 
We say "un après-midi" and not "une après-midi", but most of people make the mistake, included French people so don't worry too much about it.

(Un) or (Le) or (Ce) Soir - masculine
(Une) or (La) or (Cette) Soirée - feminine 

(Une) or (La) or (Cette) Nuit - feminine

BY, THROUGH / PAR

Hello ! In this new article, let's talk about the French preposition " par " (by). Let's get started! :) Usually, " par " is used to mark the passage, the move, accross something, the high, the position (of a object or a building or a boat), the part of something we grab (knife, fork). It can also describes the cause, the way, the order, the distribution, to affirm, and many more!  Let's just see some examples to get familiar with this preposition as it's better to see it in a complete sentence than all alone in a huge text.  Examples:  Used to mark the movement and the passage Il est passé par Lyon . / He went through Lyon . Voyager par mer , par terre . / To travel by sea , by land . Aller par le monde . / Go through the world . Jeter quelque chose par la fenêtre . / Throw something out the window . Passer par de rudes épreuves . / Going through hard times . Cette idée lui est passé par l'

AND, OR / ET, OU

Hello everyone! Welcome back for a new article about French! In today's article, we will talk about two words that everyone use everyday and their utilisation in French.  Let's start!  ET / AND "Et" is a  coordinating conjunction . It is used to link two words or groups of words of the same function. "Et" express an addition in a sentence . OU / OR   "Ou" is also a coordinating conjunction . It is used to link two words or groups of words of the same function. "Ou" express the choice, in a sentence .  The coordination allows not to repeat some terms again. It is used to add something in a sentence or avoiding to say the same things again in one sentence. And with "ou", of course, we can also express a choice in a sentence in the easiest way. Let's see some examples: 1) Il y a du pain et du beurre. / There is some bread and butter.  2) Aujourd'hui j'ai vu mes amis. Et
