Product Information

Personne n'y avait pensé! ( Nobody had thought of that!) is a France 3 game show adapted from the BBC's Pointless. Presented by Cyril Féraud, it ran for five seasons in 2011, 2015–16 and 2018–21. For example, “J’aurais eu” translates to “I would have had”. In the negation, “Je n’aurais pas eu” translates to “I wouldn’t have had”. Avoir in past conditional

The French plus-que-parfait (pluperfect) is used to express anteriority with one past event occurring before another one. The form " avait (imparfait) is used to emphasize the fact that an action lasted a while, or simply to point out which of two actions lasted longer.Avoir is an irregular verb. This is because while the infinitive (to form) ends in -ir, the verb’s endings in the present tense do not follow the same pattern as regular verb in the -ir group, such as finir.

Coordinate term: être J ’ai parlé. ― I have spoken, I spoke. Qu’est-ce que vous m ’avez fait ? ― What have you done to me? The "a eu" ( passé composé) pin points an action to a specific date or emphasize the fact that the action was sudden and short-lived. Avoir is often used with nouns like chaud ( “ heat ” ), faim ( “ hunger ” ), soif ( “ thirst ” ), peur ( “ fear ” ), etc. to express a personal condition or feeling, as shown in examples above. While constructions like être affamé ( “ to be starving/starved ” ) and être assoiffé ( “ to be thirsty ” ) exist, they are almost always used figuratively. It is always more natural to use avoir rather than être in the examples listed above, and other similar cases. In some cases, both verbs can be used, but with vastly different meanings: transitive ) to have ( a condition ) J’ ai faim. ― I'm hungry. (literally, “ I have hunger.”) J’ ai soif. ― I'm thirsty. (literally, “ I have thirst.”) J’ ai froid. ― I'm cold. (literally, “ I have cold.”) J’ ai chaud. ― I'm hot, I feel hot. (literally, “ I have hot.”) J ’ai la chiasse. ― I have the shits. J ’ai le rhume. ― I have a cold. J ’ai le SIDA. ― I have AIDS. J ’ai de la fièvre. ― I've got a fever. For example, “Je souhaite que tu aies trois enfants” (I want you to have three kids). In this sentence, the conjugated verb “aies” is in the subjunctive form. Avoir in present subjunctiveThe passé composé (past indefinite or compound past) is a French past tense used to describe past events which occurred at specific times. It is referred to as a “compound tense” because it combines the present tense of avoir with a past participle. For example, “Je vais avoir une bonne note” means “I’m going to get a good grade”. This sentence is being expressed with a high degree of certainty. Avoir in futur proche The futur proche (near future tense) is formed with a conjugated form of aller (to go) followed by avoir in the infinitive (to) form. The futur antérieur refers to the past future tense. These are events that will have occurred in the future. For example, “I will have already eaten before you get home”. avoir oblique singular, m ( oblique plural avoirs, nominative singular avoirs, nominative plural avoir)
