- 1Un fauteuil is the physical chair that one sits on. One would normally use "une place" whenever "a seat" is used in English.
- Prenez place ! - Take a seat! (very common expression. No article before place, you should not say Prenez la place)
-enir verbs are irregularly conjugated (they are not treated as regular -ir verbs).
The most common -enir verb is venir, meaning to come.
When venir is used with the preposition de, it means to come from or to be from:
Ces pommes viennent de l'Espagne. (These apples come from Spain.)
When venir de is used with a verb, it states that you have recently accomplished an action.
Je viens de me réveiller. (I have just got up.)
In the present indicative, venir (and all other -enir verbs) is conjugated as follows:
| venir /vǝ.niʁ/ (vuh-neer) |
to come |
|---|---|
| je viens /vjɛ̃/ (vyuha(n)) | I come |
| tu viens /vjɛ̃/ (vyuha(n)) | you come |
| il vient /vjɛ̃/ (vyuha(n)) | he comes |
| nous venons /vǝ.nɔ̃/ (vuh-noh(n)) | we come |
