Le Participe Présent Using the Present Participle in French!

So, what’s the Present Participle? The Present Participle is a verb form which ends in –ant and is the equivalent of some uses of –ing in English, but in much more limited contexts, such as the ones that follow. It has only one conjugation because it can never be used as the main verb of a sentence: Here are some examples: speaking >> parlantgoing>>allant walking >> marchantprendre>prenant doing/making >>faisantbeing > étant

So, what’s the Present Participle? It is used to show an action that takes place at the same time as another action by the same person. In other words, a simultaneous action: eg. I saw my friend when I entered the room. = As I was entering the room, I saw my friend. e.g. Lorsque j’entrais dans la salle, j’ai vu mon ami. = Entrant dans la salle, j’ai vu mon ami. Careful not to confuse who is doing the action: e.g. J’ai vu mon ami entrant dans la salle. = The friend was entering the room when you saw him, not you.

So, what’s the Present Participle? To avoid this possible confusion, it is best to use “en” in front of the present participle. In this way, it is clear who is the subject of both actions because “en” implies “while” or “as”: eg. En entrant dans la salle, j’ai vu mon ami. = J’ai vu mon ami en entrant dans la salle. eg. Il est tombé pendant qu’il montait l`escalier. = Il est tombé en montant l’escalier. = En montant l’escalier il est tombé.

So, what’s the Present Participle? To avoid this possible confusion, it is best to use “en” in front of the present participle. In this way, it is clear who is the subject of both actions because “en” implies “while” or “as”: eg. En entrant dans la salle, j’ai vu mon ami. = J’ai vu mon ami en entrant dans la salle. eg. Il est tombé pendant qu’il montait l`escalier. = Il est tombé en montant l’escalier. = En montant l’escalier il est tombé.

So, what’s the Present Participle? It may also be used with “en” to express how to accomplish or succeed at something, or “by doing” something: eg. You can get a good job if you do an internship. = You can get a good job by doing an internship. eg. Tu peux trouver un bon emploi si tu fais un stage. = Tu peux trouver un bon emploi en faisant un stage. eg. Nous ferons du progrès en français en parlant en classe tous les jours.

So, what’s the Present Participle? The Present Participle can also be used to explain the reason for something or give a resulting consequence. In this case no “en” is used: eg. Puisque nous venons de Chicago, nous sommes habitués au froid. =Venant de Chicago, nous sommes habitués au froid. (raison) eg. Il y a eu une explosion qui a forcé tous les élèves de sortir de l’immeuble. = Il y a eu une explosion, forçant tous les élèves de sortir de l’immeuble. (résultat)

So, what’s the Present Participle? The Present Participle is used to create a verb clause that describes something or someone. In this case it goes right after the noun it is describing: eg. Les élèves qui veulent aller en France doivent remplir un formulaire. = Les élèves voulant aller en France doivent remplir... eg. La dame qui porte le chapeau rouge est ma grand- mère. = La dame portant le chapeau rouge est ma grand-mère.

So, what’s the Present Participle? Finally, the Present Participle is often seen as a verb turned into an adjective. It comes right after the noun it modifies and is the only use in which it actually agrees with the noun. >Mon petit frère charme tout le monde. = J’ai un petit frere tres charmant. >Les étoiles brillent dans le ciel ce soir. = Les étoiles brillantes rappelait le Petit Prince au pilote. >Les films français m’intéressent beaucoup. = Les films sont très intéressants.

So, how do I do that in French?? In French, replace the -ons ending of the nous form of the present with -ant. travaillonstravaillant finissonsfinissant attendonsattendant allonsallant faisonsfaisant voyonsvoyant

Are there any irregulars? Bien sûr! - This IS French, after all!! The irregular Present Participles are: êtreétant avoirayant savoirsachant

And how do I USE it in French? As a verb, to show simultaneous action=but remember that it does not have its own subject. >Ils sont sortis du cinéma pleurant. >Madame est entré dans la salle parlant français. With the preposition “en”. En translates as while, as, or by : En tournant le coin, tu verras l’église. Il a eu de bonnes notes en étudiant tous les jours.

And how do I USE it in French? To state reasons or resulting actions: >Étant à un lycée comme Payton, nous avons beaucoup d`opportunités. >L`élève réfusait de parler français, frustrant la prof énormément! To describe someone or something: >Je voudrais rencontrer un ami habitant en France. >Nous avons vu une pièce impressionante!

When NOT to use it! DON’T use it to try to form the present or imparfait tenses. I am working = je travaille. I was working = je travaillais. DON’T use it as the subject of a verb: Speaking French is important. = Parler francais est important. DON’T use it after helping verbs: I like listening to classical music. = J’aime écouter la musique classique.

When NOT to use it! DON’T use it with any preposition other than “en”. Use the INFINITIVE instead. Il est parti, sous la pluie, sans me parler, sans me regarder. DON’T use it after verbs of perception - again, use the INFINITIVE. J’entends jouer les enfants. I hear the children playing. Verbes of perception: apercevoir (to glimpse), écouter, entendre, regarder, sentir (to feel; to smell), voir

Form the Present Participle... parler choisir entendre aller faire lire écrire devoir parlant choisissant entendant allant faisant lisant écrivant devant ( yep, cd be confusing)

Using the Present Participle En me promenant dans le Quartier Latin, j’ai trouvé les arènes de Lutèce.

Using the present Participle En faisant du parapente, on voit tant de choses.
