French Compound Tenses and Moods
Conjugations for the different French verb tenses and moods can be divided into two categories: simple and compound. Simple tenses and moods have only one part (e.g., je vais) whereas compound tenses and moods have two (je suis allà ©). This lesson will explain everything you need to know about the more complicated compound conjugations.But first, a chart: the simple tense or mood on the left is used to conjugate the auxiliary verb for the compound tense or mood on the right, as demonstrated with the verb avoir (to have). Simple Compound Present tu as (you have) Pass compos tu as eu (you have had) Imperfect tu avais (you were having) Pluperfect tu avais eu (you had had) Pass simple tu eus (you had) Past anterior tu eus eu (you had had) Future tu auras (you will have) Future perfect tu auras eu (you will have had) Conditional tu aurais (you would have) Conditional perfect tu aurais eu (you would have had) Subjunctive tu aies (you have) Past subjunctive tu aies eu (you had) Imperfect subjunctive tu eusses (you were having) Pluperfect subjunctive tu eusses eu (you had had) Imperative (tu) aie ([you] have) Past imperative (tu) aie eu ([you] have had) Present participle ayant (having) Perfect participle ayant eu (having had) Infinitive avoir (to have) Past infinitive avoir eu (to have had) Please note that I have provided (English translations) to give you an idea about the differences in meaning, but there may be other possibilities.

See otherà French verbsà conjugated into all the tenses and moods: Simple Compound aller aller avoir avoir tre tre prendre prendre There are four things you need to know about French compound tenses and moods in order to conjugate and use them correctly. 1. Two-part conjugations Compound tenses/moods are always made up of two parts: the conjugatedà auxiliary verbà (eitherà avoirà orà à ªtre) and theà past participle. French verbs are classified by their auxiliary verb, and use it for all compound moods/tenses. That is,à avoirà verbs useà avoirà in all of the compound tenses/moods, andà à ªtreà verbs useà à ªtreà in all the compound tenses/moods.In the chart on page 1, the tense/mood in the first column is the conjugation used for the auxiliary verb of the compound tense/mood listed in the second column.For example,à allerà is anà à ªtreà verb. So the present tense ofà à ªtre,à Il est, is the conjugation used for the passà © composà © ofà aller:à Il est allà ©Ã (He went).Mangerà is anà avoirà verb. The future ofà avoir,à Nous aurons, is the conjugation for the future perfect,à Nous aurons mangà ©Ã (We will have eaten).à 2. Agreement There are two different types of agreement with compound tenses and moods, depending on whether youre dealing withà à ªtreà verbs orà avoirà verbs.ÃÅ tre verbs:à In all compound tenses/moods, the past participle ofà à ªtreà verbsà has to agree with the subject of the sentence in gender and number.à à à Il est allà ©.à à à He went.à à à Elle à ©tait allà ©e.à à à She had gone. à à à Ils seront allà ©s.à à à They will have gone.à à à ...quelles soient allà ©es.à à à ...that they went.Avoir verbs:à The past participle ofà avoirà verbs that areà preceded by aà direct objectà must agree with the direct object*à à à Les livres que tu as commandà ©s sont ici.à à à The books that you ordered are here.à à à La pomme ? Je laurai mangà ©e.à à à The apple? I will have eaten it. à à à Mes sÃ
âurs... vous les aviez vues ?à à à My sisters... had you seen them?*Except forà ve rbs of perceptionà and theà causative.When theà direct object followsà theà avoirà verb, there is no agreement.à à à As-tu commandà © des livresà ?à à à Did you order some books?à à à Jaurai mangà © la pomme.à à à I will have eaten the apple. à à à Aviez-vous vu mes sÃ
âurs ?à à à Had you seen my sisters?There isà no agreement withà indirect objects.à à à Je leur ai parlà ©.à à à I talked to them.à à à Il nous a tà ©là ©phonà ©.à à à He called us.Learn more about agreementà 3. Word order: Pronouns Object, reflexive, and adverbial pronounsà always precede the auxiliary verb in compound tenses/moods: à à à Je te lai donnà ©.à à à I gave it to you.à à à Il lavait fait.à à à He had done it. à à à Nous y serons allà ©s.à à à We will have gone there.à 4. Word order: Negation Negative structuresà almost always surround the auxiliary verb** à à à Je nai pas à ©tudià ©.à à à I didnt study.à à à Nous naurions jamais su.à à à We would have never known.**Exceptions:à à à a)à In theà past infinitive, both parts of the negation precede the auxiliary verb:à à à à à à à Jespà ¨re ne pas avoir perdu.à à à à à à I hope I didnt lose.à à à b)à Personne,à aucun, andà nulle partà follow the past participle:à à à à à à Je nai vu personne.à à à à à à I didnt see anyone.à à à à à à Je ne lai trouvà © nulle part.à à à à à à I couldnt find it anywhere.à 34. Word order with pronouns and negation When the sentence includes a pronoun and negation, the pronoun is placed in front of the auxiliary verb, and then the negative structure surrounds that pair:Subject à neà pronoun(s) auxiliary verb negative word past participle.à à à Nous ny serions jamais allà ©s.à à à We would never have gone there.à à à Je ne te lai pas donnà ©.à à à I didnt give it to you.For detailed information about the conjugations and uses of the individual compound tenses/moods, follow the links in the summary table on page 1. Other two-verb constructions In addition to compound conjugations (auxiliary verb past participle), French has other two-verb forms, what I call dual-verb constructions. These consist of a semi-auxiliary verb plus an infinitive, and the rules regarding agreement and word order are somewhat different -à learn more.

The The Song Of Roland - 1289 Words
The lives of knights depicted in the ââ¬Å"The Song of Rolandâ⬠are a demonstration of the fierce warriorship, aggressiveness, and deep faith of French Knights. A code of chivalry or gallantry existed among these men. At the top of this code of conduct were the highly regarded virtues of honor, faithfulness, courage, compassion, truth, and obedience. Noble knights prized the wares of their trade, such as fine warhorses, armory, battle skills, and fine regalia. In this epic poem, Roland and the other Knights show great obedience to their liege, King Charles. Roland volunteers for tough missions like leading the rear guard as the army made its way thru the Pyrenees Mountains. He promised the King that France would not lose anyâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Knights were dedicated to their God and Church. These brave men truly believed that even though the battle was not always in their favor, God is the only one who could overcome the odds. Victories are Godââ¬â¢s way o f showing he approves of the knights mission. All things happen because God knows it will happen. Roland follows his lord and his God with complete faithfulness. ââ¬Å"His whole sense of what a Christian knight must do is nearest to what pleases God, for it comes from God.â⬠Many of the poems passages tell of the knightsââ¬â¢ individual courage and their battle prowess. It seemed as though God was willing each of the French blows to be lethal and the Pagans blows to miss their mark. The warriors fought bravely no matter what the odds. They were not afraid to lead or make tactical decisions. They valued good judgment. At one point, Oliver questions whether Roland made a good decision not to call the army. At the end of the battle, as Roland lay dying, he also questioned his decision not to blow the Oliphant to alert King Charlesââ¬â¢ Army. The poem notes that the idea of service to all is the same as service to the King. In the trial of Ganelon, they first see France as their complete realm of unity. They value their homes, families, and country. Ganelonââ¬â¢s treason was a threat to their France. The pagans do not identify that closely as a country. Good knights show compassion for their comrades and enemies
The United States Of America - 1756 Words
Kevin Solomon The United States of America is objectively one of the greatest countries in the world. The unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are part of the first sentence in the preamble of one of the greatest documents contrived in the nationââ¬â¢s short history: the Declaration of Independence (1. archives.gov). Also in that sentence is the decree that it is self-evident all men are created equal (1). While it was scribed with good intentions, it has become self-evident that all people are not created equal in the minds of many. The topics of race, gender, religion, and ethnicity spark much conflict in the realm of social inequality, but one topic that is not talked about as often as the others is that of economic inequality. Due to millions of Americans starting their adult lives saddled with debt, the prominent wealth gap already established, and many institutions being set up to prey on the money of the masses, it is quite clear that econ omic inequality is not going to decline anytime soon. Many young adults graduate high school wanting to further their education in college, must most are not in a financial position to be able to pay for it by their selves. In order to go to a university, they must take out a student loan. Student loans are burdened on to these youths at such a high rate that the total about due in student debt is greater than one trillion dollars (2. pbs.org).

Contributory Negligence Assumption of Risk and Duties
Question: Discuss about the Contributory Negligence for Assumption of Risk and Duties. Answer: Introduction The present case is specifically based on the claim for negligence as Tamara was going every day to Aldi supermarket to buy her favorite chocolate which she was trying to get from last few days as whenever she went all of them were sold out. But on one day when it was heavily raining she sawat the far end one last chocolate left. As a result of which she began to run towards the chocolate, slipped on a puddle of melted ice cream and broke her back. She spenta few months in hospital with overallcosts alone in addition of $700,000. So, now by using IRAC method the issue which has arouses out of this situation would be clarified and established more clearly. As Tamara made a claim againstAldi negligence for theinjuries she suffered. Whether Tamara could claim damages to be paid for her losses against Aldi Supermarkets for negligence or not? Negligence under the law of tort generally could be stated as the failure to take reasonable care either by way of an act or omission. Such an act of carelessness could take place when: An individual do not take reasonable amount of care which he should have taken which a prudent individual might take under certain situations or Have done something which a prudent individual would n9ot have done under such situations (Laws,2017). As per the ruling of Blyth v Birmingham Waterworks Co. (1856) negligence has been defined as the error to do something which a sensible individual who wasdirected upon those concerns which usuallycontrol the behavior of human affairs. Such individuals would also do, or was doing something which a reasonableperson would not do (Legal Services Commission of South Australia, 2016). In Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562 the modern negligence law was renowned. But it could also be affirmed that in order to make a successful claim of carelessness against the defendant, the burden of proof was applied on the applicant. As the applicant must show that: The respondent owed a duty to take reasonable care towards the applicant; Such duty which the respondent owed towards the applicant was violated; Due to the contravention of such duty the applicant suffered a harm (Bits of Law, 2013); and There was no remoteness of such injury which was caused to the applicant (Laws, 2017). Even if a claim of negligence which was made by the applicant was proved by him against the respondent by fulfilling all the essentials which were required in an act for negligence (Find Law, 2017). Then also the respondent if he knows that he has taken due care towards the protection of applicant the he could take defense against the assertion of negligence (The Law Handbook 2016, 2015). There have been two major defenses which more frequently were utilized in a claim for negligence but one of such defense was contributory negligence (Australian Government, 2017). When the individual who has suffered injury were themselves found to have contributed to such cause of their injury then such an act could be defined as contributory negligence. In Davies v Swan Motor Co [1949] 2 KB 291it was concluded thatwhile taking into consideration the question of negligence on the part of both the parties, it was not essential to prove that the act of carelessnesshave constituted a contravention of duty towards the respondent. It wasadequate enough to show lack of sensible care taken by the applicant for his own protection." For instance, if an individual slips or fall down in a store due to which he suffers an injury then he could bring a case against such store. But if such injury was caused due to her fault as being a rational individual he could have taken immense care of his own protection which he lacked so he could not upheld the store accountable for negligence. In the matter of Raad v KTP Holdings Pty Ltd as Trustee for VM KTP Nguyen Family Trust [2016] NSW 2016 it was clearly affirmed by the judges that the pace of movement of the claimant on the pathway have been a contributing factor which has resulted in his or her fall. As a result, the claim for contributory negligence was reduced to 10% of the total claim (Lexology, 2016). In another matter of Strong v Woolworths Limited [2012] HCA 5 it was held that the applicanthave tried todazed the similar hurdle in other slip and fall matters of recognizing a normal connection among the lack of a adequate cleaning system and the harm suffered by an individual, when it was not known when the slippery substance was there. So, in this case it could be observed that the day when she went to buy the chocolate was a rainy day. When she entered the supermarket she had a glance over a row where only one chocolate left which she required to buy as from the past few days she was going but all of the chocolates were sold out. So, in order to get the last bar of chocolate she thought to run fast to grab the bar and she increased her speed as she saw one person standing near to the bar. Therefore, when she was about to obtain the chocolate she broke her back as she fell down on the melted ice cream. So, it might be concluded that there was a transparent case of carelessness on the part of the supermarket as they did not clean up the ice cream which was there on the floor. But it was observed that Tamara as a sensible individual failed to take sensible concern of her own protection. As when she knew that she was all wet and could fall downthen also she ran in speed. As a result, she was found to be contributory negligent for the injurysuffered by her. At the same time it was stated by theAldi Supermarkets that they could prove that a person was employed by the store to examine the supermarket aisles and cleans up any spill every 40 minutes. So, the store claimed that they had taken reasonable care to protect the individuals. Conclusion Therefore, it would be advised to Tamara that although she could not bring a case against the store in order to claim for the whole amount for her injury but she could hold the store liable for certain amount ofinjury which was suffered by Tamara. So, it was concluded that Tamara was contributory negligent for her injuryas shehas madecontribution to her own injury.

Organizational Development Process of Leading Organizational
Question: Discuss about the Organizational Development for Process of Leading Organizational. Answer: Problems within the individuals, team and NCLS: The organization NCLS does not have a proper infrastructure for conducting group meetings (Anderson, 2015). There are a number of volunteers and students but the number of computers and printers is limited. Julie, the full time employee of the organization indeed had some drawbacks. Negligence in her part was noticed, as she did not receive the urgent call rather sorted the phone message which was a day old. There was no maintenance in the organization. Julie was not cool-headed and was quickly frustrated by the queries of the staff member, which showed her impatient nature. It was her duty to look into the funds for the organization yet she failed to provide proper statistics to Dylan Foundation when the staffs were already working great. Julie liked to keep the things on hold, which is reflected from the case that Jean brings to her notice. The training that was provided to the staff member was not productive as the staff members still failed to understand several matters (Austin, 2012). The organization hired law students from all specialization, which some students did not like. Different Ethical Issues to address by NCLS: The organization Northern County Legal Service (NCLS) they have arranged a meeting with the clients in a small waiting room where the AC was not working which they should have ensured prior to the meeting as it was a hot summer day. There was no provision of fan as well. The clients with prior appointment and with no appointment were made to sit together and the management was treating the appointment fixed clients first rather than those who have come early. This led to growing frustration among the clients who were waiting since the morning. This was unethical on the part NCLS and this needs to be addressed by handling the appointment fixed client and clients with no appointment separately. The running away of Christina from the small meeting room to see her parking meter without answering the clients was indecency on her part. She should have addressed the queries of the client. Possible solution to resolve the issues Though there is a financial shortages faced by the organization, Julie needs to see that the infrastructure of the organization is proper maintained on a monthly basis. The allocated funds should be used for setting up of more number of computers for the students (Leonard, 2013). Since Julie is the headed, the organization so there should not be negligence on her part. The queries of the staffs need to be resolved quickly without showing any form of frustration. She did not do the official work of maintaining statistics, which created the shortage of funds. This needs to be resolved. Julie did not take the urgent matters quite seriously and rather postponed it to a latter point of time. This type of nature should be eliminated as this might have a serious consequence. Selection of the candidate for the training must be done based on the specialization subject i.e. housing law. The training must be made more interesting with practical applications so that law students are willing to work (Shani, Pasmore, Woodman, 2012). References: Anderson, D.

8 Types of (College Applicant) Parents
College applicants arent the only players in the process. Parents, we know many of you are lurking in the background if not leading the charge on the frontline. We see you. Here are the 8 different types of college applicant parents weve come across. You know which one you are 1. The OG Tiger Mom This parent has done her homework. She knows the optimal month for her kid to take the SAT, has memorized all the supplemental essay prompts, and investigated which schools need a french horn player (which her lucky applicant picked up in middle school). Sheââ¬â¢s captaining the ship. She really wishes she were the one applying ââ¬â she would crush it.2. The Puppeteer This parent doesnââ¬â¢t overtly assert her control, but sheââ¬â¢s definitely pulling the strings behind the scenes. A master of tactful coercion, this parent is able to convince her applicant that every strategic step originated with her kid.3. The Backseat Driver The Backseat Driver isnââ¬â¢t entirely sure which path is necessarily the right path to take, but heââ¬â¢s definitely vocal with his suggestions. This is probably his first time through the wringer, so heââ¬â¢s taking as many peopleââ¬â¢s advice as possible. Every fork in the road is an opportunity to influence the destination. Heââ¬â¢s doing the best he can with what heââ¬â¢s got.4. The Surrogate Sometimes, you just need to bring someone else in to parent your kid. This parent knows her words will fall on deaf ears. But, hire a third party college expert to channel her wishes, and her applicant will fall in line.5. The Closer This parent stays benched and inactive until the last minute. She steers clear of her applicant and offers advice only when asked. But, when it comes crunch time, the Closer steps in to make sure the game isnââ¬â¢t lost in the final minutes.6. The Financier This parent isnââ¬â¢t particularly involved in the substantive aspects of the application process. She is, however, concerned with financing the endeavor. She guides her applicant toward schools that are economically viable, and does her best to navigate FAFSA and hunt for scholarships.7. The Hands-off Passenger He whole heartedly trusts that his kid can handle the application process for herself, so he stays totally hands-free. For better or worse, his applicant has the controls, and heââ¬â¢s just along for the ride.8. The Co-pilot Chances are, you genuinely think youââ¬â¢re the Co-pilot whoââ¬â¢s perfectly in sync with your kid. Not too aggressive. Not too passive. Just the perfect amount of support for your applicant to nail each takeoff and landing. Hey, you might be But thatââ¬â¢s a question only your Pilot can answer. The college application is a tough, emotionally draining, drawn-out process for applicants andparents. We feel your pain. Share your experience with us in the comment section below! Stayed tuned for upcoming webinars where well have parents whove been in your shoes answer your questions.
