So, French sentence structure and openers? Two key points that must be understood if you want to learn to speak French as they create a base for almost everything you will learn.

To start with we’ll discuss the basic sentence structure, it goes something like this: Opener – Verb – Description/ Elaboration of that verb. So for an active example it would be something like: je (Opener) mange (Verb) mon petit dejeuner (Description/ Elaboration of that verb).

Variation of openers: In terms of prepositions there are various different openers which will have an effect on the rest of the words within the sentence e.g. the verb. Generally you should take the je form of the sentence as a sort of “base” structure that you can manipulate depending on the preposition/ opener being used.

Je/J’ai/J’irari –
I (have/ will go).
Tu – You.
Nous – We.
Vouz – (You plural).
Il/Elle (He/ She).
Ils/Elles (They).

Various different verbs: These are some of the most common verbs that you can use in a basic sentence structure. Again you should take the je form of the sentence as a “base” for further manipulation of the sentence.

Regarde – Watch.
Ecoute – Listen.
Lire – Read.
Mange – Eat.
Bois – Drink.

This is a merely the basics on how to structure a French sentence and there are of course far more in depth ways to structure sentences adding in various words such as time markers or personal opinions.
