TWENTY-EIGHTH LESSON.- Vingt-huitième Leçon. Do and AM, when used to interrogate, for all persons and tenses, may be rendered by EST-CE QUE. But they must be rendered thus for verbs whose first person singular, present tense, cannot be employed interrogatively.1 Obs. Some verbs, however, ending in e mute in the first person singular, present tense, may be used interrogatively in that person, but then they change e mute into é with the acute accent, followed by je. (See Note 1, Lesson XX.) Do I speak? Do I love? Ex. Are you acquainted with that man? I am not acquainted with him Do you drink cider? Parlé-je ? Est-ce que j'aime ? Connaissez-vous cet homme ? Il le connaît. 1 Verbs whose first person singular forms only one syllable, as: je sens, I feel; je prends, I take; je tends, I tend ; je fonds, I melt: or whose last syllable sounds like je, such as, je mange, I eat; je venge, I revenge; je range, I range; je songe, I dream: and others, such as, j'unis, I unite; je permets, I permit; j'offre, I offer; &c. &c. |
