I need help with FRENCH; just the basics!


Question Posted Thursday May 11 2006, 2:14 pm

Hey people :)

Okeey, here's the deal..
I'm a MAJOR procrastinator! The biggest ever!
All year, since last summer, I've done absoloutly nothing in French, thinking "I always pass anyway"..yeah, this year - THAT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME! Not at all! I'm so deep in, that if I don't pass the french test tomorrow, they won't let me graduate! Which basically is the same thing as saying my father will kill me.
So, I bet you're thinking "we're here to give advice, not to listen to your whining and b*tching" BUT, here's where I need your help, there's appearently no way to practise for the test, because we don't know what it's gonna be about, but my teacher told me that it was basically gonna be a letter written in french, that we'll have to reply to. And as long as I get 10 sentences right (or atleast 6) she'll let me pass. So my question is: how do you put together a sentence in french? Like, just the basics, what comes after a verb, where does the adjective go..the noun, and so on? Or maybe let's say the letter is from a foreign student, and the person is introducing her/Him-self, and she wants me to answer that..how do I tell this person a bit about myself? Or how do I say simple things like, "wow you have a lot of siblings" or "your family sounds great" "how much does that job pay" and so on, just serious first grade french I don't care about how advanced it is, as long as I write a couple of correct sentences I pass - and I know, I should learn my lesson for procrastinating, but TRUST me, I have! I so have! I'm freaking out here, my total future depends on it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥
