A comprehensive overview of French sentence structure, including word order, subject-verb agreement, question and negation formation, and common patterns.
French sentence structure follows a relatively straightforward word order of subject + verb + object (SVO), similar to English. However, French requires agreement between the subject and verb in person and number, and includes specific rules for positioning adjectives, pronouns, and negations. Understanding how to form statements, questions, and negative sentences using these building blocks is key to mastering French grammar.
