French Verbs with "DE" and "À"

I'm majoring in French Studies at university and find these videos very helpful!

Let me tell you this "de" have been very tricky for me but this explanation of ING+ infinitive just made it so clear. Thank you!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😘🤝🤝

There has never been a video of yours -- even about things I thought I knew already -- from which I didn't learn new things. But this one was by far one of the most useful and filled a niche for me! Merci! 😊

Merci beaucoup Alexa pour ton magnifique travail!!! I've watched every single video of yours and I can tell you that I'm amazed at your great teaching skills. All I can say is that your transmissibility is beyond unique!!! 😊 Thank you again, many kisses from Greece!!!

Still I am confuse in 'de' and 'a'. Your all the videos are really very clear and simple, but this one, i still couldn't understand the difference between two. i seems that there is no rule, i just need to learn by heart where to use "de" or "a"

Hi alexa, learning french from you from a year and now guess what i am in france for next 5-10 years . thanks for your positivity and will be happy to meet you face to face . it will inspire me to learn french more after meeting one of the best teacher ................

Your videos are so very helpful! Clear and concise! Merci beaucoup!!!

Is there a rule for when to use de and when to use à, or do you have to learn each one by heart?

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for! ✨💖🏆

Why ''de" has so many different meanings. Sometime "de" is "of", some othertime it is "to" or "from". Why french has no seperate word for "of ", "to" and "from.? It is very difficult. Please make video on the rules of "de".

this explains what I have not figured out from two different books... !

Your vids are always so appreciated. Thank you

In case anyone ese wants to copy these in to notes: Accepter de : to agree to arreter de / s'arreter de : to stop doing something avoir besoin de : to need to avoir envie de : to want to avoir l'intention de : to inted to avoir peur de : to be afraid of choisir de: to choose to decider de : to decide to demander de: to ask to empecher de : pre prevent from essayer de : to try to interdire de : to forbid to meriter de : to deserve to oublier de : to forget to promettre de : to promise to proposer de : to suggest refuser de : to refuse to rever de : to dream of venir de : to come to (I have just...) aider a : to help to apprendre a : to learn to arriver a : to manage to s'attendre a : to expect to avoir du mal a : to find it hard to chercher a : to try to commencer a : to start to continuer a : to continue to encourager a : to encourage to s'habituer a : to get used to se mettre a : to start to penser a : to think of reussir a : to succeed i servir a : to be used for

i don't understand how people can dislikes these useful lessons when it takes so much hard work to make them, people don't really care about efforts, i am surprised,

Thanks for this video. But are these lists exhaustive? Does it cover ALL the verbs followed by "de" and "a" or perhaps there are more?

Hello. I love watching your videos Alexa. Could you do a lesson on when to use de or a with adjectives and nouns connected? As in silk dress. Robe de soie. Pot a lait. Tarte aux fraises. Maybe incidentally you could have side note about why blue dress is robe blue. Thank you for your help.

your every single video makes me more easier to learn french

hello, i love very much your lessons, they are very useful. Regarding to this lesson, would you please make a video to talk about when should or should not pronounce 'de' in the sentence please? i had learnt that in the phonetic class before, but i have totally forgotten. thank you.

Hi Alexa! Thank you very much for such useful videos! Can you please explain the reason why there’s ‘de’ in between those verbs: Il aimait la façon gracieuse qu’elle avait de nager dans l’eau.

i dont suppose there's a way or pattern to remember which verbs take a and which take de, is there? (apart from practice)
