How to always say never in French!
Get ready to rock your berets off as we embark to master “always” and “never” in French. Picture yourself wowing crowds with your impeccable grammar of “toujours” and “jamais” while pulling off a perfectly timed French accent!
#1 How to use always in French?
To use the word “always” in French, you can use the word “toujours.” For example, “Je suis toujours prêt” means “I am always ready,” and “Il fait toujours beau” means “It is always beautiful.” Remember to place “toujours” before the verb in your sentence.
Je suis toujours en retard pour les rendez-vous. = I am always late for appointments.
Nous allons toujours à la même plage chaque été. (We always go to the same beach every summer.)
#2 How to use jamais in French
To express “never” in French, you can use the word “jamais.” Follow these simple guidelines to master its usage. Sandwich your verb with “ne” and “jamais” in your sentence to convey the idea of “never.” Remember to include “ne” before the verb to form the negation in writing. For example, “Je ne mange jamais de viande” means “I never eat meat,” and “Il n’oublie jamais son parapluie” translates to “He never forgets his umbrella.” Now this said, remember that in spoken French, the ‘ne’ is dropped.
Tu n’es jamais à l’heure ! = You’re never on time
Je ne refuse jamais un bon verre de vin ! = I never decline a good glass of wine.
Je ne prends jamais le bus, je préfère marcher ou prendre le métro. = I never take the bus, I prefer to walk or take the subway.
Il ne regarde jamais les films d’horreur. = He never watches horror movies!
