27
Q

always (“all the days”)

A

toujours

Note you can also use “toujours” to mean “still”

Like “ tu as toujours ici” = “you are still here”

28
Q

too much / too many

A

Trop
Trop (de…) = before a noun

1) Before an adjective
Vous êtes trop jeunes pour ce film. = You’re too young for this movie.

2) Before an adverb
Ce TGV va trop lentement. = This TGV is going too slowly.

3) Right after a verb
Tu manges trop ! = You’re eating too much!

4) Before a noun, with “de” : “Trop de”

“Trop de” can mean “too many” or “too much.”
J’ai mis trop de sel dans mon gâteau. = I put too much salt in my cake.
Ma tante a trop de chats! = My aunt has too many cats!

And one final note:
In colloquial French, Trop = “Très”

It’s a popular turn of phrase; a casual exaggeration to express your enthusiasm (or dismay.) For example:

C’est trop bien ici ! = It’s too good here, it’s amazing here.
Je suis trop contente que tu sois là ! = I’m so happy you’re here!
Oh non, c’est trop dommage ! = Oh no, that’s too bad!

29
Q

so much (as in “so enthusiastic”)

A

Tellement (de …) = before a noun
Il travaille tellement. He works so much.
Il a tellement mangé que … He ate so much that …
Andrew est tellement gentil. Andrew’s so nice.

30
Q

a lot

A

Beaucoup

before a noun = beaucoup (de….)

Also use after a verb “On marche beaucoup a Paris”, “Nous mangeons beaucoup”.

Note, before a noun, “beaucoup” becomes “beaucoup de…(= a lot of….)”, ie, “il y a beaucoup de gens ici ce soir”
il y a beaucoup de la plages a st barts

Beaucoup plus = a lot more
Beaucoup moins = a lot less
Beaucoup trop = way too much

In some cases, you might use souvent (= often) instead:

Tu viens souvent ici ? = Do you come here often?

Nous allons très souvent à Lyon. = We go to Lyon a lot. / We go to Lyon very often.

When there are two verbs in a row, beaucoup comes right after the one you want to emphasize. For example:

J’aime manger. = I like to eat. (Verbs: “Aime” and “Manger”)
J’aime beaucoup manger. = I really like to eat.
J’aime manger beaucoup. = I like to eat a lot (a lot of food.)

42

A

Nous allons très souvent à St Barts
