A LEVEL / INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREAT FRENCH
REVISION


To express although/though in French, you use:


bien que + Mode subjonctif


What is the Subjunctive?

The subjunctive is a mood: a grammatical term which describes the
attitude of the subject of the sentence.

 In English, using the subjunctive is rare and formal. It is no longer
used very much.

 In the subjonctif, there are only eight verbs with irregular
conjugations: faire, aller, pouvoir, être, savoir, vouloir, avoir. (see
the table below)



The subjunctive in French is very common. It shows the mood of the
subject of the sentence (wish, hope, fear, uncertainty…) toward a fact
or an idea – often involving another person.
