Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)

Default word order

French is mostly SVO, but pronouns often come before the verb (Je le vois = I see it).

• Start with short sentences and keep the pattern consistent.
• Copy a native pattern, then swap one word at a time.

Core sentences to memorize

These are extremely reusable. Read them aloud, then change one word (water → coffee, bathroom → station…).
