Et Moi Dans Mon Coin

Perhaps this is a song about personal pronouns

Moi
Toi
Etc

After another morning studying French conjunctions, I wondered if this would ever come together – if I will ever learn French

Then I heard the familiar melody of a French song Si j’avais un marteau, aka “If I had a hammer” and recognized the si (if) clause

Conditional Perfect Tense – If I had a hammer
and
Conditional Tense – I would hammer in the morning

Si j’avais un marteau (If I had a hammer)
Je cognerais le jour (I would knock the day)
ce serait le bonheur (that would be happiness)

Les Conjonctions
Conjunctions provide a link between similar words or groups of words, such as nouns, verbs, people, etc
Coordinating conjunctions join words and groups of words with an equal value.
Subordinating conjunctions join dependent clauses to main clauses

pourvu que (provided that)

à moins que (unless)

bien que (although)

use of prepositions with place-names
contractions with a and de with la and les

à (at)
de (of)
en (in)

avant and arrière are prepositions and therefore do not agree with nouns
droit and gauche are regular adjectives that do agree
