French in Plain Sight's video: French grammar is weird as an English-speaker

Salut à tous et à toutes, French grammar is weird. When you're learning French from the perspective of a native English-speaker, it can seem a bit odd sometimes. The French grammar doesn't often follow the same logic as English does, and by consequence of comparing them, it can get us quite confused. *I miss you, I don't care, I care, someone called me, know how to...* Here are some of my favourite discoveries of real everyday French where the grammar is just bizarre to us anglophones. You don't *have to* understand the logic to use them but I find that learning what's going on behind the words helps me make sense of it and move on to the next obstacle. Whether you just want to speak the French of the French or a grammar-fiend like moi, or both, I hope this video will be a very useful one to you all! Alex --- 👉English speaker?
