Show transcript
The verb 'prendre' (to take, taking) has an irregular past participle: pris - j'ai pris une photo.
Other verbs like 'prendre' (comprendre, apprendre) have the same past participle ending: il a compris la tâche.
To talk about 'having' a meal, food or drink in French, use the verb 'prendre', not 'avoir': tu as pris un café hier.
The adverb 'déjà' means 'already': j'ai déjà mangé. In a question, it can also mean 'yet': tu as déjà mangé ?
Adverb 'encore' means 'again': j'ai encore joué. In a negative sentence, it means 'not yet': je n'ai pas encore joué.
