Sharing preferences and opinions in French

Sharing preferences and opinions in French

Use “préférer” for a preference, “penser que” for an opinion, and “parce que” to give a reason. Unlike English, French marks whether “you” is familiar (“tu”) or polite or plural (“vous”); keep that choice consistent in the question and reply. In “Je ne suis pas d’accord,” “ne…pas” surrounds the verb to make it negative.
