How to Determine Rhythmic Groups in French
Although the division between some rhythmic groups (such as at the juncture of two clauses in a sentence) may seem obvious, in one-clause sentences, it may be less obvious. A lot depends on how fast you are speaking and on the degree of formality or informality of the conversation. Here is a list of some general categories for identifying rhythmic groups in French (with some overlap): 1. subject pronoun + (object pronoun +) verb Ils sont partis. Tu m'en as donné. Je ne l'ai pas acheté. Lui avez-vous parlé ? 2. preposition + object of the preposition Nous partons — avec nos amis. 3. (long) noun phrase as subject La grande table noire — coûte trop cher. (short) Le français — se parle ici. OR Le français se parle ici. 4. (long) adjectival noun phrase C'est la femme — aux longs cheveux blonds. (short) Avez-vous trouvé — la bouteille de vin ? 5. (long) adverb or adverbial phrase Ils attendent — très patiemment. (short) J'aime bien — ton tailleur rose. 6. (long) direct object & infinitive phrase Nous achetons — les bonnes baguettes croustillantes. Elle préfère — changer de pantalon. (short) Vous mangez l'abricot. Tu peux t'asseoir. 7. parenthetical expressions Ma fille, — attache tes lacets. Mon ami, — celui de Toulouse, — est physicien. Ils viennent d'arriver, — je crois.
