Spot on, I wish I could remember all the series, when I were a lad it was all fields round here and I could recite the whole lot, them were the days them were, you could buy a pint of beer for 27p (ah happy student days - that was for Adnams too!)

at school, in a most impolitically correct way, we remembered this as

and

 

Naughty magistrates always sit pondering smelly Clepoatra's a*se.

 

must have worked, as I still remember them *smile*

........ there are millions for the geological sciences but I found it a lot more logical to remember the actual sequence rather than a load of mumbo jumbo .....

 

N = Never = North

E = Eat = East

S = Shredded = South

W = Wheat = West

 

or

 

N = North

E = East

S = South

W = West

 

 

Unless, of course they were rude ..... *eek*

Far to clever that Alex 😬

 

French perfect tense. Two parts. First part, the verb avoir - to have.

 

J'ai = I have.

 

Second part, the past participle of the verb i.e. Manger - to eat, mangé - eaten.

 

Thus J'ai mangé - I have eaten (which is true, a cheese and bean jacket spud).

 

except a few verbs which take être - to be , as the first part.

 

i.e. Je suis arrivée - I have arrived (lit. I am arrived)

 

The verbs that do this (at schoolboy level anyway) :-

 

D evenir

R evenir

 

D escendre

R etourner

A ller

P artir

E ntrer

R ester

S ortir

V enir

A rriver

N aître

In my experience is was always chase and then kiss or in fact chase and get kicked.

 

I'm still trying to think of this evenings question to tax Hoopy & Noger and so far I've failed cos they are either very clever or make great use of Google *wink*
