Tenses
Past Tense
The only past tense there is in Tsz Kong French is passé composé, which requires to just add 'jor' at the end of the verb. For example, "I ate a egg tart" would be "Je sicjor uni dantatte"
Future Tense
Use the verb to will (wui'er) and the infinitive of the verb, so "I will eat" becomes "Je wui sicquer"
Vocabulary
Most nouns and verbs are from Cantonese written in French, however, there are some exceptions.
