Verbs

Verbs have no infinitive like Cantonese. They are the same.

Past Tense

The only past tense there is in Tsz Kong French is passé composé, which requires to just add 'jor' after the subeject. For example, "I ate a egg tart" would be "Je jor sik un'dantatte"

Future Tense

Use the verb to will (wui'er) and the infinitive of the verb, so "I will eat" becomes "Je wui sik"

Vocabulary

Most nouns and verbs are from Cantonese written in French, however, there are some exceptions.
