Key learning points

1. It is important to revisit French vocabulary regularly to keep our knowledge strong and healthy (like a plant!).
2. I do, make is 'je fais', you do, make is 'tu fais', 'he does, makes' is 'il fait' and 'she does, makes' is 'elle fait'.
3. 'Faire' can be used with a range of nouns to express different activities e.g. 'faire la cuisine' (to do the cooking).
4. To make a yes/no question clear, we can add 'est-ce que' (‘is it that…?) at the start of any statement.
5. To ask a ‘what’ question, we can add 'qu'est-ce que' (‘what is it that…?’) at the start of any statement.
