Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Vocabulary should be practised little and often if you want to remember it.
- 'Aux' means 'to the' for masculine and feminine plural nouns, 'au' means the same for singular masculine nouns.
- 'Aux' sounds like 'au' unless it is followed by a vowel or an 'h', when the 'x' would be pronounced like 'z' in English.
- We can ask intonation questions with question words like 'où ?'. In French, they go after the verb in the sentence.
- When writing in French, it is useful to use reference resources to personalise or add a touch of flair to our work.

Common misconception
'Au' can be used before masculine singular and plural nouns to mean 'to the' and 'at the'.
'Au' can only be used before masculine singular nouns to mean 'to the' and 'at the', 'aux' needs to be used before masculine/feminine plural nouns.
