Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- [a] sounds like ‘animal’ and [e] sounds like ‘je’.
- They are both oral vowels, unlike the nasal vowels [em/am] and [en/an].
- Two or more adjectives after the noun are separated by ‘et’. Adjectives before the noun don't need ‘et’.
- In some French sentences, adjectives sandwich the noun e.g. une belle maison blanche.
Keywords
[a] - pronounced as in ‘animal’
[e] - pronounced as in ‘je’
Adjective - word that gives information about a noun
Common misconception
Adjectives follow the same order and punctuation as in English.
If there is more than one adjective in a sentence, adjectives after the noun are separated by ‘et’. BRAGS adjectives go before the noun and do not need ‘et’. In some sentences, there are adjectives surrounding the noun.
