Key learning points
- The SSCs (sound-symbol correspondences) [au], [eau] and [o] make the same sound.
- To refer to a plural noun use the indefinite article des (some). It does not change based on the gender of the noun.
- Adjective agreement is the change of spelling of an adjective based on the gender and number of the noun it describes.
- We often add an 'e' to make an adjective feminine and an 's' to make it plural. Add an 'es' to make it feminine plural.
- 'Il y a' means 'there are'. 'Ce sont' means 'these are'. 'Ce sont' is the plural form of 'c'est'.
Keywords
[(e)au], [o] - pronounced as in 'gauche' and 'photo'
Adjective agreement - when the ending of an adjective matches the noun it describes in gender and number
Plural adjective - an adjective in its plural form: deux livres intéressants
Des - indefinite article meaning 'des'
Il y a - French verbal expression meaning 'there is' or 'there are'
Common misconception
