Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [eu] sounds like the 'eu' in 'deux', two.
- Adding -s to nouns makes them plural.
- Numbers 1-12 go before nouns to indicate how many there are; most numbers don’t change spelling for gender or number.
- 'Il y a' means there is, there are.
- When numbers ending in an -s or -x are followed by a vowel, the -s and -x are pronounced; this is liaison.
Keywords
Eu - pronounced as in 'deux'
Liaison - pronouncing a usually silent final consonant because a word starting with a vowel follows
Plural noun - a word that refers to more than one person, place or thing
Il y a - irregular verb phrase meaning there is or there are
Common misconception
Numbers ending in 's' and 'x' followed by nouns beginning with a vowel are pronounced the same as numbers followed by a noun beginning with a consonant.
Numbers ending in 's' and 'x' followed by nouns beginning with a vowel are pronounced with a liasion; the final consonant of the number is pronounced. 'Trois oranges' has a liaison, 'trois chiens' does not.
