Key learning points
- French has three words for 'my' and three for 'your'. You have to look at the noun that follows to choose the right one.
- For singular masculine nouns, we use 'mon' (my) and 'ton' (your), and for feminine nouns 'ma' (my) and 'ta' (your).
- For masculine and feminine plural nouns we use 'mes' (my) and 'tes' (your).
- To ask 'which' with a masculine noun, use 'quel': 'Tu joues à quel sport ?' (Which sport do you play?).
- To ask 'which' with a feminine noun, use 'quelle': 'Tu fais quelle activité ?' (Which activity do you do?).
Keywords
Quel - 'which' for a masculine singular noun
Quelle - 'which' for a feminine singular noun
Common misconception
My friend (girl) is 'ma amie' in French.
Even though 'amie' is feminine in this example, we use 'mon amie' because the word 'amie' starts with a vowel and this makes the pronunciation smoother.
Clémentine and Jean-Michel feature briefly in this lesson and they live in Haïti. You may wish to explore in more detail the cultural elements mentioned about sport in Haïti at the beginning of the 2nd learning cycle.
