Key learning points

- Use ne ... plus for no longer, ne ... ni ... ni for neither, nor, ne ... pas encore for not yet and ne ... que for only.
- To make an adjective feminine we add -e; -x → -se, -el → -elle, -en → -enne, -f → -ve, -er → -ère, or no change.
- To form plural adjectives we add an -s, unless the adjective ends in -x or -s. -al and -eau change to -aux and -eaux.
Keywords
Negation - two elements, e.g. 'ne … pas', around the main verb expressing negative meaning
Adjective agreement - when the ending of an adjective matches the noun it describes in gender and number
Common misconception
The only way an adjective is made feminine is by adding the letter 'e' to a masculine adjective.
Although many feminine adjectives are formed by adding 'e' to a masculine adjective, there are other feminine endings and rules governing these, e.g. -se, -elle, -enne, -ve, -ère.
Equipment
Mini whiteboards and pens are useful, if available.
