Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [an/en] can be contrasted for practice with [a], [e] and [ain].
- Adjectives often add -e to describe a female person; adjectives already ending in -e do not change.
- 'Je suis', 'tu es' and 'elle, il est' are all parts of the verb 'être' to be, being.
Keywords
[an/en] - pronounced as in 'enfant'
Être - verb meaning 'to be', being
Tu es - meaning 'you are' for one person
Adjective agreement - a change in adjective ending, for example, adding an -e to describe a woman or a girl
Common misconception
French adjectives never change form.
French adjectives do change; this is called adjective agreement. One change is to match the gender of the person described.
