Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Nasal vowel sounds occur when one or more vowels precede a nasal consonant e.g. an, un, ain, on, en.
  2. When a nasal sound such as [an] is followed by a vowel, it is no longer a nasal sound e.g. aucune.
  3. 'ne ...aucun' is a negative structure meaning 'not any' or 'no' before a singular noun.
  4. 'aucun/aucune' must agree in gender with the noun it refers to.

Keywords

  • Ne ... aucun/e - no, not one, not any

Common misconception

Use 'ne ... pas' to mean 'no, not one, not any'.

The structure 'ne ... pas' is used to negative a verb. To say that there was 'no, not one, not any' of a noun, use the structure 'ne ... aucun/e' e.g. il n'y a aucun fruit ici.
