Key learning points
- Nasal vowel sounds occur when one or more vowels precede a nasal consonant, e.g. an, un, ain, on, en.
- When a nasal sound such as [an] is followed by a vowel, it is no longer a nasal sound, e.g. 'aucune'.
- 'Ne ... aucun' is a negative structure meaning 'not any' or 'no' before a singular noun.
- '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/aucune', e.g. 'il n'y a aucun fruit ici'.
Teacher tip
Task B5 suggests students speak for a minute on the topic of health. Teachers might wish to give more or less time to their classes as appropriate and amend the instruction on the slide.
Equipment
Mini whiteboards and pens are useful, if appropriate.
