Key learning points
- ‘T’ at the end of a word is usually silent but liaison means that we can pronounce it when followed by a vowel.
- To say 'he/she does' in the present tense, use (il/elle) 'fait', (the 3rd person singular).
- To say 'they do' in the present tense, use (ils/elles) 'font', (the 3rd person plural).
Keywords
Liaison - pronouncing a usually silent final consonant because a vowel follows
Faire - 'to do, doing', with two 3rd person forms - 'fait' (he, she does) and 'font' (they do)
Common misconception
'Faire' always means 'to do/make'.
'Faire' has multiple meanings - 'to do/make' is the most common, but it can also mean 'go', 'have' and other verbal phrases.
