Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- [eu] sounds like 'deux'.
- When an adjective is feminine, its spelling and sound can change. Usually an 'e' is added.
- An 'e' is not added to form a feminine adjective if the masculine adjective already ends in '-e', e.g., 'triste'.
- To change a statement into a question, you can raise your voice at the end.
- We can use 'oui' (yes) and 'non' (no) to answer questions.
Keywords
[eu] - as pronounced in 'deux'
Statement - a sentence that expresses a fact, idea or opinion
Question - a sentence that asks for a reply
Common misconception
All questions in French must have a question word or start with a verb.
Statements can be made into questions in French by changing the tone of your voice.
