H-O-R-T-E-N-S-E Ask questions in French To make a sentence into a question, add est-ce que to the beginning e.g. Est-ce que tu habites dans une maison? Do you live in a house ?

The adjective must match the noun. If the noun is masculine the adjective must be masculine. If the noun is feminine the adjective must be feminine. Usually we make an adjective feminine by adding an e. e.g. un grand garçon une grande fille we have to change the spelling of some adjectives: e.g un chat blanc une souris blanche if it already ends in an e, do not add another e: e.g un crayon rouge une gomme rouge Activity 1a Underline the correct adjective: 1. J’ai un livre bleu/bleue 2. Elle est une grand/grande fille. 3. Nous avons une petite/petit maison. 4. Tu as un chien noire/noir. 5. Il est une souris gros/grosse. 6. Il est un oiseau verte/vert. 7.

Why? A dictionary helps you to understand new words and words you have forgotten. It helps you to say and write new things. It saves having to ask the teacher. It helps you to do better in tests and exams. It shows you how to say words properly To make the most of your dictionary, you need to know your dictionary well. 1. Your dictionary has two halves a. FRENCH – ENGLISH which is at the FRONT b. ENGLISH – FRENCH which is at the BACK 2. The words are in alphabetical order 6 3. There are words at the top of the page to help you. They show the first and last words on the page. 4. Some words are in bold or a different colour. These are the headwords which are the words you are looking up. 5. Abbreviations are used to tell you about words : nm = a masculine noun nf = a feminine noun adj = adjective vi or vt = verb adv = adverb pron = pronoun prep = preposition Some dictionaries tell you exactly what the word is. E.g. noun masculine / singular Activity 6 To look up words quickly, you need to become an alphabet expert! Time yourself to see how quickly you can put these words into alphabetical order, without a dictionary!
