Grammaire

1 Nouns and articlesA noun is the name of someone or something or the word for a thing, e.g. Melanie, Mr James, a book, a pen, work.

The de nite article is the word for the (le, la, l, les) used with a noun, when referring to a particular person or thing.

The inde nite article is the word for a, an, some (un, une, des) used with a noun.In French, the article indicates whether the noun is masculine (le, un), feminine (la, une) or plural (les, des). Articles are often missed out in English, but not in French.

1.1 Masculine and feminineAll nouns in French are either masculine or feminine.

masculine singular feminine singular

b[ garonkd village

bW llekd[ ville

before a vowel

bappartement bpicerie

Nouns which refer to people often have a special feminine form, which usually ends in -e.

masculine feminine

un amiun Franaisun client

une ami[une Franais[une client[

But sometimes there is no special feminine form.

un touristeun lveun enfant

une touristeune lveune enfant

1.2 Is it masculine or feminine?Sometimes the ending of a word can give you a clue as to whether its masculine or feminine. Here are some guidelines:

endings normally masculine

exceptionsendings normally feminine

exceptions

-age-aire-

-eau-eur-ier-in-ing-isme-ment

-o

une image

leau (f)

la n

la mto

-ade-ance-ation-e-re-erie-ette-que

-rice-sse-ure

un lyce

le plastiqueun moustiqueun kiosque

1.3 Singular and pluralNouns can be singular (referring to just one thing or person) or plural (referring to more than one thing or person):

un chien a dog Z[i chieni dogs

Most nouns form the plural by adding an -s. This is not usually sounded, so the word may sound the same when you hear or say it.

The words le, la and l become les in the plural and this does sound different. The words un and une become des.

singular plural

le chatla maison

lamiun livreune table

b[i chatib[i maisonib[i amiiZ[i livreiZ[i tablei

However, a few words have a plural ending in -x. This is not sounded either.

un cadeauun oiseau

un jeuun chou

Z[i cadeaunZ[i oiseaunZ[i jeunZ[i choun

Nouns which already end in -s, -x or -z dont change in the plural.

un repasle prix

Z[i repasb[i prix

1.4 Some or any (the partitive article)The word for some or any changes according to the noun it is used with.

singular plural

masculine feminine before a vowel (all forms)

du pain de la viande de leau des poires

To say isnt a, isnt any and not a, not any use ne ... pas de.Il ny a pas de piscine. There isnt a swimming pool.Je nai pas dargent. I havent any money.Il ny a pas de fraises. There arent any strawberries.Je nai pas de frres. I havent any brothers.

2 AdjectivesAn adjective is a word which tells you more about a noun.

In French, adjectives agree with the noun, which means that they are masculine, feminine, singular or plural to match the noun.

Look at the patterns in the tables below to see how adjectives agree.

2.1 Regular adjectives

singular plural

masculine feminine masculine feminine

Many adjectives follow this pattern.

grandintelligent

petit

grandeintelligente

petite

grandsintelligents

petits

grandesintelligentes

petites

cent cinquante-huit

159

Adjectives which end in -u, -i or - follow this pattern, but although the spelling changes, they dont sound any different when you say them:

bleujoli

bleuejolie

bleusjolis

bleuesjolies

Adjectives which already end in -e (with no accent) have no different feminine form:

jaunemince

jaunemince

jaunesminces

jaunesminces

Adjectives which already end in -s have no different masculine plural form:

franais franaise franais franaises

Adjectives which end in -er follow this pattern:

cher chre chers chres

Adjectives which end in -eux follow this pattern:

dlicieux dlicieuse dlicieux dlicieuses

Some adjectives double the last letter before adding an -e for the feminine form:

mignongrosbon

mignonnegrossebonne

mignonsgrosbons

mignonnesgrossesbonnes

2.2 Irregular adjectivesMany common adjectives are irregular, and you need to learn each one separately. Here are two common ones:

blanclong

blanchelongue

blancslongs

blancheslongues

A few adjectives do not change at all:

marron marron marron marron

Words like this are known as invariable.

2.3 Word orderIn most cases adjectives and words which describe nouns follow the noun. This is different from English.

un lm trs intressant a very interesting lmun sport dangereux a dangerous sportAll colours and nationalities go after the noun.

un pantalon gris grey trousersmon correspondant franais my French penfriendHowever, some common adjectives, like grand, petit, bon, beau (belle) do come in front of the noun.un grand btiment a large buildingun petit chat a little catun bon repas a good mealune belle ville a beautiful city

3 Pronouns3.1 Subject pronounsSubject pronouns are pronouns like I, you, etc. which usually come before the verb.

In French, the subject pronouns are:

je Itu you (to a young person, close friend, relative, animal)il he, itelle she, iton one, you, we, they, people in generalnous wevous you (plural; to one adult you dont know well)ils they (masculine or mixed group)elles they (feminine group)Claire nest pas la maison. ;bb[ Claire isnt at home. Shes at est au cinma. the cinema.Son pre est anglais, mais _b Her father is English but he travaille en France. works in France.

3.2 ce_(me), je_ (you)These words are used to add emphasis and after prepositions.

Ce_, je prfre le badminton Me, I prefer badminton to au tennis. tennis.Et je_, quest-ce que tu aimes And what sports do you comme sport? like?Ma sur et moi, nous aimons My sister and I like playing jouer au tennis au parc. tennis in the park.Tu as ta raquette avec toi? Do you have your racket with you?Je passe chez toi samedi matin. Ill come to your house on Saturday morning.

4 Possession4.1 Possessive adjectivesPossessive adjectives are words like my, your, his, her, its, our, their. They show who something belongs to. In French, the possessive adjective agrees with the noun that follows (the possession) and not with the owner. Be careful when using son, sa and ses.Sa mre can mean his mother, her mother or its mother, depending on the context.

singular plural

masculine feminine before a vowel (all forms)

my

your

his/her/its

our

your

their

montonson

notrevotreleur

matasa

notrevotreleur

montonson

notrevotreleur

mestessesnosvos

leurs

Son, sa, ses can mean his, her or its. The meaning is usually clear from the context.

Paul mange son djeuner. Paul is eating his lunch.Marie mange son djeuner. Marie is eating her lunch.Le chien mange son djeuner. The dog is eating its lunch.Before a feminine noun beginning with a vowel, you use mon, ton or son:Mon amie sappelle Nicole. My (girl)friend is called Nicole.O habite ton amie Anne? Where does your friend Anne

live?Son cole est ferme aujourdhui. His/Her school is closed today.
