You made it. You found the courage to click on this video.
So now stay with me.
We will go through this more difficult parts together.
Let's start with the nouns.
There are a few things you need to remember about the nouns in French.
The nouns can be singular or plural.
Also, the nouns are feminine or masculine.
Yes. In French the nouns have a gender.
Of course there is exception to know if the nouns is feminine or masculine.
You can check the article front of it.
When the article are Le or Un the noun is masculine, when the articles are LA
or Une, the noun is feminine and to know if it's plural or singular.
You can check also the article when it's LES or DES.
That means the nouns is plural.
Of course there is few exceptions.
Because if they are not, it's not fun.
For example, the word internet.
Internet in French, this word doesn't have gender.
We say l'Internet.
Very sadly, no trick to know which article go in front of the noun to know it.
The only secret is to learn it, but at least we can separate the article into group the
definite article, articles définis or the indefinite article, articles indéfinis.
As you can see here, again, there is a lot of true friends words.
Les articles définis are le masculine, la feminine and
les, plural.
Les articles indéfinis are Un masculine Une feminine
Des plural.
For example, La fille de Pierre La fille de Pierre, the daughter of Pierre.
When you use the definite article, you know about what daughter you are talking about.
But if you say une fille de Pierre.
A daughter of Pierre.
You are using an indefinite article.
So that means you are talking about one of the daughter of Pierre.
You don't know exactly which one.
Let's see it with another sentence.
Les chiens sont mignons, the dogs are cute.
Here, you use a definite article.
So that means you know about what type of dog you are talking about, or maybe you are
actually seeing them.
But if you say des, chiens sont mignons.
So literally, dogs are cute.
Here you are just doing a generalization about you think dogs are cute in general.
Every dog. By the way, I also think that dogs are cute.
Don't forget to add an extra S at the end of the nouns when it's plural.
Now we are done for the article.
Let's check the pronouns.
Pronouns replace nouns.
And there are two types of pronouns in French the personal pronouns.
These pronouns represent a specific person or subject and there is the impersonal
pronouns. These pronouns do not refer to a specific person or subject.
Let's check some examples together.
Il pleut.
Il pleut. It's raining.
When you say it's raining, you are not saying that someone or something is raining.
You are just saying it's raining.
So it's impersonal.
Here Il is impersonal pronoun.
Let's see another example.
And this time you will have to tell me if it's a personal pronouns.
or Impersonal. Tu es belle.
Tu es belle.
You are beautiful.
Here the pronoun is to.
You please tell me it's personal or impersonal.
Yes, you are right.
It's personal.
This time when we say you are beautiful, we are referring to someone.
So it's a personal pronoun.
Here are the different pronouns you can find in the French language.
There is a pronounced Je Tu Il Elle Nous Vous Ils Elles
. There is also the possessive pronouns.
Mon ma ton ta son sa notre
votre leur.
And finally, there is the tonic pronouns moi toi lui elle
nous vous eux.
In each sentence, there will be a gap.
Instead of the pronouns.
Please try to fill the gap.
Of course, in the English translation, the reply appear.
Your job will be to remember.
What is this pronoun in French?
parle anglais.
parl anglais.
Yes, you are right, is je, je parle anglais repeat after me.
Je parle anglais.
Next one. Soeur est gentille.
In English is my sister is kind.
How do you say my in French?
Yes, you're right again, it's ma soeur est gentil.
The pronoun that we search here is Ma Ma soeur est gentille.
Repeat after me, ma soeur est gentille.
You did really well in this part.
See you at the next part of this grammar lesson.

time.
