Lesson Details
Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [eu] sounds like the ‘eu’ in ‘deux’ (two).
- The silent final consonant -x is not pronounced, as in the adjective ‘heureux’.
- Adjectives ending in -eux change to -euse in the feminine form.
Common misconception
An adjective agrees with the person who is talking, not the person being described. For example, if a boy says to a girl 'you are happy', 'happy' will be in the masculine form.
