Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Silent final consonants -s, -t, -x and -d can be practised with words like ‘dans’, ‘mot’, ‘prix’ and ‘grand’.
- French statements become questions by raising tone of voice at the end.
- There is a space before a ? in French and also before a ! e.g. Salut !
Common misconception
Changing intonation doesn't affect meaning.
If you raise your voice at the end, you can turn a statement into a question.
