Lesson Details
Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [on] is a nasal sound, as in the word 'Non !'
- Practising nouns helps us remember the word and the gender.
- The verb 'avoir' means 'to have' in French. 'Tu as' means 'you have'.
- French yes/no questions don't have a word for 'do'. Intonation can change the statement 'you have' into do you have?'.
Common misconception
We have to translate the word 'do' into French to ask the question 'do you have?'
There is no word for 'do' in French. We use intonation to change the statement 'you have' into the question 'do you have?'
Keywords
[on] - pronounced [on] as in non !
