Lesson Details
Key learning points
- To make masculine nouns ending -eu/eau plural, add -x and change nouns ending -al/ail to -aux.
- To make most adjectives plural, add -s, which makes no difference to pronunciation, as 's' is a Silent Final Consonant.
- Masculine plural adjectives ending -eux don’t change, adjectives ending -al change to aux in the masculine form.
- The feminine versions of -euse adjectives are regular, just add -s, which is silent.
- Use grammatical context clues, familiar vocabulary and cognates to read longer French texts, including articles.
Common misconception
Add -s to all adjectives in the plural form.
Most adjectives do need an 's' in the plural form, but there are exceptions. Masculine adjectives ending -eux don't change at all and those ending -al change to -aux in the plural form. The feminine plural versions of these adjectives are regular.
