Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Nous and vous are the emphatic pronouns for us and you (plural/formal).
- Emphatic pronouns often follow prepositions, e.g. pour nous, avant vous.
- When a nasal vowel such as [an] is followed by a vowel, it is no longer a nasal sound but an oral vowel, e.g. ami.
- Extended listening and reading texts can be exploited to enrich our vocabulary and use of complex structures.
Common misconception
'Nous' always means 'we' in French.
'Nous' means 'we' when used as a subject pronoun. 'Nous' means 'us' when used as an emphatic pronoun.
