Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Emphatic pronouns are often used after prepositions.
- Emphatic pronouns include moi (me) and toi (you). They apply only to people, not things.
- sans (without), pour (for), avant (before) and chez (at the house/place of) are all followed by emphatic pronouns.
- [an] sounds like 'enfant' and [oi] sounds like 'voir'.
Common misconception
The letter combinations [en] and [an] are pronounced differently in French.
The letter combinations [en] and [an] make the same sound in French, as can be heard in the word 'enfant'.
