3.02 Le
PlurielSlide16
Le Pluriel
Most of the time, just like English, you can add an “S” to the end of a noun to make it plural.
But…do you pronounce the “
S
”?
Or is it a silent “
S”?Ex: stylo → stylos livre
→ livres crayon → crayons chaise → chaises fille → filles
copain → copains Slide17
Le Pluriel
Since the “S” is silent, you have to listen or look at the article to know whether it’s talking about 1 or more than 1 item.
Ex
:
le
stylo
→ les stylos un
livre → des livres l’affiche →
les affiches une chaise → des chaises la
fille → les filles un copain →
des
copainsSlide18
Different Plural Forms
Look at these irregular endings:“-eau" , you add "x“ ex:
le
gâteau
=
les gâteaux “-al“ , you change the "al" to "
aux“ ex: l'hôpital = les hôpitaux Nouns that end in "s" do not change ex: le mois
= les mois French has many nouns that are made up of more than one word, such as, "la salle de classe." Look at how their plural is formed.la
salle de classe = les salles de classe la feuille de papier = les feuilles de
papier Slide19
Le PlurielWhen you are identifying things, use "
ce sont" before plural nouns.C'est un crayon. = Ce
sont
des crayons.
C'est
la cassette de Laurie. = Ce sont les cassettes de Laurie.Slide20
