Basics 2 is the third (assuming read left to right) skill in the French language tree. It consists of four lessons. While Basics 1 introduced singular subjects and objects, Basics 2 introduces plurals.
Tips and Notes[]
Plurals[]
Plurals in French are exactly like plurals in English; all you have to do is add an -s. This works for adjectives as well, as outlined below.
Adjectives[]
Adjectives agree in number and gender with the noun they modify.
- le garçon calme, les garçons calmes
- la femme calme, les femmes calmes
Ils or Elles?[]
Both of these words mean "they" in English, but they are very different:
- Ils is used when one or more of the group of people or objects are masculine. *Elles is used when all of the objects or people in the group are feminine.
