GrammarflashbackA noun is a word used to name a person, an animal, a place or a thing.All French nouns are either masculine or feminine (this is called their gender). You need to know a noun’s gender for dealing with: little words like ‘the’ and ‘a’ (called determiners) adjectives names of some jobs.

the other two are nouns

Q What can I do to help myself learn French?

A Start by finding your way round the Clic! 1 Students’ Book. There are useful reference sections where you can look things up for yourself.

1a HerearethetitlesofreferencesectionsinClic! 1Students’Book. Matchthemupwithdefinitionsa–e.

d Expressions utiles Grammaire Glossaire

Vocabulaire Verb tables

a A list in French–English and English–French which gives most of the words used in the book.

b A list of important words and phrases used in one unit.c A summary of the basic rules of French and how the language fits

together.d Useful lists such as days of the week, months and numbers.e Patterns of some common verbs.

1b Howquicklycanyounotethepagenumbersthosereferencesectionsstarton?Raceagainstapartner.

Q Is there anything to watch out for when writing French?

A French uses the same alphabet as English and some words look the same in both languages though they are pronounced differently (six, football, restaurant, etc.).

But there are some differences to watch out for: • some French words have accents over certain vowels, such as

à, é, ô. • sometimes you have to add a little mark (cedilla) under the letter c: ç.

This makes the sound soft (like an ‘s’, not a ‘k’). • you often have to add a determiner before a noun where you would

leave it out in English: J’adore le football = I love football. • adjectives are usually spelled in different ways depending on whether

they are masculine or feminine: français (m) and française (f).
