3.02 Le Pluriel

Page 16: Welcome to French Live Lessons! 3.01 & 3.02. Subject Pronouns! What do we know about Pronouns? How do we use them in English?

Le PlurielMost 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 → chaisesfille → filles copain → copains

Page 17: Welcome to French Live Lessons! 3.01 & 3.02. Subject Pronouns! What do we know about Pronouns? How do we use them in English?

Le PlurielSince 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 copains

Page 18: Welcome to French Live Lessons! 3.01 & 3.02. Subject Pronouns! What do we know about Pronouns? How do we use them in English?

Different Plural FormsLook 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

Page 19: Welcome to French Live Lessons! 3.01 & 3.02. Subject Pronouns! What do we know about Pronouns? How do we use them in English?

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.
