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.
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).
