Comment ça s’écrit? As well as introducing pronunciation of the letters of the alphabet, these letters can be used by pupils or teacher to spell out words and to test pupils on their understanding - with the board switched off, pupils listen and write words spelt out by the teacher (useful for practising spellings of recent vocabulary). With higher ability pupils, the teacher could intentionally make spelling mistakes which must be spotted by class.

Qu’est-ce que c’est? Here the words for glue, pencil case and rubber are added to the list.

Genders – un and une Read this sentence. What does it mean exactly? C’est un stylo. It means: It is a pen. Which of the words means ‘a’? The word ‘un’ means ‘a’. Now read this sentence. Which word means ‘a’ this time? C’est une règle. This time, the word ‘une’ means ‘a’.

Genders – un and une Why are there two words for ‘a’ in French? It is because in French, all nouns have a gender. They are either masculine or feminine. In the examples you saw, the word for pen (stylo) is masculine, so we put the word ‘un’ in front of it when we want to say ‘a pen’. The word for pencil case (trousse) is feminine, so we put the word ‘une’ in front of it when we want to say ‘a pencil case’.

If the word is masculine it will have the letters ‘nm’ next to it in the dictionary, and if it is feminine you will find the letters ‘nf’ next to it. Use a dictionary to find out whether the words below are masculine or feminine. What do they mean in English? maison garçon fille mère père arbre

Genders – le, la and l’ Sometimes, you will want to say ‘the pen’, rather than ‘a pen’. Again you must remember to check whether the word is masculine or feminine. If the word is masculine, you use the word ‘le’: E.g. the pen = le stylo If the word is feminine, you use the word ‘la’: E.g. the ruler = la règle

Genders – le, la and l’ lor-din-at-eur But this time it’s a little bit more complicated. If a word begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), then you can’t use le or la in front of it, as this makes it quite hard to say. Instead, you put l’ in front of it, whether it is masculine or feminine. E.g. L’ordinateur. When you say it, You run the two words together: lor-din-at-eur
