1 Unfortunately, every noun in French is either masculine or feminine! Un (a) and le (the) are the masculine articles,
Une (a) and la (the) are the feminine. Des (some) and les (the) are the plural forms. Although spelling can
sometimes help decide whether a noun is masculine or feminine, you really just have to learn them as you go along.
Sorry.
2 J'ai = I have. Tu as = You have. This is the verb avoir (to have). We'll be seeing this verb a lot !
3 Je suis = I am. Tu es = you are. This is the verb être (to be). We'll be seeing this one lots too !
Bonjour ! Bonne nuit !
Saying goodnight or hello to familiar objects and people with your
child can be a soothing activity to transition into or from sleep. It can
also be a great language activity for little ones !
If your child is already familiar with this « game », try to translate the
words you normally use into French. If not, take a look around your
child's bedroom and see what kind of things you could say
goodnight to en français ! It's a great exercise to get parents
remembering some French vocabulary (and using that dictionary if all else fails!).
Here are a few basic words to get you started :
La maison
the house
La porte
the door
La fenêtre
the window
Le lit
the bed
La chaise
the chair
La chambre
the bedroom
Les livres (le livre)
the books
Les jouets
the toys
