Lesson outcome

I can use 'il/elle' and 'ils/elles' with a range of -er verbs to say what others do.

Show transcript
The sound symbol correspondence [a] is very common in French and sounds like the 'a' in 'animal'. To say 'he/she' + -er verb in French, the verb ending is -e, which is an SFe and so is silent. To say 'they' + -er verb, the ending is -ent which is also silent. We call this the third person plural verb form. 'Ils' means 'they' when referring to a group of boys or a mixed gender group. 'Elles' mean 'they' when referring to a group of girls. The final 's' of 'ils/elles' is a SFC.
