Show transcript
The SSCs [é], [er], [et] and [ez] are spelt differently but they make the exact same sound, as in the word: répéter. There are two different ways to say 'you' in French. 'Tu' is singular (one person) and 'vous' is plural (2+ people). Use 'tu' when talking to one young person or to an adult you know well. Use 'vous' when talking to one adult you do not know well. 'Vous' can be both plural or formal. To make a noun plural in French, often add an -s. Nouns ending in -au or -eu add -x. Nouns ending in -al change to -aux.
