Show transcript
The consonants d, s, t and x are often silent at the end of a word. We call this SFC, Silent Final Consonant. The vowel 'e' is often silent at the end of a word. This is SFe, Silent Final ‘e’. The final consonant is pronounced. Many verbs that end in -ate in English have in fact come from French verbs ending in -er: 'éliminer' - 'eliminate'. Every noun has a gender in French. 'Il' and 'elle' can mean 'it', and 'ils' and 'elles' mean 'they' (people and things). The verb 'faire' is an irregular verb meaning 'to do, make'.
