Show transcript
A cognate is a word that looks and sounds the same, or similar, in English and French. 'Ils ont' and 'elles ont' are the 3rd person plural of the verb 'avoir', 'to have, having'. 'Ils ont' and 'elles ont' have a liasion; the -s in 'ils' and 'elles' is pronounced as 'z' as it is followed by a vowel. The 's' in 'ils ont' and 'elles ont' ('z') is pronounced differently to the 's' in 'ils sont' and 'elles sont' ('s'). Reading a longer passage can help practise and consolidate previously learnt and newly acquired vocabulary and grammar.
