Lesson outcome

I can use plural forms of 'être' and 'avoir' and articles to talk about jobs.

Show transcript
Omit indefinite articles with être + profession but include articles when describing jobs in general or with adjectives. être means 'to be, being', nous sommes means 'we are', vous êtes means 'you are' and ils/elles sont means 'they are'. avoir means 'to have, having', nous avons means 'we have', vous avez means 'you have' and ils/elles ont is 'they have'. Pronounce the 's' at the end of 'ils' when it is followed by a vowel; it sounds like a 'z'.
