Show transcript
There are 4 ways to turn a masculine noun into a feminine noun: add an e, change article, -n to -nne, -eur to -rice. If a masculine noun ends in -e, there's no change for feminine; if it ends in -s or -x, there's no change for plural. We usually make nouns plural by adding -s. Nouns ending in -eu, -(e)au, -al, or -ail make their plurals with -x. [ien] sounds like 'bien', [eu/oeu] sounds like 'coeur', [eu] sounds like 'deux' and [au] sounds like 'gauche'.
