Q Is there anything to watch out for when writing French?

A French uses the same alphabet as English and some words look the same in both languages though they are pronounced differently (six, football, restaurant, etc.).

But there are some differences to watch out for:

• some French words have accents over certain vowels, such as à, é, ô.

• sometimes you have to add a little mark (cedilla) under the letter c: ç. This makes the sound soft (like an ‘s’, not a ‘k’).

• adjectives are usually spelled in different ways depending on whether they are masculine or feminine: français (m) and française (f).

2 Add accents to make these words French.
