So what are Garfield and Odie saying?

They’re animals, silly, they don’t say anything!

• But like the differences between cats and dogs, French & English may have some similarities, but also many differences too.

• One difference is when to use what ARTICLES!

Page 3: So what are Garfield and Odie saying? Theyre animals, silly, they dont say anything! But like the differences between cats and dogs, French & English

WHAT ARE ARTICLES?

• Articles are used to clarify if a noun is specific or if a noun is not specific.

• They are used before the nouns or adjective. • There are 2 kinds of articles: • Definite articles - are used for specific nouns.In

English the definite article is “THE” . Ex: I see the dog.

• Indifinite articles are used to refer to a noun that is not something or someone specific such as a pen, an apple, a bus.

• " A“,"An“ or “Some” is used.Ex. I see a dog. I see some dogs.

KNOW THIS! NOUNS!• Nouns in English are NOT designated by

gender! You just say the man or the car.• Nouns in French are either masculine or

feminine. Male persons are almost always masculine. Female persons are almost always feminine. Exceptions:

1. Une personne (a person) is always feminine (even when it refers to a man)

2. Un professeur is always masculine (even when it refers to a woman)

NOUNS for ANIMALS, OBJECTS & THINGS:

• In French, everything has a gender, unlike English!

Masculine words: Un bureau-desk

Un lit-bed

Feminine words: Une chaise-chair

Une porte-door

Page 6: So what are Garfield and Odie saying? Theyre animals, silly, they dont say anything! But like the differences between cats and dogs, French & English

FRENCH ARTICLESThere are INDEFINITE ARTICLES (A, An,

Some) ………..(and definite articles…t.b.a!)

HERE ARE THE INDEFINITE ARTICLES!

UN—a, an (used for masculine words)

UNE- a, an (used for feminine words)

DES- some (used for all plural words)

Page 7: So what are Garfield and Odie saying? Theyre animals, silly, they dont say anything! But like the differences between cats and dogs, French & English

UN(Masc)

A or An:

UNE(fem)

A or An:

DES(Plural

for Fem & Masc)

Some:

Un livre violet

Une voiture violette

Des livres violets

Des voitures violettes

Page 8: So what are Garfield and Odie saying? Theyre animals, silly, they dont say anything! But like the differences between cats and dogs, French & English

HOWEVER, in the negative….

AFTER THE WORD “PAS”…CHOOSE “DE” or “D” for vowels.

Ex. J’ai un livre. Je n’ai pas de livre!

Ex. Il y a un vélo. Il n’y a pas de vélo.

Ex. J’ai des amis. Je n’ai pas d’amis!

Page 9: So what are Garfield and Odie saying? Theyre animals, silly, they dont say anything! But like the differences between cats and dogs, French & English

• ENCORE DE “PAS DE”• J’ai des amis en France. Je n’ai pas d’amis ici. • • J’ai des haricots ici, mais je n’ai pas d’haricots verts.

• J’ai un livre, mais je n’ai pas de stylos!

AFTER PAS USE De or D’!!!

YOU NEVER SAY: “ PAS +UN +UNE+DES” (Except with ÊTRE) to see examples…..

Page 10: So what are Garfield and Odie saying? Theyre animals, silly, they dont say anything! But like the differences between cats and dogs, French & English

ONE EXEPTION THOUGH:

• After any form of Être (suis, est, es, sommes, êtes, sont) the DE after PAS does not work!!! KEEP THE UN, UNE or DES! (a, an, some)

Ex. Paul est un voisin. Paul n’est pas un voisin.

Ex. Marie est une mère. Marie n’est pas une mère.

Ex. Ce sont des voitures. Ce ne sont pas des voitures.
