Points en plus
Extra points
1. Boy or girl?
Your pen pal may not know from your first name if you are a girl or a boy. So, it’s a good idea
to tell them.
2. J’ai 10 ans
Did you notice that, to say how old we are in French, we say ‘J’ai 10 ans’? This literally means
‘I have 10 years’!
3. Le, la, l’, les
In English we say:
I like football.
I like ice-cream.
I like sweets.
I like school.

Le means ‘the’ before a masculine word such as:
le fromage
the cheese
le brocoli
the broccoli
le jus d’orange the orange juice
La means ‘the’ before a feminine word such as:
la glace
la pomme
la purée
the ice-cream
the apple
the mashed potatoes
l’école
l’équitation
l’athléthisme
the school
the horse riding
the athletics
les pommes
les chips
les bonbons
the apples
the crisps
the sweets
If a word begins with a vowel (a e i o u),
you must use l’ instead of le and la. This makes
pronunciation easier. So:
Les means ‘the’ before a word in the plural
such as:
