Home, family and everyday life

What holds these lists together

Everything you say about yourself and the place you live: who is in the family, how you feel, what you wear, what breaks in the flat and who comes to mend it. Together these lists are the best practice there is for French gender, because they are full of everyday nouns whose article cannot be guessed. English offers no help at all, having no grammatical gender, so each noun is learned with its article: la chaise, le lit, la clé. And gender decides more than the article. Sa chambre is his room or her room alike, because sa agrees with chambre, not with the person who sleeps in it.

For example: le plancher (the wooden floor), le nom (the surname), la maison (the house), les vêtements (the clothes), le corps (the body), heureux (happy)

Spread across the levels

The category runs across the levels — it is an area, not a difficulty. If you practise it, you can also choose a level at the top of the practice page and then get only the part that sits there.
