Key learning points
- Silent final consonants can be practised by reading familiar and unfamiliar words aloud.
- 'Je suis' means 'I am'; 'elle, il est' means 'she, he is'; the -s and -t are silent final consonants.
- Adjectives often add -e to describe a girl or woman.
Words to know
- SFC (Silent Final Consonant)
- silent letter (d, s, t, x) at the end of a word
- être
- French verb meaning 'to be, being'
- je suis
- French verb meaning 'I am'
- elle est, il est
- French verb meaning 'she is, he is'
- Adjective agreement
- a change in adjective ending, for example, adding -e to describe a girl or woman
Common mistakes
French adjectives never change form.
French adjectives do change; this is called adjective agreement. One change is to match the gender of the person described.
For parents, carers and teachers
