I can use negative structures to enhance my discussion on the topic of healthy living.
Key learning points
- Nasal vowel sounds occur when one or more vowels precede a nasal consonant, e.g. an, un, ain, on, en.
- When a nasal sound such as [an] is followed by a vowel, it is no longer a nasal sound, e.g. 'aucune'.
- 'Ne ... aucun' is a negative structure meaning 'not any' or 'no' before a singular noun.
- 'Aucun/aucune' must agree in gender with the noun it refers to.
Words to know
- ne ... aucun/e
- no, not one, not any
Common mistakes
Use 'ne ... pas' to mean 'no, not one, not any'.
The structure 'ne ... pas' is used to negative a verb. To say that there was 'no, not one, not any' of a noun, use the structure 'ne ... aucun/aucune', e.g. 'il n'y a aucun fruit ici'.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Task B5 suggests students speak for a minute on the topic of health. Teachers might wish to give more or less time to their classes as appropriate and amend the instruction on the slide.
