👋🏽 I'm Saf. I teach CAPE French at Arc School: live classes each week, lesson resources, exam practice and personalised coaching for the May–June 2027 exams. In this lesson, find the mistakes yourself before you read my fixes. Then write your own answer. Just don't copy my sentences. Say what you think.
Bonjour mes amis 👋🏽
Your ideas can be right and your French can still let you down. One place to check is the small words in front of a noun: an article left out, the wrong gender, des where French wants de.
That's what we'll fix today. By the end of this lesson you will be able to:
keep the article where French needs it;
get the gender and the number right, even when l' or les hides the gender;
use de after a quantity and after a negative, and know when not to;
check every noun in your own answer and fix it without changing what you mean.
In the full lesson I give you my answer, then the same answer with nine mistakes for you to find, and I show you how I check every noun.
