Notes

“Se” in front of a verb means that the verb is pronominal. You can find the lesson on pronominal verbs in the book beginners’ level 3.

“Ami(e)” means “friend.” “Petit(e) ami(e)” can be replaced by “petit copain” (m) or “petite copine” (f). “Copain” and “copine” mean friend too.

The words ending in “é”

For the vocabulary starting with “être,” and ending in “é”, add a silent “e” to have the feminine, and a silent “s” to both masculine and feminine to have the plural.

For example:
Je suis marié. (masculine)
Je suis mariée. (feminine)
Nous sommes mariés. (masculine plural)
Nous sommes mariées. (feminine plural)
