6. FRENCH ACCENTS There are four French accents for vowels and one accent for a consonant. For specific information on what the accents do to change the pronunciation of the letters they modify, please see the appropriate letter pages. The accent aigu ´ (acute accent) can only be on an E . At the beginning of a word, it often indicates that an S used to follow that vowel, e.g., étudiant (student). The accent grave ` (grave accent) can be found on an A , E , or U . On the A and U, it usually serves to distinguish between words that would otherwise be homographs ; e.g., ou (or) vs où (where). The accent circonflexe ˆ (circumflex) can be on an A , E , I , O , or U . The circumflex usually indicates that an S used to follow that vowel, e.g., forêt (forest). It also serves to distinguish between homographs; e.g., du ( contraction 11 of de + le ) vs dû ( past participle 12 of devoir ). The accent tréma ¨ (dieresis or umlaut) can be on an E , I , or U . It is used when two vowels are next to each other and both must be pronounced, e.g., naïve, Saül. The cédille ¸ (cedilla) is found only on the letter C . It changes a hard C sound (like K) into a soft C sound (like S), e.g., garçon. The cedilla is never placed in front of E or I, because C always sounds like an S in front of these vowels. It is essential to put accents in their proper places - an incorrect or missing accent is a spelling mistake just as an incorrect or missing letter would be. The only exception to this is capital letters, which are often left unaccented. You may not realize it, but French accents have a purpose. While some accents just signify that an S used to follow that vowel in Old French (e.g., étudiant used to be spelled estudiant ), most French accents indicate the correct pronunciation of the letter they modify. In addition, there are dozens of French word pairs which are spelled (though not always pronounced) the same other than accents. To avoid confusion, you should always distinguish between these words by using the correct accents.* a - third person singular of avoir 1 (to have) à 2 - ( preposition 3 ) to, at, in

7. In French there are the 26 letters of the alfabet. Many have “accessories” : Accents are in the AEIOU (è, é, etc...) or with the cedilla (ç). When you are spelling your name , such as in a phone call, you need to know how to pronounce it en french: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Most of the time, do not pronounce final d, s, t or x in French words. As an example, red letters are not pronounced in the following words: un rebon d (a bounce) françai s (French) un sau t (a jump) heureu x (happy)

8. Escucharás "on" en los siguientes ejemplos. Francés Español une maison una casa un garçon un chico comprendre (*) entender un combat (*) una lucha ¡Ojo!

Francés Español la tour Eiffel la torre Eiffel mourir morir un mouvement un movimiento vous Usted/Ustedes Escucharás " oi" en los siguientes ejemplos Francés Español une fois una vez un toit un techo un poisson un pez croire creer

76. Because the tu / vous distinction doesn't exist in English, beginning French students often have trouble with it. Some people follow the guideline of using whatever the other person uses with them. This can be misleading: someone in authority may use tu with you, but that certainly doesn't mean that you can respond in kind. You can try asking On peut se tutoyer ? 2 , but when in doubt, I tend to use vous . I'd rather show someone too much respect than not enough! *There are even verbs to indicate which pronoun you're using: tutoyer 3 = to use tu vouvoyer 4 = to use vous
