FRENCH GRAMMAR REFERENCE
French grammar for English speakers
French uses gender, agreement and verb forms, but this page should support—not outrun—the progressive lessons.
Articles
Common articles include un, une, le, la and les. Their use depends on gender and number.
Adjective agreement
Many adjectives change for gender and number; some also change position.
Subject pronouns
French normally states the subject: je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles.
Verb forms
Verbs change with the subject and time. Use only forms introduced by the curriculum.
Elision and liaison
French may drop a vowel before another vowel and may link a final consonant in speech.
Use only the sections already introduced by your current module.
