Important Grammar Note!

 

You may have come across the words 'bon', 'bien', 'mauvais' and 'mal'. But what's the difference?

 

It's quite simple, actually. Whilst 'bon' means 'good', 'bien' means 'well', and whilst 'mauvais' means 'bad', 'mal' means 'badly' or 'wrong'.

 

Learn the difference, and you'll be an adjective pro in no time!

Important Grammar Note!

 

When you use an adjective next to a vowel or 'h', you must change the adjective. This makes it easier to pronounce.

 

Examples:

'Mon nouvel animal'='My new animal'

'Un bel homme'='A handsome/beautiful man'

'Un vieil éléphant'='An old elephant'
