BASIC GRAMMAR
In French, gender is taken into account when dealing with demonstrative adjectives. By the way, the demonstrative adjectives used for male gender are different from the ones used for female gender. Let's consider the following table :
| Male | Female | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ce / cet | cette | this / that |
| ces | ces | these / those |
Example
je connais ce
garçon
: I know this / that boy.
je connais cette
fille
: I know this / that girl.
je dois couper cet arbre
aujourd'hui
: I must cut this / that tree today.
je connais ces
garçons
: I know these / those boys.
je connais ces
filles
: I know these / those girl.
je dois couper ces arbres
aujourd'hui
: I must cut these / those trees today.
