1. Objective

By the end, you will recognise and use “-é, -er or -ez?” correctly.

2. Discover

Read slowly: bonjour, merci, français, Nantes. Which sound or spelling feature recurs?

3. Understand

The focus is prononciation française. Read the whole word, then notice spelling and sound: in French, the same letter is not always pronounced the same way in every context.
