Les mots commençant par une voyelle: féminins ou masculins?

Today, this post will be short… it is a long weekend and we have perfect weather: sunny wall-to-wall and hot!… Therefore I am planning to play outside as much as I can because, according to Environment Canada, August will be a copycat of July (cool and rainy)!…

I still have not heard from Nicholas… Hopefully he will get the results of his oral test some time next week!… Yesterday, I started crash training with someone who will have to take the three SLE tests in the next 10 days… I think emotions will be at their peak!

Seema is in charge of organizing our Club français‘s next outing, which should take place August 14… it is never easy to coordinate such activities around everyone’s schedule…

I found a test on genders this morning… I know, for a fact, how difficult it might be sometimes for people to decide between feminine and masculine when they come across nouns starting with a vowel… often they end up having to check in the dictionary… I gave it a try and I got 50/50… I may have hesitated on one, yet I made the right choice… once you find a mistake, do not forget to agree anything that goes with this noun!

People around here are thrilled with this weekend weather forecast!

It will be perfect for all those outdoors activities that have been on hold for so many weeks…

Bonne chance!

    Bonjour Lyne,

    J’ai eu 45/50. J’ai longtemps hésité à corriger “amiante”, puis je ne l’ai pas fait , à tort. Par contre j’ai mis “intervalle” au féminin, à tort aussi !!

    Profite bien du beau temps, ici il fait beau aussi, mais ça doit se rafraîchir demain…

      Bonsoir Isabelle,

      Ce n’est pas toujours évident les mots commençant par une voyelle… mais tu t’en es bien tirée! ;-)

      J’ai vraiment profité de ma journée : c’était super!!! C’était comme la «vraie» première journée d’été… mais, demain, ça se gâtera : de la pluie et des orages… cependant, lundi sera une belle journée!

      À la prochaine!
