Did you know?

In French, the phrase "Ce sont des livres" translates to "These are books" in English. The interesting thing is that in this phrase, the word "sont" is used which means "are" in English. However, the word "livres" is in the plural form. In French, nouns and adjectives must agree in gender and number with the subject. So if we were to change this phrase to singular, it would be "C'est un livre" which means "This is a book". Similarly, in the phrase "Les étudiantes sont dans la classe", which translates to "The female students are in the class", we can see that "étudiantes" is in the plural form. To make it singular, we would say "L'étudiante est dans la classe" which means "The female student is in the class". It's fascinating how small changes like these can alter the meaning and form of sentences in different languages!
