Are the following sentences, which are in French, grammatically correct?
1. Les films sont merveilleux.
2. Les hommes sont gros.
3. Les pieces sont merveilleux.
4. Les poixxons sont frais.
5. Les murs sont epais.
6. Les garcons sont heureux.
They appear to be correct to me.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. If an accent mark is required and it is not there, it is NOT correct!
#3 Les pièces must have the accent grave and it is feminine = merveilleuses
#4 What is poixxons? Could you mean "les poissons = fish?" La poix is "pitch."
#5 An accent is required on épais. Actually, if you understand why there are 3 "e's" it easy to know when an accent is required.
e = uh
é = a (as in first letter of English alphabet)
è = eh
Consider a word with all 3 accent marks and the pronunciation = élève
#7 garçons (accent)
If you don't know how to make accent marks with the computer, you need to learn. There is a chart I can send you but I need to know:
1. do you have PC or a MAC
2. do you have Windows or not?

To determine if the sentences are grammatically correct in French, we can analyze each one individually:
1. "Les films sont merveilleux." (The movies are wonderful.) - This sentence is grammatically correct. The subject ("les films") agrees with the verb ("sont"), and the adjective ("merveilleux") is in agreement with the plural noun.
2. "Les hommes sont gros." (The men are big.) - This sentence is grammatically correct. The subject ("les hommes") agrees with the verb ("sont"), and the adjective ("gros") is in agreement with the plural noun.
3. "Les pieces sont merveilleux." (The pieces are wonderful.) - This sentence is incorrect. The adjective agreement is incorrect; "merveilleux" is a masculine singular adjective and doesn't agree with the feminine plural noun "pièces." The correct form should be "merveilleuses" to match the gender and number of the noun.
4. "Les poixxons sont frais." (The fishes are fresh.) - This sentence is incorrect. The spelling of the word "poixxons" is incorrect; it should be "poissons" to mean "fish." Besides this, the sentence is grammatically correct. The subject ("les poissons") agrees with the verb ("sont"), and the adjective ("frais") is in agreement with the plural noun.
5. "Les murs sont epais." (The walls are thick.) - This sentence is grammatically correct. The subject ("les murs") agrees with the verb ("sont"), and the adjective ("épais") is in agreement with the plural noun.
6. "Les garcons sont heureux." (The boys are happy.) - This sentence is grammatically correct. The subject ("les garçons") agrees with the verb ("sont"), and the adjective ("heureux") is in agreement with the plural noun.
Overall, sentences 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are grammatically correct, whereas sentence 3 has an incorrect adjective agreement. The spelling in sentence 4 is also incorrect, but the sentence structure is correct.
