Section One - Part D Deux ou plus = pluriel In addition to having to make adjectives and nouns "agree" (be the same form as) each other in gender (masculine/feminine), adjectives in French must also indicate the same number (singular/plural) as the nouns they describe. View the presentation to see how you make adjectives plural.   Au travail! Write this exercise in your notebook. The following sentences are given in the singular. Make them plural. Click on each one to see if you are correct. Le garçon est grand. Les garçons sont grands. La jeune femme est jolie. Les jeunes femmes sont jolies. L'homme est intelligent. Les hommes sont intelligents. Le garçon est faible. Les garçons sont faibles. L'amie est blonde. Les amies sont blondes. L'ami est timide. Les amis sont timides. Je suis intelligente. Nous sommes intelligentes. La femme est brune. Les femmes sont brunes.   Practice Use this practice session to become familiar with the concepts of this lesson module. You see in French when one part of a sentence is plural, the whole sentence may be affected.

The political situation in Ivory Coast Until 1999, Ivory Coast was the world's largest cocoa producer and the model of political and social stability in Africa. President Félix Houphouet-Boigny (who built the Yamassoukro Basilica you may remember from Unit 1), maintained good relations with the West from the time he took office - when the country gained its independence from France - to when he died in December 1993. The falling world market prices for Ivory Coast's primary export crops of cocoa and coffee put economic pressure on the government. On December 24, 1999, it experienced its first coup d'état, and then another one on January 7, 2001, when heavy fighting broke out between rebels and the government troops. 2005 has been relatively quiet, but volatile. About 10,000 UN and French peacekeepers are patrolling the buffer zone between the rebel-run north and the government-held south to try to keep the country at peace.   Va à 1e.
