# D'accord! 1 2024 ## Les fêtes ### Unité 6 #### Leçon 6A ##### Communicative Goal Refer to specific items nearby ##### Structures ###### 6A.1 Demonstrative adjectives **Point de départ** To identify or point out a noun with the French equivalent of *this/these* or *that/those*, use a demonstrative adjective before the noun. In French, the form of the demonstrative adjective depends on the gender and number of the noun that it goes with. * **Demonstrative adjectives** | Singular | Before Conosonant | Before vowel sound | Plural | |---|---|---|---| | Masculine | *ce café* | *cet élève* | *ces cafés, ces élèves* | | Feminine | *cette surprise* | *cette amie* | *ces surprises, ces amies* | * *Ce copain organise une fête.* _That friend is planning a party._ * *Cet hôtel est trop loin du centre-ville.* _That hotel is too far from downtown._ * *Cette glace est excellente.* _This ice cream is excellent._ * *Je préfère ces cadeaux.* _I prefer those gifts_. * **Note that the forms of *ce* can refer to a noun that is near (this/these) or far (that/those). The meaning will usually be clear from context.** * *Ce dessert est délicieux.* _This dessert is delicious._ * *Cet oiseau est joli.* _That bird is pretty._ * *Ils vont aimer cette surprise.* _They're going to like this surprise._ * *Ces glaçons sont pour la limonade.* _Those ice cubes are for the lemon soda._ * **To make it especially clear that you're referring to something near versus something far, add *-ci* or *-là*, respectively, to the noun following the demonstrative adjective.** * *J'aime bien cette robe-ci.* _I like this dress._ * *Je n'aime pas ces chaussures-là.* _I don't like those shoes._ * *ces biscuits-ci* _these cookies (here)_ * *ces fêtes-là* _those parties (there)_ * **Use *-ci* and *-là* in the same sentence to contrast similar items.** * *On prend cette glace-ci, pas cette glace-là.* _We'll have this ice cream, not that ice cream._ * *Tu achètes ce fromage-ci ou ce fromage-là?* _Are you buying this cheese or that cheese?_ * *J'aime ce cadeau-ci mais je préfère ce cadeau-là.* _I like this gift, but I prefer that gift._ ##### Essayez!
