Hi everyone! 🌟


Hi everyone,
In today's lesson, we will learn how to use the [[Language/French/Grammar/Feminine-Form|feminine form in French]]. French feminine nouns are generally formed by adding '-e' at the masculine form, doubling the final consonant of the masculine word and adding 'e', changing the ending '-er' by '-ère', changing the ending '-eur' by '-euse', changing the ending '-teur' by '-trice', or using different words for masculine and feminine. However, there are exceptions, such as masculine nouns ending with '-e' that do not change, some nouns ending in '-e' that become '-esse', and some nouns ending in 'f', 'p', or 'x' that make the final consonant in '-ve' or '-se'.

However, there are exceptions, such as masculine nouns ending with '-e' that do not change, some nouns ending in '-e' that become '-esse', and some nouns ending in 'f', 'p', or 'x' that make the final consonant in '-ve' or '-se'.
