பாட குறிப்புகள்
Shops and shopping
- Un magasin is a shop/store, une boutique a shop and un marché a market. Faire les courses often describes routine food/household shopping; faire du shopping is a broader shopping/browsing phrase, and faire du lèche-vitrines means window-shopping. Context matters rather than one English translation covering every use.
- En solde means at a reduced price in this shop context, while à vendre is for sale and épuisé is sold out. Do not equate a price reduction with free, necessary or good value for every person. The lesson teaches language, not a request to shop or a report of actual offers.
Shopping phrases in context
Clothes
- Learn garments with gender and number: un pull, un jean, une robe, une jupe, une chemise, un T-shirt, un manteau, des chaussures and des baskets. Un jean can translate a pair of jeans; the plural of manteau is manteaux. Grammatical gender does not prescribe who can wear a garment.
- La taille means clothing size in this context and la pointure shoe size; taille also has other meanings such as height or waist elsewhere. Essayer means try, or try on when the object is clothing: je voudrais l’essayer. L’ comes before the infinitive; sizing vocabulary alone does not convert between systems.
Garments, size and trying on
Prices and money
- Ça coûte combien ? asks the price. C’est trop cher means too expensive for the stated judgement and bon marché means inexpensive. Une réduction is a discount in this context; je paie par carte/en espèces states card/cash payment, and rendre la monnaie means give change. Monnaie also has currency/coin meanings outside that phrase.
- Read exact amounts and units, including French decimal commas such as 24,50 €. Fictional examples are not current prices or exchange rates and do not establish what payment a real service accepts. Price, payment method and change are separate details; do not infer a purchase or availability from a vocabulary list alone.
Separate price, payment and change
Demonstrative adjectives
- The demonstrative determiners, traditionally called demonstrative adjectives, are ce/cet for masculine singular, cette for feminine singular and ces for plural of either gender. Ce pull/ce manteau begin with consonant sounds; cet anorak uses the masculine vowel-sound form. A feminine vowel-initial noun still takes cette: cette écharpe. Mute and aspirated h also affect which masculine form is used.
- Context can translate these as this/that or these/those. They introduce a noun and differ from celui-là/celle-là, pronouns standing for a previously named item. Ces is not the possessive ses, and a form’s grammatical gender follows the noun rather than the speaker or wearer.
Demonstratives follow the noun phrase
Comparing
- Compare with plus… que, moins… que and aussi… que: ce pull est moins cher que celui-là, cette robe est moins chère que celle-là. Cher/chère and celui/celle match the relevant item. A comparison needs a clear referent rather than changing the item without explanation.
- Superlatives include a matching article and adjective: la robe la moins chère and les manteaux les plus chers. Bon normally uses meilleur for better; mieux is an adverb for better, so one substitution does not fit every sentence. These examples teach the named constructions rather than every irregular comparison.
Comparison and a clear referent
Services
- Service phrases include à la poste, un timbre; à la banque, retirer de l’argent; and au bureau des objets trouvés, j’ai perdu mon sac. Perdu uses avoir in j’ai perdu, whereas je suis perdu/perdue means I am lost and requires appropriate speaker agreement, a different message.
- Describe a lost object with a matched adjective: mon sac est noir and ma veste est noire. This can be an invented language scenario with no private bank, account or identification information. Do not infer that using a service word guarantees a service is open or provides a particular remedy.
Service language without private details
Polite requests
- Je voudrais essayer ce pull, s’il vous plaît and Pourriez-vous m’aider ? make polite conditional requests. Avez-vous cette taille ? asks for availability. Voudrais and pourriez are not past-tense claims that a purchase or help has already occurred.
- In a dialogue, give clear speaker turns, match pronouns to the item and respond coherently to the price or request. Accepting, declining, asking another question or requesting a different size can all complete the exchange. No actual purchase or personal spending disclosure is required.
A polite shop exchange
Money matters
- L’argent de poche means pocket money or allowance, économiser save and dépenser spend. Gagner can mean earn or win depending on context. A fictional speaker may say je reçois dix euros et je préfère économiser cinq euros; this is not a universal description of learners’ circumstances.
- Understand the reason or decision actually given in the text instead of assuming every person receives an allowance or should spend/save in the same way. Use invented amounts for writing if preferred, and keep the time frame and message consistent. The task asks about language rather than household finances.
Read an imagined money choice
Original fictional price reading
- Ce pull coûtait 30 €. Aujourd’hui, il coûte 24 €. Je paie 30 € en espèces. Coûtait gives the earlier price, coûte the current one and en espèces the payment method. Under these simple invented details the price is 6 euros lower and the change is 6 euros.
- The message does not state a real shop, actual offer, payment policy or exchange rate. Distinguish a price from the amount handed over and read the time marker before comparing values. An imagined purchase or a decision to decline is equally suitable in open dialogue practice.
