Friends
Vous
In English we say
you
, no matter whether we're talking to one person or one hundred. But in French,
tu
is specifically for one person!
For two or more, use
vous
, and make sure the
verb
ends in
‑ez
. You can think of
vous
as the French
y'all
!
vous mang
ez
you all eat
vous parl
ez
you all speak

Mon amie !
You've seen that you use
ma
,
ta
, and
sa
before
feminine
nouns
.
ma
sœur
my sister
But if the noun starts with a
vowel
, you'll need to use
mon
,
ton
, or
son
instead.
mon a
mie
my friend
Notre and votre
Remember that in French you say
mon frère
but
mes
frère
s
. The same thing happens with
notre
and
votre
.
