Ce sont de bons gâteaux
We've seen that some adjectives go before the word that they describe.
C'est un bon livre.
It is a good book.
We've also seen that you need to put des before plural nouns!
J'achète des livres.
I buy books.
And if both these happen together? Use de before the adjective instead of des!
Je porte de nouvelles chaussures.
I am wearing new shoes.
Je suis... tout seul...
The word tout changes depending on the gender and number of what you're describing!
Cette table est toute petite.
This table is very small.
Elles sont toutes contentes.
They are so happy.
It doesn't take an ‑s for masculine plural nouns though!
Ils sont tout tristes.
They are very sad.
Finally, the phrase tout seul means all alone or by oneself!
Il est tout seul.
He is by himself.
Achète‑les !
When giving commands like Buy them! or Call her!, the French pronouns le, la, and les are tied to the verb with a hyphen!
Prends‑le !
Take it!
Appelle‑la !
Call her!
Achète‑les !
Buy them!
But if you're telling someone not to do something, le, la, and les come before the verb.
Ne le prends pas !
Don't take it!
Ne l'appelle pas !
Don't call her!
Ne les achète pas !
Don't buy them!
Ne le mets pas ici !
Don't put it here!
