The demonstrative adjective...you're all "cette!"

The "demonstrative adjective" is "this/that" in English. In French, the "demonstrative adjective is "ce". Since French has that "masculin" et "feminine" business "ce" changes depending on what it's describing.

This dog is cute.--> Ce chien est mignon. (Masculin) 

This giraffe is cuter. -->Cette giraffe est plus mignonne. (Feminine)

The "demonstrative adjective" works like "le". This table will help you with your activities:


M. Singulier
F. Singulier
M/F Pluriel

ces
**cet is used when you have a masculine word that begins with a vowel or a silent "h"

Do the following activities to familiarise yourselves with how the "demonstrative adjective" works.









After you do the activities you must submit the following sentences to Mr. Francey to be graded. Write them on a lined sheet of paper. Each sentence is worth 2 marks. 1 mark for the correct demonstrative adjective and one mark for the rest of the sentence. Don't forget punctuation!

This cat is a fat cat.

I want to eat this pizza.
