"I am a boy and you are a girl."

Translation: Je suis un garçon et tu es une fille.

[Emma61852]

Isn't une masculine and un feminine? Or is it the other way around?

[IsmaFV]

Hey! Actually "un" is used for masculine and "une" for femenine.

[orhan....]

That's is exactly true

[LayneNotLane]

Yup!

[Lauren664129]

Other way. Feminine words have an e on the end

[Sitesurf]

This is true for adjectives, not for nouns.

[Malou626389]

Other way round

[victor32653]

Other way around

[PaliSarkar]

I wrote Je suis un garcon et tu es une felli. Still it is shown to be a wrong answer. Please explain

[Sitesurf]

"Felli" is not a French word.

Spelling: fille

Pronunciation: fiy

[julieanne547738]

Im definately confused between et and es

[Sitesurf]

Are you confused between "and" and "are"?

[humam258718]

Et is and

Es is are

[IgaBartomi]

Hmmm. Can I use 'suis' instead of 'je suis' and 'es' instead of 'tu es' etc.?

[Sitesurf]

No, French is not Spanish. Personal pronouns are required except in imperative.

[Kimberly484007]

I am confused between es and et.

[Sitesurf]

"Es" is the exclusive conjugation when the subject is "tu"

"Et" means "and".

[Kelsea781962]

Same

[nyfvtfg]

I am confused where to use 'es' and 'sont'. I thought both meant 'are'.

[Sitesurf]

Please learn the conjugation of the verb "être" in present:

• je suis, tu es, il/elle/on est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont.

[Maddieb2023]

So the differemce between "Une Fille" a girl and "Un Garçon" is the E afterwards?

[Sitesurf]

"Un" is the indefinitive article "a/an" before a masculine noun.

"Une" is the indefinite article "a/an" before a feminine noun.

All nouns have a grammatical gender, so "un" and "une" are used for people, animals and things.

I wrote: je suis un garçon et tu es une fille. Is this wrong? It's is shown to be wrong. Can someone please explain ?

[Sitesurf]

Did you report it during the exercise?

[2have2fun2]

No it is right in my notepad I wrote je suis un garçon et tu es une fille it is right for me or maybe you spelled wrong

[NikunjLad]

You have not started your sentence with 'Je', you started with 'je'. Thats the issue. Sentence starts with capital letters

[2have2fun2]

Sitesurf you right

[sonu873509]

i gave it right!

[amitbhavsar85]

How is the pronunciation of "et" different from "es"?

[VerisetLeuat]

Homme=man garcon=boy oops

[VerisetLeuat]

Impossible -_-

[632.iDHPsFxNTOcY]

What did i do wrong

[Pam639538]

No fare

[CarolynRen7]

It isnt showing me the sentence I am supposed to translate so I am losing points when I guess wrong.

[Darius882952]

Does one pronounce the es in the phrase "et tu es une fille" ? The recording sounds like it's dropped, i.e. pronounced as "et tu une fille".

[Sitesurf]

In theory, there should be 2 liaisons in this sentence:

Je suis_Z_un garçon et tu es_Z_une fille

Even if the woman's audio does not have them, I can hear the "es" [ey] quite clearly.
