I know that the "s" in ils ont is pronounced like a "hard z" but I was wondering how the "s" is pronounced in "ils" when you say "ils l'ont fait"

Merci d'avance.

[FrenchTastic1]

No, the "s" is not pronounced when you say "ils l'ont fait". As a general, the S in ILS/ELLES is pronounced only when it is followed by a vowel or a mute h (h muet). It can be a hard "z" sound or a soft "sss" sound based on the following vowel. Hope this helps,

I have a question. In a video i saw a dialog and the man asked to te woman "Vous avez française?" (i don'to know if the sppeling is all correct, but... the correct form shouldn't be "Vous êtes française?" ?

By the way, congratulations for the classes and thaks to do that for us!

[FrenchTastic1]

Oui, "Vous êtes française?" will be correct.

Merci,

Herman

@FrenchTastic1 so "ils/elles ONT" (they have) and "ils/elles SONT" (they are) when used with the "liaison" is actually the same thing?... is that right?... because they are then both said exactly the same way.. please correct if im wrong here. Or would you not need to use the liaison on "ils/elles ONT?".. so it would sound like "ilont" or "elont"?

Many thanks.. and great work mon ami.

[FrenchTastic1]

@nido76 Bonjour Nido. "ils ont" is not pronounced the same as "ils sont". The first one is pronounced ILZON (hard z)while the 2nd one is pronounced ILSSON (soft s)

If you apply the same rule to "elles ont" vs "elles sont" you should be able to pronounce them correctly too. Hope this helps. (and if you're having too much difficulty, check the verbs on my site. I posted online all the conjugated forms of these 2 verbs) frenchtasticpeople [dot] com - Merci

Hi, I'm Brazilian living in the US and I speak english, Portuguese and Spanish. Inane taken French classes in high school for 4 consecutive years. I don't have anyone to practice with so it's been 4 years that I haven't studied it. My pronunciation is great and so is my writhing and reading. The only problem I have is that I can't have a conversation. I can't put sentences together. Probably because I never had anyone to practice with. Is there anything you can do to help me? To remember everyt

[SIVESTRIN1974]

Hey, i'm a spanish spoken person, english is my second language, now i'm getting in french learning. I think your work is very useful for me, because you are linking my 3 favorites languages and i'm able to realize how similar are them. Thanks keep going.
