In English, the second personsubjectpronounisalways "you," no matter how many people you'retalking to, and regardless of whetheryou know them. But French has twodifferentwords for "you": tu (listen) and vous (listen).The difference in meaningbetweenthesetwowordsisvery important* - you must understandwhen and why to use each of them. Otherwise, youmayinadvertentlyinsultsomeone by using the wrong "you."
(textbook page 26)When you are speaking to an individual in French, you need to choose between the formal (vous) and informal (tu) forms of address. When speaking with someone whom you don’t know very well, who is older than you, or who is in a higher position, vousis in order.

Voici un autre exemple
(textbook page 26)Vous is always used in addressing more than one person. Vous is also generally used in these cases.
(textbook page 26)In cases of doubt, it is always preferable to use vous. You will want to add monsieur,madame, or mademoiselle for politeness.
(textbook page 26)The informal tuis used in these cases.

Nowthatyou know how to greetlet’ssee how to identify people and things:with questions:
(textbook page 27)If you want an object to be identified, ask Qu’est-cequec’est?
(textbook page 11)
(textbook page 11)
Here is Another way to ask to identify an objet:
(textbook page 27)Any statement can be turned into a yes/no question by placing est-cequein front of it and using rising intonation.
(textbook page 12)
(textbook page 12)
(textbook page 27)To inquire about someone’s identity, ask Qui est-ce?
(textbook page 27)Que contracts to qu’ when followed by a vowel sound.
The French indefinite articles un, une, and des are equivalent to a, an, and some. All French nouns are categorized by gender, as masculine or feminine, even when they refer to inanimate objects. The form of the article that precedes the noun indicates its gender. As one would expect, nouns that refer to males are masculine and, conversely, nouns that refer to females are feminine. However, the gender of inanimate nouns is unpredictable.For example, parfum(perfume) is masculine, chemise(shirt) is feminine, and chemisier(blouse)is masculine. We suggest that, when learning new words, you store them in your memory with the correct article as if it were one word.
(textbook page 28)
(textbook page 28)French nouns are also categorized according to number, as singular or plural. The indefinite article des is used in front of plural nouns, regardless of gender. The most common way to make a noun plural is by adding an s. If the noun ends in -eau, add an x to form the plural. Since the final s is not often pronounced in French, the listener must pay attention to the article to know whether a noun is plural or singular.
(textbook page 28)Last note: When un is followed by a vowel sound, the n is pronounced. If des is followed by a noun beginning with a vowel sound, the s is pronounced like a z. This linking is called liaison.
