coucou~! today i thought I’d do something a little different and conduct a short lesson on how to use the word ‘en’ (to mean “some of it” or “some of them”)! please enjoyy <3
|| the word ‘en’ can be placed in front of a verb to mean “some of it”, “some of them” or simply “of it/them”. let’s look at some examples! ||
je ne peux pas t'en donner
-
i can’t give you any/i can’t give you some
1: combien d’œufs voulez-vous?
2: ah, j'en veux quatre, merci
-
1: how many eggs do you want?
2: oh, i want four (of them), thanks
now let’s practice! lisez les phrases suivantes. réécrivez-les en utilisant le mot « en » à la place des noms.
• je voudrais deux cafés.
• tu veux du gâteau?
• j’ai beaucoup de livres.
how well do you think you did? this is a pretty fun and simple concept, i think. i hope you enjoyed this lesson sort of vibe, et je t’aime! <3

Beyond the Basic in French Adjectives! (AKA synonym list!)
@rivkahstudies made an amazing post with some advanced adjectives in Brazilian Portuguese, and with Rivkah’s permission, I made a similar one for French in case anyone finds it helpful! I know I can relate to the struggle of always saying things like “the movie was good” or “the homework was difficult” instead of something more distinctive.
In most cases, I’ve only listed the masculine form of the adjective, which is the base to which you can create other adjectives from. If you need a refresher on how to create these forms, I recommend the University of Texas’s Tex’s French Grammar website (you can just search “tex french grammar adjectives” and you get lots of good info!) I can also make a post reviewing this information if people would find it helpful—feel free to comment or message me if that’s something you’re interested in!

immense (immense)
vaste (vast)
massif, massive (massive)
monumental (monumental)
