Hi there, I don't do French but I do English Language and we study word classifications and stuff. Indefinite articles in English are 'a' and 'an'. A definite article is 'the'.

You use an indefinite article when talking about things generally, and a definite article when talking about a specific thing. So for example, 'an apple' is any old apple while 'the apple' is a specific one. I presume it's a similar system in French - although I'm not sure, I doubt they'd be called the same thing if it wasn't the same system. So just substitute the corresponding word with a/an or the, depending on what meaning you want.

Hope this helps! Sorry if I wasn't clear about anything.

Yes thank you, it's similar to English it's just the actual placement of where the nouns and articles need to go that seems glaringly obvious, but for some reason I'm not understanding it.

Oh right. I don't have any knowledge of that, sorry I hope you find the answer soon

Started properly revising on Sunday, my mocks are next week. I've been doing 1 or 2 past papers a day and an obscene amount of note and book reading.
^^^Realised I just went on a rant and would like to apologize to anyone who actually bothered to read that spoiler. Double apologies if the bb-code didn't work

Anyone out there doing AQA French? How are you preparing for the oral exam?

I am! I'm going to be mind mapping bullet points for each topic/possible questions. Also thinking of writing out possible questions, putting them in a hat and answering them randomly how about you?

Hey! I'm doing AQA French as well I'm doing mindmaps on each topic ( e.g les drogues) and then I would bullet point positive and negative arguments (e.g ca fait du bien as positif then il deviendrait accro ) and then also vocab or phrases that I want to remember x My teacher also gives us a little sheet with questions, that could be asked during the oral exam, whenever we complete the topic.
@SampleX (since you asked first x)

Mind maps are definitely happening, I'm also learning some debate phrases and ones that can be used with the subjunctive

I can't agree with you more! There's just so much to know in order to get a A or even a B! But we can deffo do this, as long as we know our tenses and have great arguing points! My weakness is definitely the listening section . The thing is after you pass an U the grade boundary are really tight, 5-10 marks could be the difference between a grade!
