LE VERBE<\/span>
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span>(Verb) <\/strong><\/td>\n		Le verbe <\/em><\/strong>is all about l’action<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n

L’action<\/strong><\/em> made by whom? By le sujet <\/em><\/strong>(the subject)<\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/td>\n

\n<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/span>(Determiner)<\/td>\n		Used with un nom <\/strong><\/em>(a name), the determiner provides more specific information on it, such as le nombre <\/em><\/strong>(the number),\u00a0and le genre <\/strong><\/em>(gender)<\/td>\nL’accord <\/em><\/strong>(the agreement) happens with le nom <\/strong><\/em>which it determines<\/td>\nUn, une, des; le, la, les; ce\/cet, cette; mon, ma, mes, ton, ta, tes, son, sa; etc.<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
