Day 8 - French Demonstrative Adjectives

Demonstrative adjectives (this, that, these, those) are words used in place of articles to indicate a specific noun.
In French, they must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify:
  • Ce is the masculine singular demonstrative adjective: 
 Ce prof parle trop. - This (That) teacher talks too much.
 J'aime ce livre. - I like this (that) book.
  • Ce becomes Cet in front of a masculine noun that begins with a vowel or mute h (learn more): 
 Cet homme est sympa. - This (That) man is nice. Je connais cet endroit. - I know this (that) place.
  •  Cette is feminine singular: 
 Cette idée est intéressante. - This (That) idea is interesting.
 Je veux parler à cette fille. - I want to talk to this (that) girl.
  •  Ces is plural
 Ces livres sont stupides. - These (Those) books are stupid.
 Je cherche ces femmes. - I'm looking for these (those) women.

NOTE: "Cettes" does not exist.
