C’est is a really useful
expression. It’s used with a singular word. With plural words, correct form is
ce sont. Though, in casual French, we often use c’est. C’est or Ce sont are expressions that we use to present someone or something. They are followed by a noun (or a pronoun).
C’est un cadeau. C’est du vin blanc.
C’est> is also used to comment
something . It’s followed by an adjective.
Ce sont des chips.
C’est gentil. C’est joli.
Ne mange pas is the negative form of the imperative mood. We use the same two-part negative adverb ne…pas and we place it on both sides of the verb. Ne (or n’) + verb at the imperative mood + pas + the end of the sentence |
