Accents

Five different kinds of accent marks are used in written French. In many cases, an accent changes the sound of the letter to which it is added. In others, the accent has no effect on pronunciation. Accents in French never indicate stress (which always falls on the last syllable). The following table lists every French accent mark and the letters with which it can be combined:

Adverbs

Introduction
First, the good news! If you compare adverbs in French and English, you'll find that there are many similarities. This includes how adverbs are used and the way in which many of them are formed. Also, once you know your adverb in French, you don't have to worry about whether it's masculine or feminine - unlike nouns and adjectives in French, where of course the difference is important.
And the... other news? Remember that there are always exceptions to these general rules and these have to be learned. However, you'll soon see that practice makes perfect!

Turning a positive French sentence into a negative one is pretty straightforward. In most cases, all you need to do is add “ne” before the verb and “pas” after it.

Adjectives in French agree in number and gender with the noun they qualify.

While several common adjectives come before the noun, the majority of adjectives, including all less frequent adjectives, follow the noun.
