Bonjour tout le monde!!!
This is the last section of this lesson. You have already learned how to use French prepositions of location with masculine and feminine nouns. If not, you can always access these section here:
- SECTION A: FRENCH PREPOSITIONS OF LOCATION WITH MASCULINE NOUNS
- SECTION B: FRENCH PREPOSITIONS OF LOCATIONS WITH FEMININE NOUNS
In this current lesson, we will now focus on French names of public places starting with a vowel or a silent h.
II. List of common names of public places in the city (Section C):
| NOUNS BEGINNING WITH VOWELS or SILENT H | ||
|---|---|---|
| LES ENDROITS PUBLICS (PUBLIC PLACES) | EXAMPLES | |
 |
l’école primaire (fem.) (the elementary school) |
Les enfants reviennent de l’école primaire (The kids are returning from the elementary school) |
 |
l’hôpital (masc.) (the hospital) |
Je vais à l’hôpital pour visiter un ami malade (I am going to the hospital to visit a sick friend) |
 |
l’opéra (masc.) (the opera) |
Nous sommes allés à l’opéra vendredi dernier (We went to the opera last Friday) |
 |
l’église (fem.) (the church) |
Cette église est en face de l’hôpital (This church is opposite the hospital) |
Can you translate the first example as “the kids are returning from the elementary school”?
Bonjour,
Your translation is actually a much better one. I will make sure amend the English sentence. Thank you for drawing my attention to this.
