Demonstrative adjectives in French


\\ \\

Demonstrative adjectives are used to point out or indicate specific nouns in a sentence. They help provide context and clarify which thing or things you are referring to. In French, demonstrative adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun to which they refer.


\\

We will use the following table to help us understand when each demonstrative adjective is used.


\boxed{\begin{array}c\underline{\textsf{ Demonstrative adjectives} }& \underline{\textsf{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ \ When do we use them? \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } } &\\ \\ \sf Ce & \sf When \ the \ noun \ is \ masculine \ singular , \\ & \sf and \ starts \ with \ a \ consonant. \\ \underline{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }& \underline{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \\ \\ \sf Cet & \sf When \ the \ noun \ is \ masculine \ singular, \\ &\sf and \: starts \ with \ a \ vowel. \\ \underline{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }& \underline{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \\ \\ \sf Cette & \sf When \ the \ noun \ is \ feminine \ singular.\\ \underline{ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }& \underline{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \\ \\ \sf Ces & \sf When \ the \ noun \ is \ plural. \end{array}}


\\

[Demonstrative adjective] enfants sont dans la cour de l'école.


\\

Here, the noun to which the demonstrative adjective refers is "enfants." As many other nouns ending with an "s," "enfants" is plural.

When the noun is plural, the demonstrative adjective we use is always "ces," no matter its gender.


\\

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Ces enfants sont dans la cour d'école.

Translation: These children are in the schoolyard.
