Demonstrative Adjectives - Adjectifs démonstratifs
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.
