The verb jouer

FCPage14 - JOUER.png

As you may have noticed, there are certain words that go together.

jouer + de

Did you notice that jouer is always followed by du / de la / des and then an instrument

Rappel de grammaire :

  • de + le = du
  • de + la = de la
  • de + les = des

 *Remember that the h in French is silent, so you have to treat the silent h like a vowel, which is why it is jouer de l'harmonica.

jouer + à

However, with sports, jouer is followed by à.

For these vocabulary words, you are only using à + le = au, but go ahead and familiarize yourself with the rule. We will use the feminine and plural contractions soon.

Review: faire de

Remember, some of the terms that you have learned use faire + de.
