Grammar Rules & Patterns
Pattern 1: The Order of NumbersRule: In French, just like in English, numbers have a specific order. You always have to say them in the right order to count correctly. Order: un (one) [uhn], deux (two) [duh], trois (three) [twah], quatre (four) [KAT-ruh], cinq (five) [sank], six (six) [seess], sept (seven) [set], huit (eight) [weet], neuf (nine) [nuhf], dix (ten) [deess].Pattern 2: Asking the question "Combien? (How many?)"Rule: To ask "How many?", you use the word "Combien? (How many?) [kohm-bee-AHN]". To answer, you use the number and the object. Example: "Combien de chiens? (How many dogs?)" → "Deux (two) [duh] chiens (dogs)."
