A multiple-language online dictionary.

 

Using this site to look up an occasional simple word is best.

 

For entries that return multiple possible French equivalents, be sure to carefully check:

1) part of speech

2) context clues (provided in parentheses)

 

When using words found on this site, be sure to:

1) select the English-French or Fench-English search feature [note: It is very common for students to accidentally select another language which results in an incorrect French assignment].

2) Copy spelling correctly, this includes accent marks.

3) Pay attention to the part of speech and follow the grammar and sentence word order patterns presented in class:

   a. nouns-

   -pay attention to gender    abbreviations [m=masculine;    f=feminine] AND use an appropriate    article 

   -pay attention to notes about irregular    forms

   -modify to agree in gender and    number with the noun you are    describing

    -follow the adjective placement rules    provided in class

   -conjugate in the present tense [all    year];

   -use in the infinitive after another    conjugated verb [all year];

   -conjugate in the near future [from    the end of 2nd quarter]

    -conjugate in the passé composé [3rd    and 4th quarters only]

   -Do not conjugate in any other tense.
