Questions & Answers about Nous organisons nos projets ensemble.
Why do we use nos here instead of notre?
Both words mean 'our', but you choose between them based on the thing you own. Because we are talking about multiple projets (projects), we use the plural form nos. If it were just one project, we would say notre projet. Does nos change if the noun is feminine instead of masculine?
No! That is the nice thing about plural possessive words like nos (our), vos (your), and leurs (their). They are the exact same for masculine and feminine nouns. You only need to remember that they are used for plural things. Do I pronounce the 's' at the end of nos and projets?
No, both of those 's' endings are silent. You would only pronounce the 's' in nos (making a 'z' sound) if the next word started with a vowel or a silent 'h'. Since projets starts with a consonant, the 's' stays silent. What is the infinitive (base form) of the verb organisons?
The base form is organiser (to organize). It is a regular -er verb, which is why it takes the standard -ons ending when used with the subject nous (we). Since nous means more than one person, shouldn't ensemble have an 's' at the end?
No, ensemble (together) is an adverb, which means it describes how the action is done. In French, adverbs never change their spelling or become plural. Learn Nous organisons nos projets ensemble and more in French
