Questions & Answers about Les deux enfants regardent trois films amusants.

Why do the numbers deux and trois come before the noun, but amusants comes after?
In French, numbers like deux (two) and trois (three) always go before the noun they count, just like in English. However, most descriptive adjectives, like amusants (funny), come after the noun.
Does the x in deux make a sound in this sentence?
Yes, it makes a Z sound! Normally, the x at the end of deux is silent. But because the next word, enfants, starts with a vowel, the x connects to it. This connection is called a liaison.
How do I pronounce the -ent at the end of regardent?
You do not pronounce it at all! For regular verbs ending in -er like regarder (to watch), the -ent ending for the 'they' form is completely silent. You just say the base of the word.
Why does amusants have an s at the end?
In French, adjectives must match the noun they describe. Because films is plural, you must add a silent s to the end of amusant to make it plural too. Notice that the numbers deux and trois do not get an extra s because numbers generally never change their spelling.
