Questions & Answers about Il trouve quatorze œufs et quinze pommes au marché.
Do the numbers quatorze and quinze change depending on whether the word is masculine (œufs) or feminine (pommes)?
No, cardinal numbers from two onwards never change their spelling to match the gender of the noun. Quatorze (fourteen) and quinze (fifteen) stay exactly the same whether they are counting masculine words like œufs or feminine words like pommes. The only number that changes is un (one), which becomes une for feminine words.
How do you pronounce œufs? Does it sound like the singular word œuf?
Why does the sentence use au marché instead of à le marché for "at the market"?
Why isn't there a word like des (some) before œufs and pommes?
