Questions & Answers about Vous faites les courses au supermarché.
Why does vous faites end in -tes instead of the usual -ez?
How do you pronounce faites? Do I pronounce the "s" at the end?
No, the final "s" is completely silent. Faites sounds just like the English word "fret" without the "r" (fett). Notice that the ai here is pronounced like a short "e", which makes this word a bit tricky to say correctly!
Does faire les courses specifically mean grocery shopping?
Why is it au supermarché instead of à le supermarché?
