Questions & Answers about Ils sortent souvent avec leurs appareils photo.
Why does sortent end in -ent if sortir is an -ir verb?
Do I pronounce the -ent at the end of sortent?
No! In French, the -ent ending on a conjugated verb for ils or elles is always completely silent. You just pronounce the base of the word, so sortent sounds exactly like sort.
Why is souvent placed after the verb?
In French, short adverbs like souvent (often) usually go directly after the conjugated verb. While in English you say 'They often go out', in French the word order is 'They go out often' (Ils sortent souvent).
Why does leurs have an 's' at the end?
