Questions & Answers about L'été est une saison magnifique.
Why is L’été written with a capital letter?
It’s capitalized simply because it’s at the beginning of the sentence. In French, seasons themselves aren’t ordinarily capitalized when they appear in the middle of a sentence.
Why do we write L’été instead of Le été when it’s at the beginning?
When a French word starts with a vowel or an “h,” the article le or la typically contracts with it by dropping the vowel in le or la. So Le été becomes L’été to make it flow better.
What is the role of the word une here?
Une is the indefinite article in feminine form. Since saison is a feminine noun (la saison), you have to use une to say “a season.”
Why does magnifique come after saison?
Most French adjectives follow the noun. Magnifique is one of those adjectives that typically comes after the noun it describes. So you say une saison magnifique rather than une magnifique saison.
