Questions & Answers about Ce gilet est assorti à mes baskets.

Why is it ce gilet and not cet gilet or cette gilet?

Ce is the masculine singular demonstrative adjective used before most consonant sounds.

• ce = masculine singular before a consonant
• cet = masculine singular before a vowel or mute h
• cette = feminine singular

Since gilet is masculine singular and starts with the consonant sound g, you use ce:

• ce gilet
• but cet hiver
• and cette veste

Is gilet masculine or feminine?

Gilet is masculine, which is why the sentence uses:

• ce gilet
• assorti ending in -i

If it were feminine, you would see forms like cette and assortie.

Why is it assorti and not assortie or assortis?
