Bonjour les abonnés,

There has been a big change in my life - please read my special message, Au revoir, l'Hexagone.


En fait
The French expression en fait is very useful - so useful, in fact, that I insist you read this lesson.

Plural nouns
In both French and English, many nouns can be singular or plural: un homme (one man) / deux hommes (two men), la chaise (the chair) / les chaises (the chairs). But there are quite a few French nouns that can only be plural, including some related to religion and material possessions.
