Instead of saying ‘I want the apple’, using the word ‘this’ allows us to demonstrate which particular apple we want. The demonstrative adjective is what allows us to describe the particular object we are referring to. In French, we use ‘ce, cet, cette or ces’ where we would use ‘this, that, these or those’ in English. Ce is used when the noun we are referring to is masculine singular: Ce livre est ennuyant. – This (That) book is boring.J’aime ce tableau. – I like this (that) painting.Je veux voir ce film – I want to see this (that) film. Ce becomes cet in front of a masculine noun that begins with a vowel or mute h: Cet homme est intelligent. – This (That) man is intelligent.Je connais cet endroit. – I know this (that) place. Cette is used to refer to feminine singular nouns: Ces is plural: Notes: Ces is used to describe all plural nouns. Like this:
