Answers
Answer: The good news is that in the grand scheme of things, the basics of French accents are easy to grasp. In fact, spoiler: There are only five accents to learn. There's aigu (É), grave (È), cédille (Ç), tréma (Ë) and circonflexe (Ê). Four of these accents are used on vowels, and one is used on a consonant.
Explanation:MARK ME THE BRAINLIEST
The acute accent (´), l'accent aigu, and the grave accent (`), l'accent grave, are used to indicate the quality of the vowel sound represented by the letter e.
A. Listen to each example and repeat.
é /e/
année
Répétez!
André
è /ɛ/
très
après
Michèle
When used with letters other than e, the accent grave does not indicate a sound difference but serves to distinguish different words which have the same spelling but different meanings.
ou (or) où (where)
la date (the date) là (there)
il y a (there is/are) à l'heure (on time)
The circumflex (ˆ), l'accent circonflexe, arose historically as a marker for vowels which were followed by another letter (usually s) in an earlier state of the language:
être (<estre) hôtel (<hostel) forêt (<forest) plaît (<plaist)
The cedilla (ç), la cédille, is used only with the letter c to indicate the sound /s/ when it is followed by the letters a, o, or u:
Ça va? /sa/ cahier /ka/
The cedilla is not used with the letters e and i:
Ce merci
c'est ici
The dieresis (¨), le tréma, is used with vowels to indicate that they are pronounced separately from a preceding vowel:
