^ The word professeur is considered masculine at all times, even if the teacher is female. The only case<br />
when "professeur" can be preceded by feminine determinant is either when contracting it in colloquial<br />
language "la prof", or when adding a few words before : "madame/mademoiselle la/le professeur".<br />
^ The way that grades are numbered in France is opposite the way they are in the US. Whereas American<br />
grade numbers go up as you approach your senior year, they descend in France.<br />
^ Écrire is an irregular verb. You will learn to conjugate it in the next section.<br />
^ In French, you do not "own" body parts. While in English, you would say my hand or your hand, the<br />
definite article is almost always used in French.<br />
la main - my hand<br />
la jambe - my leg<br />
le bras - my arm<br />
For example, you would say Je me suis cassé la main (I have broken my hand) and never Je me suis cassé<br />
ma main. But you must say "Ma main est cassée" (My hand is broken) and not "La main est cassée" (lit. The<br />
hand is broken) if you speak about your own hand.<br />
^ To and of are built into the verbs écouter and entendre respectively. It is not necessary to add a<br />
preposition to the verb. Other verbs, such as répondre {à), meaning to respond (to), are almost always<br />
followed by a preposition.<br />
