Q

1) “Je n’aime pas le thé” = Je, n’aime pas le T - the verbs conjugated with “je” never have a “T” on the end!
2) “Les si n’aiment pas les rais” = When you start a sentence with “si”, it must never be followed by a conditional ending in “-rais”!

A

4) “Abaco soutra vanviem” = Ail, BAil, COrail, SOUpirail, TRAvail, VANtail, VItrail, EMail - are “-ail” ending words which become “-aux” in the plural form! Aside from these exceptions, ‘ail’ ending words normally become “-ails” when plural!
