Comparative and superlatives in French are generally simpler than in English, though there are a few irregular forms to use and an unusual structure in certain cases. However, if you remember the limited irregular forms and to use the appropriate gender and singular/plural endings, you will have mastered most of this grammar structure.
Pronouns replace nouns in sentences, and they are an easy way to avoid redundancy and construct more advanced sentences in French. They take different forms depending on what function in the sentence they are taking and which pronoun they are replacing. There are often distinct masculine/feminine and singular/plural forms.
Prepositions aren’t the most exciting topic in French, but they’re essential for understanding how words relate to each other.
