REMARKS ON THE PRONUNCIATION OF SOME CARDINAL
NUMBERS.

The last consonant of cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, and dix, must be pronounced, 1st, in reckoning; 2ndly, at the end of a sentence; and, 3rdly, before a vowel or h mute. Sept then sounds like the English word set; neuf sounds nuff at the end of a sentence, and the ƒ sounds like a v before a vowel: the a in dix sounds like dis in distance, when nothing follows, and like a z before a vowel.

The x of dix is pronounced also in dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf.

The t of vingt is pronounced before a vowel or h mute, and in the series from vingt to trente, as: vingt-deux, vingt-trois, etc.

* Observe that the word a or one by which the numbers hundred and thousand

are preceded in English, are not expressed in French.

Besides the numeral adjectives, above mentioned, there are substantives expressive of numbers, such as the collective, which express a collected number; as, a dozen, une douzaine; etc. The distributive, which express a part of a number, as: the fourth, le quart; the half, la moitié; etc. and the proportional, which expresses a multiplication of the number; as double, le double, etc.

N.B.-Rules and exercises on the numeral adjectives will be given in the syntax.

CHAPTER IV.

OF PRONOUNS.

Pronouns are words which are used instead of nouns, to avoid repetition.

There are, in French, five different sorts of pronouns ; The personal, the possessive, the demonstrative, the relative, and the indefinite.

OF PERSONAL PRONOUNS.

Personal pronouns are used to represent the names of persons or things. The French have two distinct sorts of personal pronouns, viz.: the conjunctive, so called from their being immediately united with verbs, which they always precede,* and the disjunctive which are put in the same place in French, as they are in English.

The personal conjunctive pronouns are all placed, in French, before the verb in a simple tense, or before the auxiliary in a compound one.

* Except in the imperative affirmative.
