**Week 7 - Verb "Avoir" and "La famille"**
__**Lesson Instructions:**__ 1. **__Please Note:__** The verb ** avoir ** is irregular in the present tense. Listen carefully to the pronunciation of the - ** s ** in the plural pronouns ** nous, vous **, and ** ils/elles **. This ** -s ** is pronounced as a ** /z/ ** to link with the vowel sound in the plural forms of ** avoir **. This ** liaison **, or linking, is especially important in distinguishing ** ils ont ** (they have)from the third person plural of être ** ils sont ** (they are). ** (The avoir verb audio can be linked here). ** media type="file" key="Avoir audio1_ex1.mp3" width="240" height="20" media type="file" key="French Verb_ avoir.mp3" align="left" width="240" height="20"
