			| Food 4 
 Cette pomme est bonne.
 This apple is good.
 
 Une banane

 It occurs to me that the unaccented e sounds just like the a in Spanish. They achieve the same sound for feminine declension of articles. They both sound like ‘uh’!
 
 Des fruits

 Looks like ‘fruit’ comes from French —only in French the ‘i’ is pronounced and the ‘t’ is silent (including the plural s when added).

 The tea is very good.
 
 Très
 Very
 
 Have to remember that très means ‘very’ and not Spanish tres which means three.

 Yes it’s also a noun that means kitchen. A feminine noun.
