And let's go for a practice observe the following words and tell me whether or not to
apply the rules of elision.
Let's get started.
.
Is it necessary to apply the rules of elision on .
Yes, becoming it.
The final E in the word ce is followed by the letter E in the word est.
Therefore apply the elision rule by removing the letter E from the word ce and
replacing it with an apostrophe.
Let's move on to the next one.
The dress.
What happens to the dress?
Yes, the dress remains the same because the a in the
word la and followed by r and r is a consonant.
So we don't delete the a two there.
. .
What becomes of .
Yes, she likes, does not change the final of ELLE,
but not concerned with the rule of elision.
Remember this chart well.
Now let's move on
to the next ones.
. What
becomes .
Yes, becomes
. Because the final E of ME is opposite the letter A which is a
vowel. Have I arrived?
What happens?
Have I arrived?
Have I
arrived? Stay the same.
Did I arrive the E stays here?
Even if the E in I is followed by a vowel.
The inversion of the subject and the verb prevents the application of the elision rule.
Next. Yoga, Yoga.
What happens to yoga?
Yes, that's yoga.
That leaves yoga.
Why yoga begins with the vowel Y and is not a word of French origin.
So we don't delete the in the word the.
Some other.
What happens to some others?
Some other remain the same because only with the word one we
have to delete the final of some.
It does not arrive, it does not arrive.
What becomes it does not arrive.
Yes, it does not happen.
Becomes it does not arrive because the word is not in front of a vowel.
And finally the last one if it comes.
What happens if he comes?
Yes, if it comes, it comes.
When, if they are in front of it, singular or plural, the rule of the
elision applies.
Thus the i is deleted and replaced by an apostrophe.
Bravo! This lesson on elision is now over.
