4. Writing Challenge

List 5 masculine and 5 feminine places or stores (in French, with articles).

Notes:

Gender hints: Most meats are masculine (le poulet, le bœuf, le porc, le jambon, le canard), but some are feminine (la dinde, la saucisse, la viande). Plurals use “les”.

Partitives: Use “du/de la/des” for “some” (du poulet, de la dinde, des saucisses).

Plural alert: Les saucisses (sausages), les viandes (meats), les escargots (snails) are plural.
