Pas à pas p.41 Papa change le roue de la voiture dans le garage. Dad changes the car tyre in the garage. g «j» girafe Just as in English, the letter g can sound soft or hard, depending on the vowel that follows it. When followed by a, o or u it sounds hard (as in English gap, got, gum). When followed by e, i or y it sounds soft (as in gem, gin, gym). There are some exceptions in English, e.g. gear, get, geyser gibbon, giddy, gift, gig, giggle, gild, gills, girl, give. In English a letter can be added to keep the g hard before a soft vowel, e.g. gherkin, guess, guest, guide, guilt, guinea-pig, guitare, guy. The same happens in French, e.g. guépard, guide, guitare.
