Tips to remember the French word “trente-et-un”:

1. “Trente-et-un” can be broken down into two parts: “trente” (thirty) and “un” (one).

2. The word “et” means “and” in French, so “trente-et-un” literally translates to “thirty and one.”

3. To remember the word, you can associate it with the English word “triangle,” as both words start with “tr” and have a similar sound.

4. Visualizing a picture of thirty-one objects, such as thirty-one pencils or thirty-one balloons, can also aid in remembering the French word.

Explanations on how to form the number “trente-et-un”:

In French, the numbers from 21 to 69 are formed by combining the words for the tens digit (vingt, trente, quarante, etc.) with the unit digit (un, deux, trois, etc.) using a hyphen.

So, to form “trente-et-un,” you take the word for “thirty” (trente) and add the word for “one” (un). The hyphen is used to connect the two words, giving you “trente-et-un.”

Example sentence using “trente-et-un”:

J’ai reçu trente-et-un cadeaux pour mon anniversaire. (I received thirty-one gifts for my birthday.)

Note: “Trente-et-un” is an irregular French number because the numbers from 21 to 69 follow a different pattern compared to the rest of the counting system. It’s important to practice and memorize these numbers individually.
