Bonjour
acute = aigu <em>(masc.) </em> aigüe <em>(fem.)</em>
The acute mark is l'accent aigu.
It only appears above the letter 'e'. It gives the sound 'ay' é / É
écrire = ay-cree- r <em>(to write)</em>
médecin = may-deh- sehn <em>(doctor)</em>
<em>the past participles of the 1st group ending in -er (parler, chanter, aimer) are ending with this acute mark.</em>
<em>parler = parlé</em>
<em>chanter = chanté</em>
<em>aimer = aimé</em>
<em>you'll use those when leaning the passé composé (pass-ay compo-zay)</em>
Hope this helps ☺☺☺
