Plurals: les, des and silent s, sentence 3

The silent s wakes up before a vowel and is said as z, so les enfants sounds "lay-zahn-FAHN" - a little bridge between the two words.

Who acts: silent s, enfants · What happens: wake up, say, sound, lay · To what, where: zahn · Speech: someone speaks here
