les maths, l'anglais, le français, les sciences, l'histoire, l'art (art), le sport (PE), la technologie (technology), les langues (languages).

Opinions

J'adore (I love), j'aime (I like), je n'aime pas (I don't like), je déteste (I hate).
Use le, la, l' or les after these verbs: j'aime les maths.

Justify it

Add parce que c'est + adjective: intéressant (interesting), facile (easy), difficile (difficult), ennuyeux (boring), utile (useful).
J'adore l'histoire parce que c'est intéressant.
Worked example

Translate: I hate science because it is difficult.

  1. I hate = je déteste
  2. science = les sciences
  3. because it is difficult = parce que c'est difficile

Answer: Je déteste les sciences parce que c'est difficile.

Key idea

Opinion verb + le / la / les + subject, then parce que c'est + adjective. J'aime les maths parce que c'est utile.
