Liason with égal and égale?

M. M.A2Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

I noticed that the recording of "deux plus deux égal quatre" has no liason after the second deux but "deux plus deux égale quatre" does. Is it just a coincidence or is there a difference because of égal/égale? I find it difficult to know when to use liason before a vowel and when not to and can't find anything that really explains it.

This question relates to:French lesson "Doing arithmetic in French - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division"

Hi Melisa,

Indeed the liaison is made in the second case but not the first.

You can say both but personally I wouldn't make the liaison!
