Liaison
The liaison is the union of two words by pronouncing the last consonant of one with the initial vowel of the other: les enfants, vous avez.
The liaison is made only between words which are closely connected in thought.
In making the liaison, the final d is pronounced like t, the final f like v, and the final s and x like z: grand homme, neuf enfants, les amis, deux amis.
