7. 0 mon dieu, que c'est beau ! — My ! how beautiful that is ! " Que " and " comme" very frequently begin exclamatory sentences.

" Mon dieu !" is a mère exclamation, as will be seen by referring to page 193, Une 1. Its signification in English will naturally vary with the individuals who use it. Some would say, " Heavens !" or, " Bless me!" — " My stars !" or, as above, " My ! "

8. Qu'est-ce que c'est ? — What is it ? Literally : What is that which it is ?

" Ce," alone, is " that." Hère the second "ce " means " ££," because it relates to something which précèdes.

9. Il sépara la terre d'avec les eaux. — He separated the earth froni (being with) the water.

The prépositions in French differ so much from those used in English, that their correct use can only be acquired by habit . For example : " To drink from, or out of, a glass," should be rendered by " Boire dans un verre," — that is, literally, " To drink into a glass." Différences in this respect between the two languages will be frequently noticed hereafter.
