French: accents: notre and nôtre

Self-tutoring about French: the tutor mentions notre and nôtre.

Sometimes, the presence of an accent changes a word’s meaning in French. For instance, notre is a possessive adjective meaning our. However, nôtre is a possessive pronoun meaning ours. Nôtre is used with an article before it, depending on whether it’s masculine, feminine, or plural:

C’est notre voiture: oui, c’est la nôtre.This is our car: yes, it’s ours.
