§ What 'pur' means

French Word
pur (adjective)
CEFR Level
A1
Definition
Free from anything that debases, contaminates, or pollutes; clean, innocent.

§ How to use 'pur' in a sentence

The French adjective 'pur' (meaning pure, clean, or innocent) is pretty straightforward to use. Like most adjectives in French, it needs to agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds!

§ Agreement with nouns

Here’s how 'pur' changes depending on the noun:

  • Masculine singular: pur
  • Feminine singular: pure
  • Masculine plural: purs
  • Feminine plural: pures

Let's look at some examples:

C'est de l'eau pure.

Hint
It is pure water. ('eau' is feminine, so 'pure' is used)

Il respire l'air pur de la montagne.

Hint
He breathes the pure mountain air. ('air' is masculine, so 'pur' is used)

Les intentions de la jeune fille étaient pures.

Hint
The young girl's intentions were pure. ('intentions' is feminine plural, so 'pures' is used)

Ces métaux sont purs.

Hint
These metals are pure. ('métaux' is masculine plural, so 'purs' is used)

§ Placement of 'pur'

Most adjectives in French come AFTER the noun they modify. 'Pur' is one of those. So, you'll say "l'eau pure" (the pure water), not "la pure eau".

Elle a un cœur pur.

Hint
She has a pure heart.

Le ciel est pur après la pluie.

Hint
The sky is pure (clear) after the rain.

§ 'Pur' with prepositions

'Pur' doesn't typically require specific prepositions to follow it, as it directly modifies a noun. However, you might see it in phrases where other words dictate the preposition. For example, if you're talking about something being pure of something, you might use 'de'.

Cette boisson est pure de tout additif.

Hint
This drink is pure of all additives. (meaning free from additives)

But generally, 'pur' itself doesn't demand a preposition. Just put it after the noun it describes, and make sure it agrees!

Après des années de scandales politiques, le nouveau dirigeant s'est engagé à restaurer une éthique ___ au sein du gouvernement.

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： pure

The sentence speaks of restoring ethics after scandals, so 'pure' (clean, unblemished) is the appropriate choice. 'Corrompue' (corrupt), 'douteuse' (doubtful), and 'flexible' (flexible, in a negative sense here) are antonyms or inappropriate.

The dedication implies an unadulterated, innocent, and strong love for music, making 'pur' (pure, unselfish) the correct option. 'Intéressé' (self-interested), 'calculé' (calculated), and 'tiède' (lukewarm) are contrary to the passionate dedication described.

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： pure

The sentence suggests maintaining innocence and integrity despite hardships, so 'pure' (innocent, uncorrupted) is the best fit. 'Cynique' (cynical), 'naïve' (naïve, but 'pure' carries more nuance of moral cleanliness), and 'blasée' (jaded) are incorrect in this context.

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： pur

Here, 'pur' refers to an unadulterated, absolute silence, free from any disturbance. 'Bruyant' (noisy) is an antonym, and 'relatif' (relative) or 'intermittent' (intermittent) don't convey the same sense of complete absence of sound.

正确！ 不太对。 正确答案： pur

The context of 'meilleur goût' (best taste) and 'première qualité' (first quality) strongly implies using unadulterated, clean ingredients, making 'pur' (pure, unmixed) the correct choice. 'Artificiels' (artificial), 'impurs' (impure), and 'transformés' (processed) are contrary to the desired outcome.
