Look at these examples:
deux plus deux égal quatre
two plus two equals four
six moins un égal cinq

Additions and subtractions
We use plus (plus) and moins (minus), and then égal (equal).
Note that in French we usually use the noun égal (like the symbol =) in these phrases.
You can also use the verb égaler (to equal) or even faire:
Note that the preferred form for égaler (Académie Française...) is the singular égale, where we'll use the plural font for faire.
Multiplications
We can use fois (times) or multiplié par (multiplied by).
Divisions
We use divisé par (divided by).

Hi Susan,
'Égal' is a masculine noun and means the sign, =
Égale is from the verb égaler and it also means 'equals' , it is just an ER verb ending.
Just the two ways of saying 'equals' in French.
Hope this helps!

The microkwiz for this lesson is working now. Thanks for letting us know.
Note: it's still best to add topics to your notebook and kwiz against that repeatedly if you want to test all the available questions for a topic.
