Boiling point... Explanation: An ébullition is a boiling point, and therefore a noun. (ie. The boiling point of water...) Bouillant is an adjective, meaning boiling. (ie. The boiling water is in the kettle) Bouilloire is the word for kettle, and therefore a noun. Good luck! I make hot chocolate with boiling water ALL the time. Yummy! |
