- Today you finished the personality quiz and we found out that Day 1 is mostly... Physique!
- I handed back your tests: you got two marks
1 Adjective agreement (Writing)
2 Translation exercise (Reading)
You will have another test on this next class.
For those of you that did well, this is another chance to show me your skills! For those of you that did not do well, this is your chance to show me an improvement! Look at your notes, see the website, ask your peers, and come ask me!
I am available after school for extra help.
Today we broke Adjective agreement into 2 steps
Step 1: Check to see if the noun (what is being
described) is masculine/feminine + singular/plural
Step 2: Write the
adjective (in this case, the colour) being careful to add the right endings, *watch
exceptions!
+e = feminine
+s = plural (more than one)
(so feminine plural +es)
Remember: you don't add doubles! If it already has an "e" at the end, you don't need to add another one. If it already has an "s" at the end you don't need to add another one.
*EXCEPTIONS:
White:
Blanc = masculine, singular
Blancs = masculine, plural
*Blanche = feminine, singular
*Blanches = feminine, plural
Purple:
Violet = masculine, singular
Violets = masculine, plural
*Violette = feminine, singular
*Violettes = feminine, plural
