We have been working with modal (also called helper) verbs! You completed this person "BINGO" by walking around and asking people in the class travel questions.

Reminder: 
Helper verbs "help" the sentence by giving more information!

Some helper verbs:
Vouloir (to want)
Devoir (to have to)
Pouvoir (to be able to)
Aimer (to like)
Aller (to go)
Préférer (to prefer)
Détester (to hate)

E.g.
Je danse => Je veux danser
I dance => I want to dance

The helper verb is conjugated in the present tense, the second verb in the sentence is unconjugated, it is in the infinitive! (meaning it ends in -ER, -RE or -IR)

Extra practice:
Add a helper verb to these sentences to make them match the English translation.
*Remember: Helper verb (present) + Verb 2 (infinitive)*

e.g.
Question: Je nage dans l'océan : I hate swimming in the ocean
Réponse: Je déteste nager dans l'océan

1. Je voyage à Tokyo:  I want to travel to Tokyo.
2. Tu aimes ma valise: You have to like my suitcase.
3. Ils choisissent un voyage: They can choose a trip.
4. Nous avons les billets: We like to have the tickets.
5. Vous allez en France: You prefer to go to France

Answers under the cut.
