- You filled in a work habits sheet for your Interims.
- We reviewed the present tense today (including the irregular ones from your sheet.)

There will be one more day of practice before a quiz on the present tense next week!
Come and see me for extra help if you need it!

Present tense!

- Reflected on the unit so far.

- This is what we went over in class today: the Present tense! 

- We did a Kahoot afterwards to practice.

** We also went over verbs ending in -GER, and how the "nous" conjugation is different **

e.g. VOYAGER

Je voyage

Tu voyages 

Il/Elle/On voyage

Nous voyageons

Vous voyagez

Ils/Elles voyagent

The "e" is added there for pronunciation purposes! 

This is the same for any verb ending in -GER (includ. Manger) 

For homework: use the website in the previous post to write out present tense conjugations for the irregular verbs (these are verbs that do not follow the rules below) + Duolingo :)

We went over the answers to the homework sheet. I asked you comprehension questions as we marked it. Next class (Wednesday Day1, Thursday Day2) you will have a reading test following the same format -- fill in the blank with correct imperative, and answer some comprehension questions

To practice our reading, we looked at a text on Arizona, with some questions
(using the highlighting technique to help us.)
> Highlight all the French words you know in one colour
> Highlight all the English words (or looks like English word) in another colour
** READ THE WHOLE SENTENCE AT A TIME**

Final activity was a listening activity about Arizona.

Devoirs: Duolingo

We presented the mini-projects for a speaking mark. If you were away, please come and see me as soon as possible to arrange a day and time to present to me. Collages should be e-mailed to me!

At the end of class I handed out a fill-in-the-blanks activity using Imperatives. This is for homework, just try your best! I will give ou a few minutes at the beginning of next class to compare with your partners, to see if it all makes sense. We will go over the answers together before moving away from Canada.

Reminder: Duolingo is daily homework on days where we have school.

Bon weekend!

Reminder: Infinitive vs. Imperative

In your projects, instead of saying "voir les montagnes!" 
you should say "voyez les montagnes!" 

Why is that? 

Because:
In the first example, you said "to see the mountains!"
In the second, you said "see the mountains!"

Voir = to see (this is an infinitive)
Voyez = see (this is an imperative)

Below I will post what we have gone over in class for your reference.

---------------

An infinitive is the full form of the verb, the unconjugated form.
Infinitives end in -ER, -RE, or -IR
It means "to do something"

E.g.
Voyager = to travel
Faire  = to do
Voir = to see

-----------------

An imperative is a command.
Imperatives end differently depending on the verb!
As learned, imperatives are conjugated using only three subjects: tu/nous/vous
We are focusing on vous because of the nature of our unit: travel agent!
(Vous can be used to talk to one person for polite-ness, or a group of people). 

Just like in English, when giving commands,
instead of saying "you travel" simply say, "travel" 

1. Conjugate the verb in the present tense
2. Find the vous form 
2. Take away the vous!

How do I conjugate in the present tense?
For Regular -ER verbs it's easy! You've learned how to do this.
You take off the -ER and add the endings.

je -e
tu -es
il/elle/on -e
nous -ons
vous -ez
ils -ent

For unfamiliar verbs (-IR and -RE) and irregular verbs (ones that don't follow the rules), you can use the website http://la-conjugaison.nouvelobs.com to help you.

e.g.

Verb: Voyager (to travel)

Vous voyagez -> Voyagez
You travel      -> Travel

 Verb: Faire (to do/make)

Vous faites -> Faites
You do/make-> Do/Make








Verb: Voir (to see)

Vous voyez -> Voyez
You see       -> See
