We've been working on the unit "Le grand voyage!" (The big trip!)

To practice our listening skills we've been watching this movie

and doing some activities with new and learned vocabulary.

We have completed 3 activity sheets:

1 - "Le Petit Nicolas, un classique de la littérature française" the magazine article with Sandrine

2 - Vocabulary matching, and matching descriptions to people from the movie

3 - Reading a postcard and answering questions on it.

You will have a listening test next class

it is based on the vocabulary learned in the activity sheets.

DAY 2: Thursday

DAY 1: Friday 

I will post a translation of the postcard below, under the cut. 

Keep working on Duolingo!

After the listening test we will be reviewing all of the grammar points learned this unit along with some vocabulary, and then you will get started on your final projects for the unit!

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

QUIZ NEXT CLASS
Mon (day1)
Tues (day2)

- 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 :)
