Feedback after the presentations from me and your peers:
- Speaking slowly and clearly is important
- Using student-friendly language (words your friends in class know!) is a good idea
- Pictures! Find ones that relate to what you're talking about (possibly even a collage of pictures!)
*Also, I have corrected this a few times: when saying the date, you do not say "à 29 novembre" you do say "le 29 novembre"
**For the project, I do not want you to find an article and read it as you found it out-loud. I also do not want you to translate the article and then put it into Google Translate. Find the qui/quoi/quand/comment/où/pourquoi (see what applies!), make simple sentences using words you know, and then make it a little more complex by adding a relative pronoun = combining two sentences that have the same subject or object.
We then started to review passé composé (regular verbs, with avoir), including the negative placement.
REMEMBER:
Passé composé is composed of two parts:
the AUX (avoir/être) + PP (past participle)
Avoir (aux) Regular verbs
J'ai -ER = É e.g. Je (manger) -> J'ai mangé
Tu as -IR = I e.g. Vous (choisir) -> Vous avez choisi
Il a -RE = U e.g. Il (vendre) -> Il a vendu
Nous avons
Vous avez
Ils ont
The negative -> the negative goes like headphones around the first verb
Present tense: Je ne mange pas la pomme
Futur Proche: Je ne vais pas manger la pomme
Passé composé: Je n'ai* pas mangé la pomme
* n' when there is a vowel following it. You can't say "ne ai"
We also talked about different negative 'headphones'
ne... pas (not), ne... rien (nothing), ne... jamais (never)
- they look different (and mean different things), but they work the same way!
You can also remember where to add the negative to the passé composé by thinking about the "aux" (ox) doing all the work (or pretend the ne...pas are the horns!)
We will do more work on this tomorrow, don't forget to do Duolingo 10XP
