Vos devoirs pour le week-end

11:30 class: My French Lab ex. 7-38, 7-42, 7-43  + correct your quiz (optional but recommended!!) - next to the correct answer write a brief justification in English for the tense (ie - "background," "habitual action," etc). If you need to review uses of the imperfect vs. p.c., pgs 211 and 217 should be quite helpful. :)

2:30 class: choose two pronominal verbs from the list on page 224 (Ch. 7 L.3 Formes et Fonctions 1) and write out the conjugations of each verb in the present tense, imperfect tense, and passé composé. (note: pronominal verbs take être as the auxiliary in the passé composé) ; My French Lab ex. 7-33, 7-35, 7-36

Quiz Monday (2:30 class only): les sentiments + "Qu'est-ce qu'on dit quand on perd son sang-froid?"

Bon week-end!

2:30 class: Help us get caught up on Friday by reading over the vocabulary introduced at the beginning of Ch. 7 Lesson 3 "Les Sentiments" and "Qu'est-ce qu'on dit quand on perd son sang-foid?" Also review reflexive pronominal verbs from Ch.3, L.1 and then read over "Les verbs pronominaux idiomatique" in Ch. 7 L.3, "Formes et Fonctions" 1.

Bonne journée de neige!!

composition abbreviations

Here are the abbreviations you'll need for your composition. Please look up each one that appears on your composition and make sure you understand them before you start rewriting. I realize that my handwriting is kind of illegible at times so ask me if you don't understand something.

devoirs pour le 20

Whoops sorry I forgot to post this! (It's still due tomorrow though!:) )  My French Lab 7-26, 7-27, 7-28

pc/imparfait practice

Yet another update: Here is the jours fériés worksheet from 2/13 if you didn't get a copy.

Here is a little more imperfect/pc practice plus answers.

Here is some passé composé vs imparfait practice that Mr. Ayi gave to the 2:30 class, similar to what you'll have for the quiz Monday.

Here are the answers with explanations. It's quite normal to be going along thinking you've got it and then to get a few wrong so don't worry. A lot of times it helps to translate the verb in question into English and ask which sounds bettter: X was doing Y (imperfect) or X did Y (pc).

Keep checking the blog -- I might post some more practice if I find anything good.

For Friday, do My French Lab exercises 7-19 and 7-20.

Then read over page 217 in the textbook (Lesson 2, Formes et Fonctions, "l'imparfait et le passé composé: d'autres contrastes") and practice forming the two verb tenses by writing out the imperfect and passé composé conjugations for two verbs: essayer and partir (hint: one uses avoir in the passé composé and one uses être.) I'll collect this at the beginning of class. No quiz!
