Draw in the clock faces, as it says below in French, draw the time using clock hands (as you have done for "Il est sept heures"

The 2nd one asks you to connect the dots to what the class/subject they would most like from what they have said

[eternal harbor]

LMFAO 😂

I got scared for a second lmao

Hey i got a question

How is shakespeare related to English

[grave kite]

its somethign you study in english

maybe further down the line in gcse

[eternal harbor]

Oh

Tysm

[eternal harbor]

@grave kite

Hey u there

Je ___ en france avec ma famille

Do i put voyage or voyages

[grave kite]

what do u thijnmk

[eternal harbor]

I think voyages

[grave kite]

no

its je voyage

[eternal harbor]

Why?

[grave kite]

because

[eternal harbor]

Ive been taking if there is tu or je i have to put an s at the end

[molten wasp]

To be fair, the conjugation for « je » can be messy. « tu » does end with -s but for « je » it depends on the verb ending.

-er verbs: no -s (je parle, je voyage, je constate)
-ir verbs: -s (je finis, je définis, je pars)
-re verbs: -s (je confonds, je défends, j'atteins, je conduis, je lis)

Thought that's a massive simplification and you shouldn't look at just the final letter

[eternal harbor]

Oh ty

@grave kite

[molten wasp]

np though don't look at just the final letter because irregulars can trip you up there

[eternal harbor]

I want to write smt about my grandpere but idk how to start it

Is grandpere mon or ma or

[grave kite]

mon cuz its masculine

[molten wasp]

mon, since « grand-père » is masculine

[grave kite]

ma grandmère tho

[eternal harbor]

Oh

[grave kite]

cuz grandMOTHER

[eternal harbor]

So i can write mon pere s’appelle tom. Il a soxiante ans?

[grave kite]

ouais

but

accents

père

[molten wasp]

sounds great though you said « père » which is 'father' whereas earlier you said « grand-père » which is 'grandfather'

just wanted to say that in case you were mistaken

[eternal harbor]

Yeah ur right

[molten wasp]

also it's soixante

[eternal harbor]

Can u guys tell me a big number that is easy

To memorize

Ngl soixante is hard

[molten wasp]

anything below 69 (nice)

also why would we tell you that

idk how old your grandfather is

[eternal harbor]

He is dead and i think he was 90

So i have to make up an easy age

[molten wasp]

… okay

anything under 69

[grave kite]

noce

[molten wasp]

nice

70–99 is cursed for a beginner

[grave kite]

unless youre swiss

or belgiab

[molten wasp]

yeah but 80-89 for Belgians are still cursed

[eternal harbor]

I wrote about my mom and dad and my grandma and grandad and brother and sister

I have to write another one

Hmmm

Maybe step sister

Or step brother

[eternal harbor]

Hey guys

I have a question

What do i do in question 4

[molten wasp]

If you can answer 2, you can answer 4

They probably just forgot to put brackets around (le 23 janvier)

[eternal harbor]

Not this

The above question

[molten wasp]

Basically guess what Emmanuel asked by Roger’s answers

[eternal harbor]

Bro how am i supposed to guess 😭😭😭😭

[molten wasp]

For example, if Roger said, ‘I like flowers, a lot of them’, it means that liking flowers must’ve been the question

[eternal harbor]

Oh

[molten wasp]

another example

if Roger said, ‘No, I don’t like swimming often’, what do you think Emmanuel asked?

[eternal harbor]

Do u like swimming

[molten wasp]

remember to put often

[eternal harbor]

Ohhh

[molten wasp]

in a lot of cases it’s just changing the subject

[eternal harbor]

So i have to paste the answer to the question

Oh i got it

[molten wasp]

Yes but it’s not always word for word

[eternal harbor]

Oh

For example for the non je fais rarement du velo

I will right tu fais rarement du velo?

[molten wasp]

For example, if Roger said, ‘I like swimming a lot and sometimes I go for a run’ the overarching question here is sports so the appropriate question is closer to, ‘What sports do you like to do?’

[molten wasp]

Notice that non, it’s disagreeing

That means the question is the opposite of the answer

[eternal harbor]

Brooo this is so hard 😭😭😭

[molten wasp]

‘Do you rarely ride your bike?’
‘No, I rarely ride my bike.’

Makes no sense does it?

[eternal harbor]

No

[molten wasp]

This is standard in every language learning course

[molten wasp]

Exactly so look at the response as well

Since it’s disagreeing, it’s more likely he asked, « Tu fais souvent du vélo ? »

Since souvent (often) is the opponent of rarement (rarely)

[eternal harbor]

Oh

I have to use souvent right

[molten wasp]

Read.

[eternal harbor]

Oh ok

[eternal harbor]

Hey

For the last one it transalte because its boring right

For example what question can i write for it

[molten wasp]

It’s related to the third one

if I go

Me: Do you swim often?
You: No, I swim rarely.
Me: …
You: Because I’m not good at it.
What did I ask you?

Hint: ||What question when asked gives the answer ‘Because’?||

[eternal harbor]

Do u swim often

[molten wasp]

bruh

the dotted one

[eternal harbor]

The third

Bro im so confused

[molten wasp]

I’m too tired for this, what question gives you because? WHY.

Why didn’t you come to school? BECAUSE I was sick.

Why am I tired? BECAUSE I didn’t sleep enough.

[eternal harbor]

Yes

Ohhh

[molten wasp]

Great so now you know the answer

[eternal harbor]

Because rarment du velo

Right?

[molten wasp]

In part yes

[eternal harbor]

Hmm

[molten wasp]

The real reason is because the response started with « parce que »

[eternal harbor]

Ohhh

[molten wasp]

It’s just that it’s connected to the third question because it doesn’t specify what exactly is boring Roger meaning that it’s been already noted previously

Parce que = Because btw

In case you don’t know

[eternal harbor]

Parce que rarement de veko

Velo

[molten wasp]

n-no

that’s not the answer to the blank

Is there no example of this dialogue anywhere in your book?

[eternal harbor]

Bruh i never took this in my life

I swear

[molten wasp]

Anyway I already gave you the reasoning

You make the answer

I am going to bed

[eternal harbor]

Bro please

[molten wasp]

Me: Do you swim often?
You: No, I swim rarely.
Me: [Why do you swim rarely?]
You: Because I’m not good at it.

Have fun translating

[eternal harbor]

ohhhh

SO IM RIGHT

Because rarement de velo

[eternal harbor]
