COLLABORATION ASSIGNMENT OPTION THREE You will need to complete only one collaboration each segment. Feel free to read these instructions so you know what to expect. There are four other options. Whenever you are ready to complete yours, you can submit it as assignment See your teacher s announcement page for more details on finding a partner. Lesson 4:02 Aller (It s time to learn another verb!) aller = to go Singular Je (I go) Tu (You go) Il (He goes) Elle (She goes) On [One goes, we go (informal)] Plural Nous (We go) Vous (You go) (You plural or formal when referring to older people or people you do not know very well or higher hierarchy) Ils [They go (masculine or mixed)] Elles [They go (feminine)] Imperative Commands (Command forms telling someone what to do) Va! (tu form) Allons! (nous form) Allez! (vous form)

3 Helpful Hints: With the verb aller you will use the preposition "à." à + le contract into " " EXAMPLE : Je vais au parc. à + les contract into " " EXAMPLE : Nous allons aux magasins. à + la stays the same EXAMPLE : Je vais à la boucherie. à + l' stays the same EXAMPLE : Nous allons à l'hôpital. Preposition à meanings : "À" + a city is "in" EXAMPLE: J habite à Miami. "À" + a place is "to the," "in the," or "at the" EXAMPLE: Vous allez au cinéma. More Helpful Hints: Note the following tips to help you with the verb "aller": When speaking, the "s" at the end of the word "vas" is, so "va" and "vas" are pronounced alike. In English "je vais" means " " or "." French uses only one form to express both meanings. In France, the pronoun "on," which means "people" or "one," is often used instead of "nous" to mean "we." " " is also used when you do not know exactly which people or how many people are involved. o Example: On aime les hot-dogs en France. o We express the same idea in English with "People do not like him" or "They say it is not so." You learned that the imperative form of verbs is used to give commands or to make suggestions: o Ecoutez! ("Listen!") o Allons à la plage! ("Let's go to the beach!") o When using the "tu" form as a command, the "s" is dropped:

4 o Va à la plage! (Go the the beach!). Allez à la plage! (Go to the beach!) Take some time to practice ALLER in the lesson.

Elle est derrière la table. What s? some Where are.? le, la, l, les ils/elles homework, class assignments over there or Aren t they? Those are, these are Take some time to practice your vocabulary in the lesson. Lesson 4:04 Les Adjectifs Possessifs Possessive adjectives are little words that show. Possessive adjectives will agree with the nouns they describe in (masculine and feminine) and in (singular and plural). Here is how you would say "my," "your," "his," "her," and "its." Matching : Match the English possessive adjectives to their French equivalents: my your his, her, its son, sa, ses ton, ta, tes mon, ma, mes

6 When do I use each one? You use, ton, and with masculine nouns. You use,, and sa with feminine nouns. You use mes,, and with plural nouns. Exception: If a noun starts with a vowel or an "h" you will use ",, " so you can make a liaison: mon affiche, ton affiche, son affiche. EXAMPLE: C'est la télé de Luc? Oui, c'est sa télé. (Is that Luc s TV? Yes, it s his TV.) C'est la télé de Marie? Oui, c'est sa télé. (Is that Marie s TV? Yes, it s her TV.) Notice that even though Luc is male and Marie is female, you would use the feminine possessive adjective "sa" because "télé" is feminine. Helpful Hints: The possessive adjective describes the (the thing that is owned), it does not matter if the owner is masculine or feminine. Did you notice? When you speak, make the with the "n" of "mon," "ton," and "son" before nouns beginning with a vowel sound: son(n)hôtel You will also make the with the "s" of "mes," "tes," and "ses" and pronounce the "s" like a "z" before nouns beginning with a vowel: mes(z)amis Take some time to practice possessive adjectives in the lesson.

7 Lesson 4:05 Les Adjectifs Possessifs Deux Matching : Match the English possessive adjectives to their French equivalents: our your their leur, leurs notre, nos votre, vos When do I use each one? You will use "," "," and " " with all singular nouns whether they are masculine or feminine. You will use "," "," and " " with all plural nouns. Did you notice? Do not forget the with the "s" of "nos," "vos," and "leurs" as a " " sound if it is followed by a noun beginning with a vowel. Helpful Hints: one person one object: c est mon, ma (my) ton, ta (your) son, sa (his, her, its) two or more objects: ce sont mes (my) tes (your) ses (his, her, its) two or more people one object: c est notre (our) votre (your) leur (leur) two or more objects: ce sont nos(our) vos (your) leurs (their) Take some time to practice the possessive adjectives in your notes.

8 Lesson 4.06 Les Nombres à Mille Take some time to review your notes in Module 2 on numbers Did you notice for 70? French does not have a specific word for so when we start to count from 70, we use the word and add ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen and so on. Look at these examples: 70 is + in French you would say soixante-dix 77 is + in French you would say soixante-dix-sept Matching: a) soixante-seize b) soixante-dix-neuf a) soixante-quatorze b) soixante-dix-huit c) soixante-quinze d) soixante-dix e) soixante et onze f) soixante-dix-sept g) soixante-treize h) soixante-douze

9 Did you notice for 80? The eighties are even more involved. Since we do not have a word for 80, we say "4 20s," or "quatrevingts." 80 is quatre-vingts. For 81-89, we add the digits 1 to 9 to quatre-vingt. Remember to include the " " at the end of quatre-vingts for 80. It is the only time it will have an "s." There is no " " on vingt for the numbers Matching: a) quatre-vingt-un b) quatre-vingt-trois c) quatre-vingt-sept d) quatre-vingt-huit e) quatre-vingt-cinq f) quatre-vingts g) quatre-vingt-neuf h) quatre-vingt-quatre i) quatre-vingt- deux j) quatre-vingt-six

10 Did you notice for 90? The nineties continue to use but you add the numbers from 10 to 19. To say 95 you would use quatre-vingt(80) and quinze(15), so the word for 95 is quatre-vingt-quinze. Look at the example: = 97 quatre-vingt-dix-sept Matching: a) quatre-vingt-dix-sept b) quatre-vingt-treize c) quatre-vingt-quinze d) quatre-vingt-dix e) quatre-vingt-dix-neuf f) quatre-vingt-quatorze g) quatre-vingt-douze h) quatre-vingt-seize i) quatre-vingt- onze j) quatre-vingt-dix-huit Did you notice for 100? Counting in French from 100 and up is super easy! We say "cent" which looks like the English word "cent;" but it is not the same way as in English. We say cent. Then we just start counting again: cent un, cent deux, cent trois, cent quatre, and so forth. cent cent un cent deux cent trois

11 Did you notice for more than 100? If we want to say more than 100, for example, 200, we just add the number two, deux, to make deux cents. When you write out the numbers 200, 300, 400, etc., add an "s" to cent. 100 = cent 200 = deux cents 300 = trois cents 400 = quatre cents Exception: The "s" is added to "cent" only in the hundred numbers: deux cents and trois cents, and so forth, but we would say "deux cent onze." Look at the following number 345: you first say the hundred "trois cent," then the number for 45 "quarante-cinq." So 345 is "trois cent quarante-cinq." Did you notice for 1000 and higher? Counting to in French is very easy because we are just going to say ", deux, trois, quatre, cinq..." all the way up to a million = mille = deux mille = trois mille = quatre mille Helpful Hints: Note that the French use a where we use a : When you write out the number 80, remember to include the " " at the end: quatre-vingts. There is no "s" on vingt for the numbers When you write out the numbers 200, 300, 400, etc., add an " " only in the exact 100 numbers: cent, deux cents, trois cents, but deux cent onze. Mille doesn't change to become plural: deux mille. Million adds an " " in the plural: un million, deux millions. Dates below 2000 may be said in two different ways: o mille six cent vingt or seize cent vingt o mille quatre cent quatre-vingt-douze or quatorze cent quatre-vingt-douze or quatorze cent quatre-vingt douze Dates above 2000 use mille only: deux mille deux.

12 Lesson 4.07: Les Adjectifs Comme Vert You have learned that French adjectives must agree with the they describe. You have learned that you have to make adjectives feminine by adding an " " and plural by adding an "." We have used only adjectives which ended with a vowel so the sound did not change: poli-polie Exception: Now you are going to study adjectives that have a different sound between masculine and feminine. Listen to the following in the lesson: Singular Plural Masculine Le pull est vert. Les pulls sont verts. Feminine La jupe est verte. Les jupes sont vertes. Did you hear the difference? Helpful Hints: The masculine forms of adjectives like vert end in a silent consonant. When you add the e to make an adjective feminine you will hear the and it will allow you to know that the adjective is. EXAMPLES: grand/grande, court/courte, gris/grise Some adjectives have a different spelling in the form, you will have to memorize them to be able to use them accurately. EXAMPLES: cher/chère, violet/violette, long/longue, blanc/blanche Adjectives in French come after the noun they describe except for a short list of adjectives. Do you remember what each letter stands for? o B o A o N o G o S Take some time to practice these adjectives in the lesson.
