7th Grade scholars are working on regular -er verbs. We know what they mean already, but now they will be using them in their reading, speaking and writing. In English, we conjugate verbs all the time, but in French we are taking it step by step. These verbs all follow the same pattern:
-Start with the infinitive (- er form)
-Take off the -er to create a "stem"
-Attach the correct ending to the stem (depending on the subject)
For the verb parler, create the stem parl- to create...
je parle
tu parles
il/elle parle
nous parlons
vous parlez
ils/elles parlent
Now students can take any -er verb and use it correctly! Students can access the Quia link to the right for extra practice.
Eighth Grade scholars are working on vocabulary for house/home and community and nieghborhood.
