Due lundi le 21Lab grade

Think of an événement

• Happy event• Funny• Embarassing• Scary• Surprising • But NOT SAD!!

(we’d feel awkward!)

Consider: What was already going on before event happened?

• How old were you?• What were you feeling• What did people look like/what

wearing,what was weather like, etc.• What actions were already in motion-

what was already going on?• These kinds of things would be

IMPARFAIT

What were the actual event/s?

• The thing that finally happens!

• (and any events leading up to it)

• These words will use passé composé

• Examples: I fell! He screamed! It jumped out at me! She tossed her cookies!” Etc.

How did you or other people respond or react?

• What they said?• (Il m’a dit….)

• How you felt (in this case reactionary)?• (J’ai été embarassé) – (I got embarassed)

• Results? (On s’est marié!)

• These kinds of things are usually passé composé

Feelings in PC vs IMP

• Usually, how you feel will be in imparfait. However, there is a slight difference when you use them in passé composé:

• J’ avais peur- I was scared• J’ai eu peur- I GOT scared• J’ étais malade- I was sick• J’ai été malade- I GOT sick

7 sentences minimum

• KEEP IT SIMPLE!

• It can get frustrating when you can’t express yourself as well in another language, so edit your complex sentences into shorter, children’s book level sentences. (see my examples)

• You can say more for extra credit!!!

Rubrik
