Lundi le 6 janvier 2014

Le 6 janvier!Many French Christians annually

celebrate Epiphany on January 6. It is a public holiday and marks two

events in the Christian Bible.

Epiphany is also called Twelfth Day - think "partridge in a pear tree" - because it comes twelve days after Christmas. The word is Greek for "appearance" and it marks the supposed date when les rois mages, the Magi - the Three Kings - appeared in Bethlehem. Whether wise men or kings, on January 6th, French bakeries blossom with galettes des rois, a thin pastry, often with almond paste filling and looking like a loaf of Middle Eastern unleavened bread. Or with brioches des rois, a crown-shaped specialty of southern France. In each you will find hidden a bean, or fève, to represent the Baby Jesus. Over the years the fève has become a little hard ceramic figurine of a crown or baby. As 2014 starts, let me wish you all amour et amitié, santé et prospérité - love and friendship, health and wealth - throughout the coming year!

F 2 ALL• F 2 Regulars only: I’m moving your daily oral grade of your slide

presentation to next 6 weeks so we have time to review material for exam!

• Lundi: Être verbs in the past tense: review, practice for oral grade (See slides & this link): F 2 preAP-last few presenters.then: C:\Users\dmccage\Desktop\F_2_oral_test_1_and_2 speaking packet.pdf

• Mardi: Oral grade: rest-APT & Past tense work • Mercredi: finish oral grade-APT & Past tense work• Jeudi-work in for 100, grade all, Q & A• Vendredi-Study hallWe can finish movies if all complete exam or the following Friday!

After exams: Finish oral presentations, supply check & finish movie. Then essay: 20 things you did over the break using the past tense & unit 2 speaking pkt.

F 2 :The Passé composé-perfect tenseIt is made with two things: 1. A helping verb (le verbe auxilaire) &2. A past participle (le participé passé)MOST of the time the helping verb is AVOIR. The past participle of a verb is the form that

generally corresponds to the –ed ending in English (played, changed, finished…) REGULARS:

• -ER verbs end in –é (manger mangé)• -RE verbs end in –u (vendre vendu)• -IR verbs end in –i (finir fini)

F 2: For most verbs it is made up of the present tense of avoir…

• J’ai…• Tu as…• Il/elle/on a…• Nous avons…• Vous avez…• Ils/elles ont…

We call this the auxiliary [helping] verb (le verbe auxilaire)

F 2: So how do we form the ‘past participle’ or le “participe passé”?

Firstly, for regular ER verbs• Start with the infinitive (l’infinitif)• EX: chanter• Take off the –er• So chanter chant• Add é• Chanté !• Elle a chanté ! She sang/did Sing/has sung!

F 2: Not all verbs end in ER. What about RE and IR verbs?

• To form the past participle of –re verbs• Take off the –re• Eg vendrevend• Add u• vendu

• To form the past participle of –ir verbs• Take off the –ir• Eg finir fin• Add i• fini

J’ai vendu mon vélo. J’ai fini mes devoirs!

AVOIR………>>>EU (had) J’ai eu un accident.ÊTRE……….>>>ÉTÉ (was/been) J’ai été malade.FAIRE……..>>>FAIT (did/made) J’ai fait du ski. METTRE…>>>MIS (placed/put) J’ai mis le café sur la table.

PRENDRE..>>>PRIS (Took/Had) J’ai pris un croissant.VOIR ………>>>VU (Saw/Seen) J’ai vu un café!

F 2 Some irregular verbs have weird past participles:

F 2: So we have the present tense of être and a past participle: Look at the “PP”!

• Aller: Je suis allé (e)… au café. • Tu es allé (e) • Elle est allée • Nous sommes allé (e)s• Vous êtes allé (e)s• Ils/elles sont allé (e)s

F 2: Did you notice that when we used être the past participle morphed to agree with the subject?

• For example: elle est venue en classe.

• Nous sommes arrivés au café.

But when we used avoir, there was no agreement…

• Nous avons parlé en classe.• Elle a choisi un chien.
