masculine. Since the third person plural of many verbs and some adjectives also end in -ent, look carefully at the context so as to know if you are pronouncing the noun or the adjective with its nasal sound or the verb ending which is always silent.)

APTITUDES (f.) ET PRÉFÉRENCES (f.) aptitudes and preferencesLes métiers (m.) manuels manual trades

un mécanicien / une mécanicienne a mechanicun électricien / une électricienne an electricianun plombier / une plombière a plumberun agriculteur / une agricultrice a farmer

_____ Complete the point de départ activities in the workbook.Your instructor will check the free responses during your workbook check appointment. If you have questions regarding these exercises or the responses, take notes so that you can be sure to ask your instructor during your workbook appointment.

Info-Culture: Les Français au travail. Read the information on p. 246 and complete the activity in the Pour mieux comprendre la culture francophone section.

Pas-à-pas: Exploration I

Les verbes vouloir, pouvoir, et devoir

_____ In this section, you will learn how to talk about what you want to do, what you can do, and what you have to do.

_____ Read the Exploration on pp. 247-248._____ Complete the activities in the Les verbes vouloir, pouvoir, et devoir section in the workbook. Your instructor will check the free responses during your workbook check appointment. If you have questions regarding these exercises or the responses, take notes so that you can be sure to ask your instructor during your workbook appointment.

Pas-à-pas: Exploration II

Les pronoms compléments d’objet direct

_____ In this section you will learn how to avoid repetition in your speaking and writing. Anyone who progresses beyond just the basics in a language wants to be capable of varying his/her style by using pronouns to replace things or people already spoken about in the previous sentence or clause. The direct object pronouns that you will learn can replace proper nouns or nouns modified in a variety of ways, such as with definite, possessive, or demonstrative articles. The direct object pronouns one uses must always agree in number and gender with the original nouns they replace. Usually they will be placed before the verb of the sentence in which they are found, but when there is both a conjugated verb and an infinitive in the sentence, the direct object pronoun should be placed before the infinitive. Even the brief demonstrative constructions Voici! and Voilà! are considered verbs, so direct object pronouns can precede them as well.

_____ Read the Exploration on pp. 247-248._____ Complete the activities in the Les pronoms compléments d’objet direct section in the workbook.


Your instructor will check the free responses during your workbook check appointment. If you have questions regarding these exercises or the responses, take notes so that you can be sure to ask your instructor during your workbook appointment.

Pas-à-pas: Exploration III

Le subjonctif avec il faut et il vaut mieux

_____ In this section, you will learn how to talk about what you have to do or think it best to do. Il faut que, il ne faut pas que, il vaut mieux que, and il vaudrait mieux que are the first of a group of expressions that you will learn to use that communicte these ideas. Although the subjunctive is not another tense, it is a mood, you should learn the new construction just as you would learn a new tense. The construction is used in the first clause of a two clause sentence. These sentences have three parts: (1) the introductory expression that “runs up a red flag” which tells you that the verb in the clause to follow must be in the subjunctive, (2) the linking word que which ties the two clauses together (which translates as “that”. Unfortunately, we often leave out the “that” in English. It takes attention to detail to remember it in French, at first.) (3) the second clause in which the verb must be conjugated in the subjunctive mood.

_____ Read the Exploration on pp. 256-257._____ Complete the activities in the workbook. Your instructor will check the free responses during your workbook check appointment. If you have questions regarding these exercises or the responses, take notes so that you can be sure to ask your instructor during your workbook appointment.

Pas-à-pas: Exploration I

Parler de vos achats et ventes: Les verbes comme vendre

_____ In this section, you will learn to use verbs that have infinitives that end in –re like vendre.To conjugate these verbs one adds the following endings to the stem which is provided by removing the –re of the infinitive

-s -ons je vends nous vendons-s -ez tu vends vous vendez-- -ent il, elle vend_ ils, elles vendent

Other verbs that are conjugated like vendre are:attendre to wait for, to expectdéfendre to forbid, to defendentendre to hear Notice the difference in meaning between

this verb, to hear, and écouter, to listen.perdre to lose, to waste This verb is often used with du temps to

mean “to waste time.”répondre (à) to answer When you notice the preposition à after a


verb that means you need to memorize italong with the verb and use it after the verbwhen it is followed by an infinitive.

rendre + noun to hand back, returnrendre + adjective to make The French don’t used the verb faire in the

sense of “to make someone happy.” They use rendre instead.

rendre visite à to visit (a person) One visits a place: On visite la Tour Eiffel.But

On rend visite à une personne.Less formally, one can also “go see someone.” On peut allez voir sa tante.

One forms the past participle of all of these verbs by replacing the –re with –u.

Just like in English, the “you” (tu and vous) are understood and should not be written or spoken in a French command. Unlike English, the “us” or “’s” of “let’s” is also understood in French suggestions. The imperative is used in many common expressions; but on signs, in advertisements, billboards, instruction manuals, and recipies the imperative is often replaced by an infinitive structure.
