Key learning points
- There are many 'Francophone' (French-speaking) countries to explore around the world.
- French and English are spoken in Quebec as the province was a French and English colony.
- [e] is pronounced as in 'je'.
- 'Mettre' follows the same pattern of endings as 'entendre', but loses a -t- in the 'je', 'tu' and 'il/elle' forms.
Keywords
[e] - pronounced as in 'je'
Conjugated (verb) - verb changed to match its subject and tense
Common misconception
I can conjugate 'mettre' and 'remettre' exactly like 'entendre'.
'Mettre' and 'remettre' do take the same verb endings as 'entendre'; however, they also drop a 't' in the singular present tense forms.
The level of challenge could be differentiated by making task C3 a full translation of the text or reducing the size of the text.
