Hello everyone,

Today, we continued working on the preterit.

Here is the lesson:

Pronunciation: [ed] : se prononce soit [t], soit [d], soit [id].

-       [id] : example : wanted. (want)

                             Decided (decide)

Lorsque le verbe à l’infinitif se termine par le son [t] ou le son [d], on ajoute le son [id].

-       [d] : quand le son final du verbe fait vibrer les cordes vocales, on ajoute le son [d] (qui fait aussi vibrer les cordes vocales). Ex : arrived (arrive)

                                              [d]

- [t] : quand le son final du verbe ne fait pas vibrer les cordes vocales, on ajoute le son [t] (qui ne fait pas vibrer les cordes vocales non plus). Ex : passed (pass)  [t]

(the second)

Some and any

-       “Some” s’utilise dans des phrases affirmatives.

Ex : I’d like some ice-cream.

-       “Any” s’utilise dans les phrases interrogatives.

Ex : Do you want any biscuits ?

-       “Any” s’utilise dans les phrases négatives.

Ex : We haven’t got any tea.

“Would like”

Ne pas confondre “I like” (j’aime) et “I’d like” (j’aimerais).

« would like » se conjugue de la même manière à toutes les personnes.

On ne prononce pas le « l » de « would » : [wʊd]

Examples: I would like some tea / I’d like some tea.

                    Would you like wine, Sir/Madam?

Listening: write all the questions:

Children wore costumes and      told poetry or jokes or sang in

           (wear/porter un vêtement) (tell/dire, raconter)

exchange for money, food and wine.

The preterit

Il sert à parler d’un événement passé, terminé.

-       Les verbes réguliers : ils portent la terminaison –ed.

Ex : wanted : l’infinitif « want » + la terminaison –ed.

-       Les verbes irréguliers : il faut les apprendre.

Ils se conjuguent chacun différemment.

Ex : wear devient wore.

-       Les verbes réguliers et irréguliers restent conjugués de la même façon à toutes les personnes.

ð Exception : le verbe « be » (être)

I, he, she, it: was

You, we, they: were

Exercise: form the verb in the preterit:

1)She was (be) absent yesterday.

2)We were (be) late this morning...

3)I was (be) sick last week.

4)My mother visited (visit) London during her holidays.

5)My friends talked (talk) to the President of the U.S.A.

6) My brother was (be) happy when he received (receive) his present.

Pronunciation of –ED

-       Le son [id]: ex: visited / exploded.

Quand le verbe à l’infinitif termine par le son [t] ou [d], on ajoute le son [id].
