Hello everyone, 

Last time, we started working on the movie "Oliver Twist".

Thursday, January 21^st

(the twenty-first)

Oliver Twist, the movie by Roman Polanski

 

 

In this extract, the scene takes place in an orphanage.

We can see a lot of children, mostly boys, but the main character is Oliver Twist.

They are very poor, they don’t have enough food. So they are hungry.

Oliver drew the short straw and he lost. He had to go and ask for more food. He ran because the supervisor wanted to hit him with a stick.

How to make a question in the preterit

 

Pour construire des questions commençant par un mot en WH-, il y a deux possibilités :

 

1)  Certaines questions se forment avec le verbe/auxiliaire « be ».

Il se conjugue « was » aux personnes : I, he, she, it.

Il se conjugue “were” aux personnes: you, we, they.

On utilise “was/were” quand il n’y a pas d’autre verbe dans la question.

Ex :

ð Where was he born ?

ð Where were you born ?

 

2)  Certaines questions se forment avec l’auxiliaire « do », qui devient « did ». Ce « did » est un outil qui ne veut rien dire.

On l’utilise quand il y a un autre verbe dans la question.

Ex :

ð What did he like ?

 

 

HOMEWORK : 18th : learn the grammar lesson about questions.
