Talking about duration and time - Year 9

Bonjour Year 9, 

These are the steps to follow for the lesson this week. This is a difficult topic :( so if you struggle it will be normal... Try your best and send me questions). This topic will be revised in form 4.

1/ LISTENING - Livre Pixel pg. 50

a) Ecoutez les dialogues pg 50 Livre Pixel. Do ex 1. Match each dialogue to a part of the drawing. 

b) Reecoutez les dialogues et repondez aux questions - ex 2 et ex. 3

SEND ME your answers on a word document (ex 1,2,3)

2/ READ - Livre Pixel pg 51 

Read the red box and see how to use in sentences these words    en,  au mois de, a partir de, jusqu'au, depuis, pendant


Here are more examples and translations

en = in when talking about a date
eg. Je suis nee en fevrier. 
      Je suis allee aux Etats- Unis en 2005. 


au mois de = in the month of / in refering to a date as well
eg. Je suis nee au mois de juin
    

le = use this article for a date / day 
eg Le samedi, je joue au foot. (ie - on / every Saturday)
     Je suis nee le 10 janvier (ie - on the tenth of January..)


a partir de = Starting from (when talking about a date)

eg. Le nouveau cinema va ouvrir a partir du 1er septembre. 


Jusqu'a = until (when talking about a date) 
eg  Je reste a Paris jusqu'a la fin septembre
      J'ai jusqu'au 30 mars pour finir mes devoirs. 


depuis = refers to the duration of an action from time of departure til today. It is still ongoing at the moment we speak. Can be understood as Since in many instances.
Depuis combien de temps = For how long....? 
Depuis quand = Since when
eg Tu etudies le francais depuis combien de temps? Depuis 3 ans. 
Tu joues au basket depuis combien de temps? Depuis l'age de 5 ans. 

We tend to use depuis with the present tense since the action is still ongoing. 


Pendant = refers also to the duration. 
Pendant combien de temps = For how long...? 
eg. Pendant combien de temps tu as fait du foot ? Pendant 2 ans. 

We tend to use pendant with the passe compose. 


il y a - (literally when we want to say ...ago) This is not a duration. This happened and we say how long ago. This is not an ongoing action. 
Il y a combien de temps ? How long ago
eg. Il y a deux jours, il a fait du foot. (two days AGO)
      Je suis allee a Paris, il y a 2 ans. (2 years AGO)

We use it with the passe compose. 

3/ VIDEOS

A few links with more explanation online 

4/ EXERCISES - CAHIER Pixel pg 42/ 43

Work out the following exercises ex. 1,2,3,5

Send me a picture.

I hope you are keeping well and safe. 

You have until Sunday 29 March to send me the work in one email. 

You can do the work from the book in one word document and send me a photo of the workbook. 

The pronouns y and en are not too easy but i hope you understand a little bit. watch the videos again to grasp the concept better and send me an email if you have queries. 

Voici la leçon pour cette semaine. 

1/ Livre Pixel pg 58

a) Exercice 1 -  Ecoutez le micro-trottoir (interview in the street).
Repondez aux questions  a,b,c sur word et envoyez-moi les reponses par email. 

b) Lisez la boite sur le conditionnel present : 
J'aimerais = I would like (verbe aimer)
J'adorerais = I would love (verbe adorer)
Je souhaiterais = I would like (verbe souhaiter = to wish)
Je prefererais = I would prefer (verbe preferer)
Je voudrais = I would like (verbe vouloir)

These expressions are always followed by an infinitive. 
==> J'aimerais aller aux Etats-Unis pour les vacances. 

you can use these expressions to answer the questions of the exercise 1. 

2/ Reviser le nom des pays 

Regarder ce powerpoint pour reviser le nom des pays (masculin, feminin, pluriel) 
Powerpoint sur les pays (masculin, feminin, pluriel)
powerpoint sur les pays 2 (vocabulaire pays et nationalites)


3/ Grammaire

Regardez les videos. It is going to explain everything about the pronouns which is quite complex but at this stage you do not need to know all the uses of these pronouns. 

At your level , at least try to remember the following

a) 'y' refers to a place and often means 'there' and it often used in front of the verb. It used with verbs that have the preposition à -  like aller à, partir à... 

b) 'En' refers to your notes. We already worked on it. Quick reminder 1/ We use it to replace a quantity or the partitive.
==>  Tu veux du chocolat? Oui, j'en veux.
2/We use en to refer to a place with verbs that have the preposition de - like venir de, sortir de, revenir de...

Regardez ces powerpoints

Le fait divers

Bonjour Year 9,

As i informed you in my email yesterday, this is the lesson for the coming week (23-29 March).

Topic : les faits divers (news items such as robbery, accidents, castastrophies etc...)

Aim : understanding a news item in the press

To tackle this topic we need some vocabulary and  the passe compose (we already studied that) because it is usually reported in the past tense. This is not an easy topic (especially being far away from you!!) so take your time to study a few words and practice them.  

1/ Watch the video

You can  first watch this video and try to guess the meaning of the words you see in the video. 

2/ Quizlet - https://quizlet.com/_88bbfv?x=1jqt&i=1xed9z

Look at the flashcards and study the vocabulary. You can watch the video again and see if now you can figure out more words. 

I am adding the handout below for more vocabulary and you can check which words you remember and look up in a dictionary the words you do not know. You do not need to know all these words. 

3/ Livre Pixel 

a) Read the News Items on the book PIXEL pg 48. Also read the green box pg. 49  - "parler d'un fait divers" - and make sure you know/understand all these words.

b) answer the questions ex. 2 pg 49.  Basically you need to read the news items and correct the information in each sentence.
 Email me the answers.

c) ex. 3 pg 49. Continue the sentences using the information from the texts you read. 
Email me the answers. 

d) ex. 5 p. 49. Copy the box on word or on a paper and looking at the pictures pg. 48 and listening to the CD ex 5 p. 49 fill in the answers. 
Email me the answers. (send a word document or a photo of your work). 


4/ Cahier Pixel 

Work out pg 45.
Take a picture and send me by email. 

Email me for any difficulties you have but make sure to try first using a dictionary : https://www.wordreference.com/ 

5/ Further online activities you can try (not easy am afraid but you can try it out for a challenge - if you succeed let me know! ).

Crossword
Listening exercise


Deadline for all the homework is Sunday 29 March.  Please send all answers in one email with the title - PIXEL - LES FAITS DIVERS. 


These are not easy times, I just want you to try your best with what we have. 

Keep safe,

Ms Stephanie
