practiceAu Travail! Write this exercise in your notebook. When you've finished, check your answers by clicking on the word to see if you got it right.

Answer these questions, responding to whether or not you like certain activities on certain days of the week.

1. Est-ce que tu aimes danser le lundi?
2. Est-ce que tu aimes travailler le samedi?
3. Est-ce que tu aimes écrire le samedi?
4. Est-ce que tu aimes nager le mardi?
5. Est-ce que tu aimes manger le dimanche?

Look at the way we express an affirmative question or statement: "I like" in French? (J'aime...) How about "you like"? (Tu aimes...).

First the subject pronoun, then the verb.

J'aime ...

Tu aimes ...

What about if you want to make it negative? I do not like... (Je n'aime pas...)

Same order with the subject pronoun first, then the verb BUT you have to add ne before the verb and pas after the verb.

Je n'aime pas...

Tu n'aimes pas...

The reason ne becomes n' is the same reason why je becomes j': the -e drops off in front of a vowel.


1. Est-ce que tu aimes danser le lundi?
2. Est-ce que tu aimes travailler le samedi?
3. Est-ce que tu aimes écrire le samedi?
4. Est-ce que tu aimes nager le mardi?
5. Est-ce que tu aimes manger le dimanche?



Let's talk about these things.

Go to Discussion 1f. Tell your classmates three activities that you like (or don't like) to do on a certain day of the week. Ask your classmates if they like to do at least one activity on a certain day of the week. Respond to another student's post while you are there or return to the discussion area to respond at a later time. Use complete sentences in French and only the activities that we have learned so far in the course.
