Of course, we must pay attention to the review process. You will be expected to translate the questions and answers from the previous lessons into French.

Now for something new. Read the text for leçon 3 (pp. 13-16) and use the text vocabulary sheet to try to figure out what everything means.

Your translation should be close to this

We will also have, of course, questions covering the leçon 3 story line. The Mise en oeuvre section concentrates on the major elements of the story, and you will be expected to be able to give the French equivalent of the story line questions and answers. Your exam materials will be taken from the following.

Question that begin with est-ce que (is it that) always take a yes or no answer.

Remember the Que (Qu') = What, so Qu'est-ce que questions are asking what and will be answered with a thing, in the case a story.

Qui = Who, so a person will be the answer, here Nous which means We.

Here are ten questions. Pick the appropriate answer and give the English meaning. Then go to the English equivalents and try to translate the English questions back into the original French.

1. Qu'est-ce que nous allons inventer?
2. Qui est-ce qui va inventer une histoire?
3. Pourquoi est-ce que nous allons inventer une histoire?
4. Est-ce que ça va être un jeu?
5. Qu'est-ce que le professeur va proposer?
6. Qui est-ce qui va discuter l'histoire?
7. Pourquoi est-ce que nous allons discuter l'histoire?
8. Est-ce que les jeunes gens vont avoir des amis?
9. Qui est-ce qui va choisir les amis?
10. Est-ce que le jeu va être amusant?

This exercise is similar to exercise 5. The only difference is that the Pourquoi questions will be answered with Parce que = Because. Do the same thing with this exercise. Pick the appropriate answer for the following questions. Give the English meaning. Try to translate the English questions back into French.

1. Pourquoi est-ce que nous allons répéter?
2. Qu'est-ce que nous allons apprendre?
3. Qui est-ce qui va répéter?
4. Est-ce que nous allons apprendre le français?
5. Qui est-ce qui va apprendre le français?
6. Pourquoi est-ce que nous allons apprendre le français?
7. Est-ce que nous allons répéter?
8. Ça va être utile?

The immediate future means that someone is going to do something and is formed with the present tense of the verb aller (to go) and a following infinitive. In the box for 3.29 we are contrasting the immediate future with the present tense.

Ils vont manger. = They are going to eat.
Ils mangent. = They eat. or They are eating.

Il va travailler. = He is going to work.
Il travaille. = He works. or He is working.

In 3.30 all four sentences are in the immediate future.

Nous allons apprendre le français. = We are going to learn French.
Je vais proposer une histoire. = I am going to propose a story.
Vous allez choisir des jeunes gens. = You are going to choose some young people.
Ils vont avoir des amis. = They are going to have some friends.

In 3.31 everything is again in the immediate future.
