Jeudi 03/01

Today in class we learned some new expressions with the verb être (they can be found on pg 44 in the book.)  We discussed that il/elle can replace a noun (le livre, la voiture) to mean “it”.  We also reviewed the contraction of à + le (au) and à + les (aux).  During the 2^nd half of class, we returned to adjectives and learned the exception to the rule that adjectives come after the noun (see bottom of pg 46).  These adjectives are represented by the acronym BAGS (beauty, age, goodness, size).

Then continue with description.
