Pogroms in Russia - The Story of Jacob

06.01.2012

Hi guys,

as some of you were absent since there was a special Portuguese class, we will do the vocabulary test on Wednesday.

So we talked more about the story of Jacob in the video. Here is what we said about it:

The main character (actions)

- He sees / saw them arrive.
- He sees / saw his companions being killed.

- He warns / warned his father that the soldiers are coming.
- His father is / was killed by a soldier in front of him.
- He screams / screamed.
- He tries / tried to escape.
- he is / was shot by a soldier in the right leg.
- He falls / fell down, gets up / got up and limps / limped.
- He frightens / frightened a horse with a torch.
- He kills / killed a soldier.
- He flees / fled his village on a horse.

Present / preterit

Then we continued with reviewing how to build the preterit in English (regular and irregular verbs) + how to pronounce the /ED/ ending.

Verbes réguliers au prétérit:

[d] ---> Le dernier son du mot fait vibrer les cordes vocales.

ex: warn, scream, try, kill.

[t] ---> Le dernier son du mot ne fait pas vibrer les cordes vocales.

ex: escape.

[id] ---> Le dernier son du mot se termine par les sons [d] ou [t], il faut donc le prononcer [id] pour éviter la répétition.

ex: need, want, respond.

HW:

- apprendre la leçon

- réviser pour le contrôle de vocabulaire qui n'a pu avoir lieu ce matin.

- commencer à réviser la liste des verbes irréguliers (d'ici deux mois votre liste devra être intégralement connue...).
