Here is a short dialog about people planning/doing leisure activities. Besides the new vocabulary you should also have a look
at how the verbs are conjugated depending on the subject of the sentence. The preposition à can indicate a destination, a location, a characteristic, measurement, a point in time, purpose,
and several other things which will be covered later. When le follows à , the à and le combine into au. Similarly, à and
les combine into aux. The preposition de can indicate an origin, contents, possession, cause, manner, and several other things which will
be covered later. When le follows de, the de and le combine into du. Similarly, de and
les combine into des. The verb aller is translated to to go. It is irregularly conjugated (it does not count as a regular -er
verb) as follows: Aller is used with the preposition à . Example: Je vais au stade. The verb venir is translated to to come. It is irregularly conjugated (it does not count as a regular -ir
verb) as follows: When it means to come from, venir is used with the preposition de. Example: Nous venons du
stade. You can also use venir with a verb to state that you have recently accomplished an action. Example: Je viens de
finir mes devoirs (I just now finished my homework). The verb jouer is a regular -er verb meaning to play. It can be used to refer to both sports and
instruments. When referring to sports, use jouer à , but when referring to instruments, use jouer de... As always, jouer must be conjugated rather than left in the infinitive. jouer (à ) jouer (de) |
