Writing

I have been marking the writing.
Here is a summary of typical mistakes, corrected
mon anniversaire est le cinq mai (formula for date : le + cardinal number (except premier) then month, no “of” no “c’est)
j’aime les chats et les chiens mais je n’aime pas les souris (plural –s which you don’t pronounce, use of the definite article (the) after likes, dislikes)
use of avoir (have) with age il a 20 ans / ils ont 5 et 7 ans
elle est petite et a 3 ans (you need the a as the verb has changed)
je ne suis pas + adjective = I am not tall/ happy/ married etc
je regarde la télévision / j’aime regarder la télévision
j’aime le théâtre / j’aime aller au théâtre (j’aime followed by the infininitive –er)
du vin / beaucoup de vin / un verre de vin use of “de” after beaucoup and amounts
l’école / une école difficulty with l'
et = and
the ability to spell some basic voc eg soeur frère deux
