3. Learning intentions
 Say which country you live in
 I live in  J’habite en/au + country
 Example : J’habite en France .
 Tips : check if your country is masculine or feminine. That will change the “en/au”.
 Tips : do not forget to take off the article : J’habite en l’Angleterre is
INCORRECT
 Describe the subjects that you study in school

Au collège, j’étudie les mathématiques, le Francais et le sport mais
je n’étudie pas l’espagnol
 Tips : add “mais” meaning “but” to extend your sentences.
 Tips : use the negative in Spanish (before the conjugated verb) to say what
you do not study. For that, think about HULK, part 1 = NE/N’, part 2 : PAS
 Tips: always use the sentence starter “au collège ”

Express whether you like / dislike those subjects
 J’aime le Francais
 Je n’aime pas le Francais
 J’adore le Francais
 Je déteste le Francais
 Tips: use “et” which means “and”
 Tips: do not forget the accents and avoid repetitions.
 Describing your teachers & using this to justify why you
like / dislike a subject.
 J’aime le Francais parce que la prof est gentille
 Je déteste le Francais parce que le prof est méchant
 Tips : You need to remember the adjective agreement depending on
whether you are describing a male or female teacher.
 Tips:do not forget “est” which mean “is”.
 Tips : make sure you have “parce que” is your sentence
 When you study lessons and expressing time
 Au collège, j’étudie les mathématiques à six heures et quart.
 Tips : do not forget “à” which mean “at” and “heures”
