Course Saturday, December 4, 2010 Cours du Samedi
We finished the lesson No. 1 "BAR ITALIA" revising some rules on the supplies and tense. Then Maria asked us to try to translate some jokes (Barzellette) French to Italian without much success! We also began the lesson No. 2 by making a list of pros and cons of living alone or in pairs.
This list is complete for next class.
Warning Maria can not ensure the next course of Saturday, December 11. Séverine should contact us this week if she is able to provide this course.
COMPOUND PAST :
transitive verbs are combined with the auxiliary "PROVES" whereas with intransitive verbs must use the auxiliary "ESSERE".
The same verb can be combined with either "proven" or with "ESSERE", as it is used transitively or not
Examples: Ho finito di
leggere libro it (I finished reading my book) vacanze sono finite
The (The holidays are over)
The use of the auxiliary "ESSERE" always entails the agreement of past participle with the subject.
Examples:
Maria e USCIT has . (Maria is out)
Eric Christine e sono i USCIT . (Eric and Christine came out)
As for French, with the auxiliary "proven", there is no agreement unless the direct object is placed in front.
Example: I libri, li ho comprat i ieri. ( The books I bought yesterday)
Our homework for December 18!
- Writing a joke quite short and simple Italian or French.
- Read Lesson No. 2 (Pages 14 to 19)
A presto - Bruno
