Phrase of the day: compter sur quelqu'un
Students received two worksheets today, asking them to use certain time conjunctions and to decide whether the subjunctive would be appropriate in a variety of contexts. Students further examined these special words on the two-sided handout that was distributed, and differentiating between ones that use the indicative and those that use the subjunctive. Students will complete a paragraph activity on which they have to decide how to complete the blanks based on a variety of grammatical structures.
