2. <span style="color: blue; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">What do you do in your free time?</span></span><br />
3. <span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
4. <span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This is the question we answered last lesson. Many expressions describing leisure activities use the verb <span style="color: blue;">faire.</span> </span><br />
5. <span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
6. <span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Although </span>faire</span> literally means <span style="color: red;">to do</span> or <span style="color: red;">to make, </span>it crops up in many expressions and can be a bit of an 'all purpose' verb. <span style="color: blue;">faire </span>is an irregular verb which means that it does not follow a pattern and you just have to learn all its parts. </span><br />
7. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
8. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
9. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">                                     <span style="color: blue;">faire = </span><span style="color: black;">to do / to make</span></span><br />
10. <span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
11. <span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">                               je     fais            nous    faisons</span><br />
12. <span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">                               tu     fais            vous    faites</span><br />

16. <span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
17. <span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Many of these leisure activities reflect the interests of our group.</span><br />

This means that the infinitive ends in ER and follows a pattern. Approximately 85% of French verbs are regular ER verbs. To form the various parts of ER verbs (conjugate), you take away the ER from the infinitive and add the endings (in red). Here is an example, <span style="color: blue;">jouer</span> = to play</span></div>

586. <span style="color: black; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Learning the phrase <span style="color: blue;">à poil</span>, (which the French use  a lot for naked or stark naked) enabled us to share the joke about <span style="color: blue;">Doria Tillier</span> the Canal + weather forecaster (<span style="color: blue;">presentatrice du metéo</span>) who said that if France qualified for the football World Cup (<span style="color: blue;">La Coupe du Monde</span>), she would present the weather forecast <span style="color: blue;">à poil.</span> She was confident of a defeat  because the Ukraine had previously beaten France 2-0 in the first leg. Read on.....</span><br />
587. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
588. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">On 19th November France beat the Ukraine by a massive 3-0, so that was 3-2 on aggregate. <span style="color: blue;">Quelle horreur!</span> France qualified for the World Cup!!!  </span><br />
589. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
590. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">True to her word Doria presented the weather forecast <span style="color: blue;">à poil</span>, or rather <span style="color: blue;">à Poil</span>. Poil is a little village in Burgundy (<span style="color: blue;">La </span><span style="color: blue;">Bourgogne</span>) and Doria presented the forecast from there.</span><br />

866. <div style="text-align: left;">
867. <strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong> </div>
868. <div style="text-align: left;">
869. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Use the same tense in French as you would in English, so if you would say 'going to' in English, then in French use '<span style="color: blue;">aller</span> + infinitive (immediate future / <span style="color: blue;">le futur proche</span>). If you would say 'will do something' in English, then in French use the future tense (<span style="color: blue;">le futur</span>). </span></div>
870. <div style="text-align: left;">
871. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div>
872. <div style="text-align: left;">
873. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As in English, they are interchangeable and there will be occasions when you will hear or read the immediate future in French when we would use the future. Nevertheless, it works if you stick to using it as you would in English (trust me!)  </span></div>
874. <div style="text-align: left;">
875. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div>
876. <div style="text-align: left;">
877. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In English, we use the present tense in a 'future sense' e.g. <em><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm playing football tomorrow</span>. </em>It's exactly the same in French and you can use the present tense in this way as you would in English e.g.<span style="color: blue;"> <em><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Je joue au football demain.</span></em></span></span> </div>

3588. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">At the end of the lesson we touched briefly on how to type French accents.  </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There are two ways that I know of:</span><br />
3589. <br />
3590. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1) Use the Alt key + the accent code on your number pad. Make sure the number lock is on. Click on the <a href="http://french.about.com/od/writing/ss/typeaccents_7.htm" target="_blank">link</a> t</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">o find the list of codes. </span><br />
3591. <br />
3592. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2) Go to </span><a href="http://french.typeit.org/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">http://french.typeit.org/</span></a><br />
3593. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Type your text and then cut and paste it into your document </span><br />
3594. <br />
3595. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, what are French accents and what is their purpose? Here is a brief explanation:</span><br />
3596. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">accent aigu</span>  <span style="color: blue;">-</span> <span style="color: blue;">é</span></span></strong></span><br />
3597. <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Acute accent - always on letter <strong><span style="color: red;">e </span></strong>and alters the pronunciation. </span></span></span><br />
3598. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">e.g. <span style="color: blue;">Il travaill<span style="color: red;">e</span> </span>(silent <span style="color: red;">e</span> at the end of<span style="color: blue;"> travaille</span>)</span><br />
3599. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">       <span style="color: blue;">Il a travaill</span><span style="color: red;">é</span> (the <span style="color: red;">é</span> at the end of <span style="color: blue;">travaillé</span> is pronounced)</span><br />
3600. <br />
3601. <span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">é</span> at the beginning of a word means that, sometimes an <span style="color: red;">s</span> used to follow the vowel. You can see the <span style="color: red;">s</span> in some of the English equivalents.</span></span><br />
3602. <br />
3603. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">e.g. <span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: red;">é</span>tudiant</span> = student</span><br />
3604. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">       <span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: red;">é</span>table</span> = stable</span><br />
3605. <br />
3606. <span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">accent grave  - à, è, ù</span></strong></span><br />
3607. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Grave accent - does not always change the pronunciation but sometimes changes the meaning of a word.</span><br />
3608. <br />
3609. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">e.g. <span style="color: blue;">Il <span style="color: red;">a</span> trois enfants</span> (<span style="color: red;">a</span> = has)                               He has three children</span><br />
3610. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">       <span style="color: blue;">Il va <span style="color: red;">à</span> la piscine</span> (<span style="color: red;">à</span> = to)                                 He is going to the swimming pool</span><br />
3611. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">       </span><br />
3612. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">       Tu vas en voiture <span style="color: red;"><span style="color: blue;">o</span>u</span> en train?</span> (<span style="color: blue;">o</span><span style="color: red;">u</span> = or)           Are you going by car or train?</span><br />
3613. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">       <span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: blue;">O</span>ù </span>est la voiture? </span>( <span style="color: blue;">o</span><span style="color: red;">ù</span> = where)                       Where is the car?</span><br />
3614. <br />
3615. <span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>accent circonflexe - â, ê, î, ô, û</strong></span></span><br />
3616. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
3617. <span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Circumflex accent - does not alter the pronunciation. It sometimes alters the meaning of a word and sometimes means that an <span style="color: red;">s</span> used to follow the vowel.</span></span></span></div>
3618. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
3619. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

3622. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
3623. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">       <span style="color: blue;">for<span style="color: red;">ê</span>t</span> = forest</span></div>

3628. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
3629. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">       I would like some milk</span></div>

3641. <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
3642. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cedilla - like an upside down question mark always under the letter 'c'. It changes the sound from a hard <span style="color: red;">k</span> sound to soft <span style="color: red;">s</span> sound.  The cedilla is <b>never</b> placed in front of <span style="color: red;">e</span> or <span style="color: red;">i</span>, because <span style="color: red;">c</span> is always soft (sounds like an <span style="color: red;">s)</span> in front of these vowels.</span></span></div>
3643. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span><br /></div>
