Comment vous appellez vous? Slide 5 French has two ways to say the word you! Vous ( Formelle) people you dont know, your boss, teachers! Tu (Informelle) friends, people your own age, family! English had this same system until the 12 th century! Slide 6 Cest important noter que: Apeller is a verb that begins with un voyelle! [ A, E, I, O, U ] When you have a pronoun that ends in s [Nous, Vous], the S sound becomes a Z sound next to a word that begins with a vowel, and that Z sound links them together! This part of pronunciation is called un liaison, en franais! The ~ mark here denotes where to make the liaison! Comment vous~ appellez-vous? Comment nous~appellons-nous? Slide 7 A reflexive verb [fr: verbe reflexif] is a verb that is used when the subject and direct object of a sentence are the same. A reflexive verb uses a subject pronoun, and then an object pronoun [Subj. pronoun] + [Obj. Pronoun]+[Conjugated verb] Review: Tu manges un pomme Direct Object Subject If your friend were an apple (which theyre probably not!) you could say Tu te manges! Slide 8 Singulier Je me Tu te Il/Elle/On se Pluriel Nous nous Vous vous Ils/Elles se Slide 9 Appeller is just a simple -er verb at heart! It has a stem, and an ending, like any other -er verb! Lets conjugate appeller, before we make it reflexive! Jappelle Tu appelles Il/Elle/On appelle Nous appellons Vous appellez Ils/elles appellent Slide 10 Madness? This is French Class! Like in english, sometimes the French have vowels that they dont say When there is an unspoken vowel, we replace it with an apostrophe ( ) English: I cant go out tonight! (Cannot = cant) French Je mappelle Jean Wait a minute wasnt there an e there a second ago? Yes, there was! The mark always replaces the e on the object pronoun, not the Subject pronoun! Slide 11 Choose a pronoun! Je me Tu te Il/elle/on se Nous nous Vous vous Ils/elles se Match it up! appelle appelles Appelle Appellons Appellez appellent Slide 12 Thanks for tuning in!
