French 102 - Leçon 17 - Petit déjeuner du matin
À la pratique:
1. Les plats. Turn to page 246 in CONTACTS and activate the use of the vocabulary, with your partner,
for food using the definite articles: “le , la, les” with the following verbs: “J’aime.., J’adore…, Je
préfère…, Je n’aime pas…, Je n’aime pas tellement…, Je déteste…” Then, turn to page 247 and
complete exercises 1, 2, and 3, orally by taking turns with your partner. Now write down what you like
to eat for breakfast and lunch using, “J’aime manger…”

2. L’article partitif “du, de l’ de la, de l’, des”. Turn to pages 248-250. You have learned that the
partitive article is used when speaking about food for parts or some quantities of food items. For
example, “Je voudrais du pain.” demonstrates how to use the partitive article. If you are requesting
whole items of food, at the table or in a restaurant, you will be using the indefinite articles, “ un, une,
des”. For example, you would use, “Je voudrais un oeuf.”, when you are requesting a food item that is
served as a whole part. Now begin and complete exercise 4 on page 249, and exercises 5 and 6 on page
250, with your partner, by taking turns speaking until you have completed the exercises. Finally, write
down 4 food items that you eat at dinner by using the partitive articles, and 2 food items that you eat at
dinner as a whole by using the indefinite article.

3. Le verbe “boire”. Practice the pronunciation of the present tense of the verb in all 6 persons and
forms with your partner. Also notice that the “passé composé” of the verb is, “J’ai bu”. You and your
partner will now be completing exercises 7 and 8 on page 251 by using the partitive articles with the
verb “boire”. After finishing the exercises, write down your 3 favorite drinks by writing, “J’aime boire…”

with the partitive articles.

4. L’article partitif au négatif. Turn to pages 253-254 to begin the exercises 10, 11 and 12, which require
the use of “ne…pas de” to negate the partitive articles, “du (de l’), de la (de l’), des”. Please notice in
the middle of page 253, that “ne… pas de” is never used with the verb “être”, but rather, the partitive
articles are to be used instead. Now begin the exercises by taking turns with your partner. After you
have finished the exercises, please write 3 sentences about food or drinks that you never eat or drink.

5. L’emploi idiomatique de “faire”. You have already learned and practiced using the verb “faire” in a
previous lesson. Review the present tense of the verb here: “je fais, tu fais, il/elle fait, nous faisons,
vous faites, ils/elles font”. (Do not forget that the passé composé of “faire” is “j’ai fait”.) Now
complete exercise 9 on page 252 with your partner. Afterwards, please ask your partner 3 questions,
and vice versa, with the inverted verb format (Fais-tu…?), then write down your partner’s 3 answers and
your partner will do the same with your answers.
