On va examiner la fonction de chaque pièce d'une maison. {we will examine the function of each part of a house.}
Did you notice the word "on" above? Nowadays, "nous" is used mostly in formal writing. In regular speak you want to use "ON". It means "people". Like saying "everybody is going to the dance." So, "on" is conjugated as a single person -- just like Il or Elle.
Dans cette leçon, on va chanter une chanson sur la fonction de chaque pièce de la maison. {In this lesson, we will sing a song about the function of each room of the house.}

{ Sing in the living room!
Chorus: Let's all sing a song about the rooms of a house. What are we doing in each room of a house? In which room do we sleep? In which room? In which room? We sleep in the bedroom When we are very tired! In which room do we play? In which room? In which room? We play in the recreation room and we watch the television! Chorus In which room do we eat? In which room? In which room? We eat in the dining room We eat all day! In which room do we cook? In which room? In which room? We cook in the kitchen We prepare the sardine! Chorus In which room do we sing? In which room? In which room? We sing in the living room and this is the end of our song! } |

Now, go back to the illustrations on pages 6 - 7 (above). See all the alines doing different activities. Identify which illustration goes with each action.
We will now sing the song several times until we got it really good, and then try to sing it without the voiceover!!! Just with instrumentals. :D
Maintenant, regardez les pages 6 et 7 de ton livre. Complétez le graphique. Écris le nom de chaque piece dans les cercles, par example, la cuisine.
Écris le nom de l'activité correspondante dans les rectangles, par example, nous cuisinons. { Now, look at pages 6 and 7 of your book. Complete the graphic.

Let's read the lyrics one final time. What do you think NOUS refers to?
Qui est nous?
Regardez, quand on dit nous, le verbe se termine en "ons". { Look, when we say nous, the verb ends in "ons".}
That's the right way to conjugate the first person plural!

Now, for a special challenge -- let's check out the song Chez Moi!

{ At home
Sitting on a chair, dad reads his newspaper In front of the TV, is my brother, Pascal, Where are they? What a question! They are in the recreation room. A pie in the over, my sister is the cook, I do the dishes with the help of my brother Where are we? In the pool? No, no, my friend. We are in the kitchen. Chorus: At home, the bedroom, the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room At home, the recreation room the bathroom, the garage, the attic At home, it's life, at home I make beautiful dreams, nightmares forbidden With my pillow, I'm going to bed Where am I? Do you know? I get dressed in my bedroom. You brush your teeth, you comb yourself You flush the toilet, and you gargle Where are you? Toothpaste on your hand In front of the mirror, you are in the bathroom. Chorus Mom is doing repairs, she is under the car My grandma looks for the hammer Where are they? Are they doing housework? No, my friend. They are in the garage. I put on the table, dinner is served it's time for a meal, I eat with my family Where are we? Can you guess? Very well, my friend. We are in the dining room. Chorus The dust, the antiques the boxes and old clothes, an old basket Where are these objects so well hidden? They are found in the attic. Next to Lise, I drink tea Behind the table, my cat is tired Where are we in the house? We are in the living room. Chorus } |
