This week we will practice Possessive Adjectives, which show ownership.
The “le” or “la” word decides which adjective to use. This week's focus is on
"son, sa, ses", all of these mean his and her in English.

1a. ÉCRIT ~ (Writing Task)  

• son*son for “le” words  ~ His/Her dog = Son chien (le chien)
• sa*sa for “la” words    ~ His/Her mouse = Sa souris (la souris)
• ses*ses for ‘plural’ words ~ His/Her cats = Ses chats (les chats)

Fill in the blank with the appropriate word using answers in the word-bank.

1b. ÉCRIT ~ (Writing Task)  ~ con’t

Please write 3 complete sentences using “Il = He  or Elle = She” (instead of “Je = I”) 

   (Remember we did this in January: He wears / She wears = “Il porte / Elle porte”)

Create two of those sentences including possessive adjectives. Remember the sentences don’t have to be true but they do have to be complete.

Below are sentence-starters and examples.

J’ai  - I have	Il a - He has   Elle a - She has	Je veux - I want	Il veut - He wants Elle veut - She wants
J’aime - I like	Il aime - He likes   Elle aime - She likes	Je vois  - I see	Il voit - He sees Elle voit - She sees
