  1. Unité 2 Answering Questions (AFFIRMATIVE ANSWERS ONLY)

  2. Il/Elle • When you come across a question ABOUT another person or people it will be answered very simply. • This type of question will be answered with a OUIand the same subject and verb structure. • Question: Paul parlefrançais? Answer: Oui, Paul parlefrançais. Notice how the subject and verb are in the SAME word order and have NOT changed at all. The only addition is the “oui”

  3. Ils/elles • The same rules apply to questions about 2+ people or “Ils/Elles” • Question: • Sophie et Marie regardentla télé? • Oui, Sophie et Marie (elles) regardentla télé.

  4. Tu • Questions directed to TU are slightly different. • ANY TIME A QUESTION IS ASKED (either in writing or in speaking) IT MUST BE ANSWERED WITH “JE” AND THE CORRESPONDING VERB FORM. Question: Tuécoutesle rap? (Do you listen to rap?) Answers: Oui, j’écoute le rap.

  5. Vous • Since “Vous” means “You” it can also be answered with JE and the corresponding verb form. • However, since “Vous” can also mean “You” (PLURAL---y’all/ you all) it can also be answered with “NOUS” (meaning “We”), and the corresponding verb form. • The change from VOUS to JEor NOUSMUST HAPPEN!!!

  6. Vous(continued) • Question: • Vousparlezfrançais? (Do you speak French?) Possible answers: Oui, jeparlefrançais. OR Oui, nousparlonsfrançais. (NB—we are avoiding the “NON” answer at this point)

  7. Est-ceque…? • If you see the expression “Est-cequ(e)….?” at the beginning of a question, it has NO FUNCTION other than to introduce a question. It just lets you know that a question is next. IGNORE IT---it does NOT EVER appear in your answer. • Question: Est-cequeSophie aime Paul? (Does Sophie love Paul?) • Answer: Oui, Sophie aime Paul.

  8. Pratique—answer the following questions in a complete sentence in French • Est-cequetuécoutes le reggae? • Sonia aimeÉric? • Vousdansezbien? • Est-cequePaul et Juliette parlent beaucoup?
