Key learning points
- Revise the days of the week by listening to a song.
- Use intonation to ask and answer what day of the week it is with 'aujourd'hui' and c'est'.
- The verb 'avoir' means 'to have'. 'J'ai' means I have, 'il a' means he has and 'elle a' means 'she has'.
- These verbs are used with nouns and their indefinite articles to say what I and someone else has.
Common misconception
I can use 'avoir' as it is with any pronoun to mean 'have' or 'has' in French.
You have to use the different forms of 'avoir' depending on who you are talking about. For I have it is 'j'ai', for he has it is 'il a' for she has it is 'elle a'.
