Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. un → one; deux → two; trois → three

2. rouge If they pick vert, that is green. Point to the red square and say the word for red aloud.

3. quatre If they pick cinq, that is five. Ask them to count the dots again, one at a time, then find the word.

B

1. j'ai If they pick tu as, that means you have, said to one person. Say that j'ai is the I form and tu as is the you form.

2. deux If they pick trois, that is three. Ask them to point to each dot and say one number for each.

C

1. About me: j'ai: J'ai un chat., J'ai une chaise. · To one friend: tu as: Tu as un chat., Tu as une chaise. If cards are in the wrong column, ask who the sentence is about: me, or one person they know.

2. Tu as un chat? If they pick Tu as un chat. with a full stop, that is a statement. Ask them to lift their voice at the end. If they pick Quel âge as-tu?, that asks how old you are, so the answer is a number, not yes or no.

3. carte, timide If they circle café, the final é with an accent is said. A plain e at the end of words like carte and timide is silent.

4. quatre If they pick cinq, that is five. Ask them to count the dots one by one and say each number aloud.

D

1. Look for: The final e in carte is silent, so the word is said kart, not car-tuh. Kit thinks the e is said because it is written. Tell your child that a plain e at the end of words like carte is silent, then say kart together.

E

1. Look for: One sentence starting J'ai and one starting Tu as, each with un or une and a noun.

Words to use

Say“Say the French words aloud first. StudyDen plays the words aloud in the app, so listen and repeat with your child.”

Instead of“Read the answers out and tell them what to write.”

After the sheet

Line up four things from the kitchen, like a cup and a spoon. Take turns: say what you have with j'ai, then ask tu as with a rising voice.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
