Language Classes, 11/29

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream appears relatively cheerful today. The room seems a little bigger and sunnier, and the juice and pastries he set out might be especially delicious.

Languages of Europe: We have a quiz on conjugation of regular -er verbs today. In addition, we're going to discuss regular -ir verbs. The verb form that ends in -ir is called the infinitive (in English, the infinitive is the verb preceded by the word "to"). -ir is the infinitive ending. The verb without the -ir is called the stem or radical.

To conjugate an -ir verb, remove the infinitive ending and then add the appropriate endings, as follows:
je -is; tu -is; il -it; nous -issons; vous -issez; ils -issent. For example, choisir -- to choose -- is conjugated je choisis, tu choisis, il choisit, nous choisissons, vous choisissez, ils choisissent.

Cat: We have a special guest today, groovy_cat. Cat, let me know when you wish to lead your talk. I understand you have some experience with a cat God that might interest my students?

"Thank you both. And Faithful, make sure the other cats know she is not a toy or food? I fear my message over the PA today was unclear."

Faithful flicked his tail at Alanna's nose making the girl bat it away. "Min knows not to. Hopefully the other cats will pick up that the hamster is odd looking as well." Alanna tried very hard not to pull her cat's tail down and out of her face. "Anything else sir? How is Lockheed?"

"Min?" Dream looks momentarily confused. "Lockheed has chosen to live with Professor The Tick. I have not visited with them, but it seems he is doing well."

"And that should be everything."
