Abby continued updating her word bank and summary of “Presque Mort”. She then finished reading chapter 7 in French. She did a translation and I asked her questions in French. She answered in French. Her grammar was good and she was missing only a few vocabulary words. During the 2nd hour we went over the 5 basic tenses: present, imperfect, future, conditional and passe compose. I went on to explain compound tenses. I gave Abby the rules to form the compound tenses and the translations. There are no compound tenses in Presque Mort, but Abby will complete this story shortly and her next stories all contain the compound tenses. She did very well today.
