Since the discovery of the USA blacks have been discriminated against. Until 1865 blacks had to be slaves for white people. But after, segregation continued. They were discriminated against in many places, at water fountains, in waiting rooms and restaurants, on buses and even at school. But a man wanted to change the situation. And a woman too. They have been heard. But nowadays, segregation is continuing. We all believe in a better world. One day, we’ll all live together in peace.

would + V à toutes les personnes

 and some remarks to one or two happy people in the class, which gave me the opportunity to teach you the following expression:
Are you pulling my leg???= Vous moquez vous de moi?
we started class and we worked on a file related to the text BACK TO SCHOOL, and learnt :

that in the USA they say : a student from 3 years old to 25 years old
(Brit): a student from 18
(Brit): a pupil from 3 to 17
   that:
1) must - quasi certitude= devoir

2) may – éventualité, incertitude = pouvoir (peut-être)
3) could - hypothèse - pourrait

To improve = to get better
                  =  s'améliorer

LOOK AND LISTEN TO THE TEXT AND THE VIDEO AND SEND ME A COLLECTION OF AS MANY WORDS CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENT CONTAINED IN BOTH DOCUMENTS AS POSSIBLE, WITH TRANSLATION INTO FRENCH. DUE NOVEMBER 7th AT THE LATEST.

Music : qd il s’agit d’une  Notion abstraite -> pas d’article

Ex : J’aime la musique= I like music

Mais quand elle est définie -> un article

Ex : I like the music you play

C’est la musique que tu joues que j’aime, pas la musique en général

You play définit la musique

NB : elle peut être définie par autre chose :

Ex : j’aime la musique de Ray Charles

I like Ray Charles’ music

Ray Charles’ définit la musique

C’est la musique de Ray Charles que j’aime pas la musique en général    

A song – songs

je peux les compter

ATTENTION

I’m listening to the songs -> Le mot est défini

I’m listening to songs -> Au pluriel quand le mot n’est pas défini : Pas d’article + pluriel

Deux catégories de noms :

Ex : song : countable (C) (en français on dit : dénombrables)-> Noms qui représentent les choses que l’on peut compter

       Music uncountable (U)(en français on dit : indénombrables-> Noms qui représentent des choses que l’on ne peut pas compter

Caractéristiques des uncountables :

Pas de « a » devant

Pas de mots pour les compter

Pas de pluriel -> l’accord du verbe est au singulier

People. C’est un nom dénombrable qui ne prend JAMAIS d’ « S » et est toujours au pluriel quand il signifie les gens.

Ex : The people are nice= Les gens sont gentils.

Mais people peut signifier peuple, alors il prend un « s » au pluriel

Ex : The peoples of this country are nice = les peuples de ce pays sont gentils.

Information : My information is good – Mes informations sont bonnes

Ce mot Uncountable et donc  toujours au singulier.

Quantifieurs :

Mots qui expriment une quantité

                                        Countable                  Uncountable

Time :

Quand time = le temps = Uncountable

Ex : how much time ? – Combien de temps ?

Quand time = fois = Countable

Ex : how many times ? – combien de fois ?
