VERBS
What is a verb?
Action word
There are TWO forms of verbs:
infinitive- to… to run, to dance, to sing, to be
conjugated- I run, you dance, he sings, we are
In English, the infinitive form is noted by the TO before the verb…. NO
PERSON or THING is DOING the action.
In French, the infinitive for is noted by the END of the word:
-er
danser
-ir
finir
-re
attendre
In English when we CONJUGATE a verb, we remove the TO and replace it with
a noun or personal pronoun:
to dance….. I dance
to sing…
he sings
to play…
we play
In French when we CONJUGATE a verb, we add a noun or personal pronoun,
remove the ENDING (-er, -ir, -re) and replace the old ending with a NEW ending.
danser…
je danse
finir…
il finit
attendre
nous attendons
HOMEWORK

The Tidy Drawer
One Saturday morning Abby's mom came upstairs to see Abby in her bedroom. Or tried
to. There was so much mess on the floor she could only poke her head around the door.
Abby sat in the middle of it all reading a book.
"What a mess," mom said. "You need to clean up in here."
"Why?" Abby asked.
"Why?" she, repeated Abby. "Because things get broken or lost when they're all
willy-nilly like this. Come on, have tidy up now."
"But I am very busy," Abby argued, "and it's boring on my own. Can't you help me?"
"No I can't, I am busy too. But I'll give you extra pocket money if you do a good
job."
When she came back later all the toys and clothes and books had disappeared.
"I am impressed," said Mom. "But I will inspect it properly later."
"It was easy," said Abby. "Can I have my extra pocket money now?"
"All right. Get it out of my change purse. It's in the kitchen tidy drawer."
In the kitchen Abby went over to the dresser and pulled open the tidy drawer. She
hunted for the purse.
"Any luck?" Mom asked.
Abby shook her head.
"It must be lurking at the bottom," Mom said. "Let's have a good look."

She pulled the drawer out and started to carry it over to the table. Abby kneeled up
on a chair to look inside. There were lots of boring things like staplers and string but
there were lots of interesting things as well.
"What's this?" Abby asked, holding up a plastic bottle full of red liquid. Mom laughed.
"Fake blood, from a Halloween party years ago. Your Dad and I took you to that,
dressed up as a baby vampire. You were really scary."
"I don't remember that."
Abby continued to look through the drawer. She found some vampire teeth, white
face paint, plastic witchy nails and hair gel. Mum pulled out a glittery hair band. It had
springs with wobbly balls on the top that flashed disco colors. She put it on her head
while she continued to look through the drawer. Abby found some sparkly hair elastics
to match the hair band. She made her Mom put lots of little bunches all over her head
so she looked really silly.
"I remember this," Abby said as she pulled out a plastic bag. "This is from my pirate
party." Inside there was a black, false mustache and some big gold earrings.
She peeled the sticky backing off the false mustache and stuck it on Mom's top lip
then found a paint brush in the drawer and painted a fierce red scar down her cheek
using the fake blood. Mum clipped on the pirate earrings.
"Come here," Mum said and smeared white face paint all over Abby's face. She
dribbled the fake blood so it looked as if it was coming out of Abby's eyes and mouth.
She put gel all over Abby's hair and made it stand up into weird, pointy shapes…

Abby put in the vampire teeth and slipped on some witchy fingers. She made scary
noises at Wow-Wow the cat. He ignored her and carried on washing himself on the seat
next to her.
"Watch this?" Abby asked, holding up a flat rubbery thing. It was hard to speak
through the vampire teeth.
"It's a whoopee cushion," Mom said. "You blow it up and sit on it. It makes rude
noises." She blew it up and gave it to Abby.
Suddenly there was a knock at the back door. A voice called out. "Hello, it's only me.
I've let myself in."
It was their nosy neighbor, Mrs Hislop. She was always interfering and complaining.
Mrs Hislop entered the kitchen. Her mouth dropped open.
"We're just looking for the change purse," Abby explained.
"Yes, well, er," Mrs Hislop said, "I just wanted a word about your fence. Some of it's
blown down on my side."
At that moment Abby sat on the whoopee cushion and let out an enormous, rude
noise. Wow-Wow jumped off his seat and ran away.
"Well!" said Mrs. Hislop and hurried from the room and out of the house.
When the door banged shut Abby and Mom burst out laughing until Mom's mustache
hung on by a whisker and some of Abby's vampire teeth dropped out.
Abby came to sit on her Mom's knee.
"It's fun doing this together," she said.
"Maybe. But we still haven't found the change purse." They both looked at the
enormous heap of things spread over the kitchen table.
"Well, you know things will get lost, or broken, when they're all willy nilly," Abby said.
"You cheeky monkey!" Mom laughed. "But what shall I do with it all?"
"I know, it's easy," Abby said and began to scoop everything off the table into her
arms. She dumped it all back in the kitchen drawer.
Mom looked at her suspiciously.
"Let's go and inspect your bedroom shall we."
Abby followed her upstairs and into her bedroom. Wow-Wow was sitting in front of
her fish tank looking hungrily at the goldfish. He dashed under the bed when he saw
Mom and Abby. Mom kneeled down and lifted the bed cover to get him out. Underneath
were heaps of Abby's toys, some books, some tapes, some clothes and a shoe, empty
plastic cups and some wrappers and a half-eaten sandwich on a plate.
"Abby! What's all this?"
"It's my tidy drawer," Abby said. She wrapped her arms around her Mom and gave
her a kiss. "Let's sort this one out together now."
