GUIDED PRACTICE
 Write sentences using the structure
 “J’ai + un+ nom” = I have+ a + noun
 “J’ai + une + nom” = I have+ the + noun
 Remember, in order to speak in French, we need to conjugate. We have
learnt “ETRE” (to be) to introduce ourselves. “J’ai” is a conjugated form
of verb “AVOIR” = to HAVE.
 (j’ai, tu as, il a, nous avons, vous avez, ils ont)
 Ex: J’ai une poupée (I have a doll)

J’ai un éléphant (I have an elephant)
