Words of the Week
Like in English, another way to make the ‘k’ sound in French is with ‘q+u’.
Most of the words that begin with ‘qu’ are question words.
In English, we think of the 5 W’s (Who,
What, When, Where, Why). In French, it’s
the 4 Q’s: Qui, Quoi, Quand, Que,
Pourquoi (and Où).
When you read stories, take time to discuss them using these
words. Who was it about? (Qui), Where
and when did it take place? (Où &
Quand), What happened? (Quoi/Qu’est-ce que), Why did this event
happen? (Pourquoi)
This is a good habit to get into, and will help us write
complete stories of our own later this term.
que, qui, quoi, quel, quand, quatre
Bonus words: pourquoi, qu’est-ce que
