OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

use the verb shown below to complete the sentence: nous/avoir (please help ill fan and medal)

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

nous____ quinze livers quest ce que tu___ pour le petit dejeuner? il ne___ pas les responses parce qu'il n'etudie pas vous___ la table chez vous elles___ chaud je___ que paris est en france quest ce quelle___ le weekend? ils___ en classe

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

You need to use the forms of avoir. That's: Je : J'ai Tu: as Il/Elle: a Nous: avons vous: avez ils: ont. Pay attention to the sentence structure because some are negative.

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

so do i have to make some of these negative?

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

For example: "il ne___ pas les responses parce qu'il n'etudie pas" We notice it says: Il (he) so we refer back to our list and we would know that "a" would be the appropriate answer. It's already in it's negative form it seems.

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

so it wouldnt be Il (savoir)

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Savoir? As in "to know"?

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

wait never mind sorry i got confused for a sec

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

but if its a i dont think its right cuz i have to fill in 4 boxes and a is just 1

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Remember: Avoir is just "to have". You cannot sturture a sentence in french like: "je avoir un chat". That does not make sense. You'd have to say "J'ai un chat".

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Well your problem examples only have one space per sentence.

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

but it cant be a cuz on my worksheet it shows that it would be a four letter word

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

For this example "il ne___ pas les responses parce qu'il n'etudie pas"?

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

yes

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

oh wait im so sorry i read my worksheet question wrong

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

let me re write it im so so sorry

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Logically that makes no sense, unless your class is using another verb that I did not see. It translate to "he does not have an answer because he didnt study"

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Oh thats okay

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

i have to use the verb il/savoir il ne ____ pas les responses parce qu'il n'etudie pas

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

The form "savoir" or "avoir"

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

savoir*

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

It's all going to be present

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Yes

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

@Ashleyisakitty

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Obviously, you need to choose from more than 2 verbs. Verbs needed her are: être avoir savoir prendre mettre faire If you use only avoir or savoir, lots of sentences are either awkward or nonsensical.
