Hear the words
Each word is read twice — say it back in the gap. Computer-generated voice; credits on the course page.
La règle · The rule
Look back at Lesson 1. You now join a cause to its consequence and to its purpose, concede a point without losing your own, choose a mood to show how much you are claiming, read about the environment, society and the media, and build a paragraph that argues rather than lists.
Et aussi · And also
Module 4 completes B2: the past in writing, regret and reproach, reported speech that shifts its tenses, and the long written tasks. Ce n'est plus de la grammaire, c'est du style — this is no longer grammar, it is style.
Attention · Watch out
la moitié du chemin: moitié takes de plus the article, du chemin. And bravo is said to one person or to many; it never changes.
Do it now — on paper
Say all 8 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the French spelling alone — begin with ce n'est plus de la grammaire.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the French.
Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 30 in Module 8 are the written half of this page.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The French Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
