Section One - Part E Qu'est-ce que tu aimes? Some time ago we talked about what we like to do using the expression "j'aime." Do you remember how that worked? See if you can say that you like to do the following things: I like to dance. J'aime danser. I like to swim. J'aime nager. I like to watch tv. J'aime regarder la télé. I like to study. J'aime étudier. I like to eat. J'aime manger. Do you remember why we do not change the verbs danser, nager, regarder, étudier and manger? Think about what we want to say. We want to say "I like to dance." That form of the verb (to dance, to swim, to watch, to study, to eat) is the infinitive form and in French will end in -er, -ir or -re. There are a few other verbs that work this way also. Je veux I want... Je peux I can... Je dois I must... Using these verbs as the first verb, you can now say that you want, can, must or would like to do the activities that you want to talk about. Try it out here. Click on each question to see the correct response. Est-ce que tu veux étudier? Non, je ne veux pas étudier. Est-ce que tu peux voyager? Oui, je peux voyager. Est-ce que tu dois regarder la télé ou étudier? Je dois étudier. Est-ce que tu veux manger? Oui, je veux manger. Est-ce que tu peux parler espagnol? Non, je ne peux pas parler espagnol. Est-ce que tu dois aller à l'école aujuourd'hui? Non, je ne dois pas aller à l'école. C'est samedi!
