A Fishy story

 A Fishy story

2. Answer the following questions in 30-40 words. 

a) The neighbourhood of Streatley and Goring is a great fishing centre. The river abounds in pike, roach, dace, gudgeon, and eels and one can sit and fish for them all day. Some people do but they never catch them. 

b) The author was an extremely neat thrower, had plenty of gumption and quite enough constitutional laziness. However, to become a great angler, he would require more imagination, more power of invention and the ability to tell lies easily. 

c) The young man began counting each fish that he caught as ten, and to assume ten to begin with. Then, if he really caught one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty and so on. 

d) The old fellow told the author that he had caught the trout just below the bridge with a minnow and it weighed eighteen pounds six ounces. He further added that one didn’t see many fish that size about there then. 

3. Answer the following questions in 100-120 words.

a) One day when the author and his friend George were in a parlour, they began chatting with an old fellow there. Then, the old fellow said that the trout weighed eighteen pounds six ounces and he had caught him just below the bridge with a minnow. The local carrier, who had just stopped at the inn, said that it was nearly five years ago that he had caught that trout below the lock and it weighed twenty-six pounds. Five minutes later, a third man came in and described how he had caught it early one morning, bleakly. After he left, a middle-aged individual came in. He told the author and his friend how it had taken him half an hour to land it, broke his rod and weighed thirty-four pounds. Finally, the landlord came and told the real history how he had caught it when he was quite a lad. 

b) The author and his friend George has heard all the false stories and shared them with the landowner. The landowner in turn told them the real history behind the trout. After the landowner left the room, they again turned their gaze upon the fish. The more they looked at it, the more they marvelled at it. It excited George so much that he climbed up on the back of a chair to get a better view of it. And then the chair slipped, and George clutched wildly at the trout-case to save himself, and down it came with a crash, George and the chair on top of it. That trout lay shattered into a thousand fragments. They thought it strange and unaccountable, if it had been a stuffed trout, but it was not. That trout was plaster-of Paris. Thus, the truth behind the huge trout was finally discovered.

French lesson 5 notes

 

Leçon 5 – Qu’est-ce que je ferai ?

Grammaire –

Le futur simple

Le futur simple is used for talking about the events which will take place after a long time i.e. maybe after a few months or years and therefore there can be a kind of uncertainty of happening it.

Construction of the sentence –

Subject + radical of the verb + endings ai/as/a/ons/ez/ont

Radicals of the verbs – 1) For ER verbsand IR verbs radical and the infinitive are the same.

e.g. radical of ‘chanter’ is chanter itself. So take the whole verb and add the endings as per the subject.

Note these radicals – acheter – achèter

                                         Peser – pèser

                                          Jeter-jetter

                                          Appeler –appeller

                                          Employer – emploir

e.g. regarder – to see

Je regarderai – I will see

Tu regarderas – you will see

Il/Elle/On regardera – He/She/Everybody will see

Nous regarderons – we will see

Vous regarderez – you will see

Ils/elles regarderont – they will see

Radical of ‘remplir’ is remplir itself.

e.g. choisir – to choose

Je choisirai – I will choose

Tu choisiras – you will choose

Il/Elle/On choisira – he/she/everbody will choose

Nous choisirons – we will choose

Vous choisirez – you will choose

Ils/elles choisiront – they will choose

 

2)  For RE verbs remove R from the infinitive and the remaining verb is infinitive. E.g. radical of ‘vendre’ is ‘vendr’.

e.g. vendre – to sell

Je vendrai – I will sell

Tu vendras – you will sell

Il/Elle/On vendra – He/she/Everybody will sell

Nous vendrons – we will sell

Vous vendrez – you will sell

Ils/Elles vendront – they will sell
