Course #3103-0
Full Year
Grade 9

 


This course consists of a systematic review of all concepts learned previously and the study of advanced grammatical concepts such as anterior future, present, and past conditional with "if" clauses; present and past subjunctive, the literary past, the passive voice, causative faire, indirect discourse; and relative pronouns. A more sophisticated vocabulary related to French and Francophone culture is introduced. The course also promotes an understanding and appreciation of literature by reading Le Petit Prince in its entirety along with excerpts from other French writers such as Ionesco, De Maupassant, Colette, and Molière. Written and oral compositions are required.
