Partner Speaking Exercise:
Practice stem-changing verbs in context and learn new verbs with a partner speaking French using the list here. Choose 5 to 7 new stem-changing verbs. Have a partner pick one of your new verbs, a subject, and an object. Now, try to form a sentence with those. Have fun with it! For example: le chat (the cat) – protéger (to protect) – l’éléphant (the elephant). Have your French-speaking partner correct you, and then make the sentence again using at least two more subjects.
