Starter EXTRA: WRITE THE SENTENCES IN ENGLISH. mercredi, 6 juin J’aime le film ‘Les Intouchables’ parce que je le trouve intéressant et passionnant.
Ce que j’adore c’est David Attenborough car il est talentueux mais c’est vrai qu’il est un peu ennuyeux.
Mon acteur préféré c’est Leonardo DiCaprio parce qu’il est beau et célèbre mais malheureusement il est vieux.
Mon film préféré c’est ‘Le Loup de Wall Street’ parce que c’est à la fois marrant et heureux. Write the underlined adjectives in the feminine form.<br>
