How to

Tell the time ?

What time is it ?

o'clock

1) The time is based on a 12-hour clock (AM and PM*) You can't say 13 o'clock or 21 o'clock but 1 pm and 9 pm. 2) Start with the minutes, then the hours. 3) Know the difference between Past and To ! Past: for every minute from 1 to 30. To make it easier to remember, you can replace PAST with 'après/passé'. To: for all the minutes from 31 to 59. To make it easier to remember, TO can be replaced by 'pour aller jusqu'a'.

Would you rather...

Would you rather... ?

Objective:

The objective of the "game" is to choose between two options that are often quite silly, challenging, or amusing. Players take turns asking the "nomintaed student" : "Would you rather [Option A] or [Option B]?"

Rules:

Question Format: The questioner presents a "Would you rather" scenario, offering two options that the answering player must choose from. For example, "Would you rather have the ability to fly like a bird or swim like a fish?" Answering: The player who receives the question must choose one of the two options. They can't say "both" or "neither." They have to pick one, even if it's a tough choice. Reasoning: After answering, the player has to share their reasons for choosing that option.

Info

Would you rather... ?

Examples:

Would you rather have a magic wand that can grant any wish you make or a super-fast rocket-powered bicycle? Would you rather have the power to talk to animals or to speak every language in the world? Would you rather spend a day as your favorite cartoon character or inside your favorite video game?Would you rather be able to jump as high as a kangaroo or run as fast as a cheetah? Would you rather live in a treehouse high up in the forest or in a cozy cottage by the beach? Would you rather have a pet dinosaur that's friendly or a robot that can do all your chores? Would you rather go to school until your 30's or not go to school at all? Would you rather be able to breathe underwater like a fish or have the ability to turn invisible? Would you rather have a never-ending supply of your favorite dessert or unlimited access to amusement parks? Would you rather have the power to read minds or to teleport yourself?

Bye and see you next time !
