Recap✍🏻

During the day, an au pair takes care of the children and the house. For example, they prepare breakfast and take the kids to school. When the kids are not there, au pairs have free time. They can do what they want. At the end of the day, they pick up kids from school and play with them, make dinner and fold the laundry.

GRAMMAR

J'observe Pour parler de son expérience, on utilise le PRESENT PERFECT ( ou HAVE + V-en.) Cela permet de faire un bilan au moment présent. FORMATION : Sujet + HAVE au présent + participe passé (V-ed ou 3e colonne pour les verbes irréguliers. ) ex : I have worked with children.

Use the present perfect to talk about your experience :

Exercise

a. Ayana ...........................(be) a babysitter. b. Ricardo............................(work) with children. c. Kate ............................ (take care) of his little brothers. d. I............................(create) fun games for my sisters. e. You............................ (manage) school groups in your free time. f. She............................ (already live) abroad.

has been

has worked

has taken care

have created

have managed

has already lived

Re-order the words :

Exercise

a. has / 3 years / Ricardo / for / summer camp counselor/ been b. been / John/ last month/ au pair / since / has / an c. have /for / I / been /a nurse / 6 months.

Ricardo has been a summer camp counselor for 3 years.

John has been an au pair since last month.

I have been a nurse for 6 months.

GRAMMAR

FOR et SINCE Après le present perfect, on utilise SINCE pour parler d'une date précise et FOR pour une durée. En français, on peut traduire since et for par depuis. ex : I have lived in England for 6 months. I have studied English since elementary school.
