Ne . . . pas

Steps to doing this

1. Look at your sentence. Find the form of etre (or another verb)

2. Put parenthesies around it.

3. Place a “ne” where the ( is and a “pas” where the ) is. Erase the parenthesies

Groups of five

Each person needs a dry erase board.

When you have them, stand in line in order of the tallest to the shortest.

The first person will be the “je, tu, etc.”

The middle will be “etre”

The last will be the adjective (enthousiaste, energique, etc)

The first of the two remaining people will be “ne,” the second will be “pas”

After each sentence, the first person will move to the back and everyone else will move up.
