French concept taught by Daniel
Daniel and Kevin reviewed the differences between similar French terms such as jour/le jour, an/annee, and soir/soiree, focusing on usage and context. They practiced using the passé composé with the verb "acheter" and touched on the imperfect tense for storytelling. Daniel assigned homework to prepare for the next session on Sunday.

Soir vs. Soirée
Passé Composé
Imparfait
Daniel and Kevin's French lesson centered on verb conjugations, particularly irregular verbs and forming the past tense with 'avoir'. Kevin also honed his sentence construction skills and worked on differentiating between 'jour'/'journée' and 'an'/'annee'. For homework, Daniel assigned a module covering present, past, and future tenses, and committed to clarifying the distinctions of 'jour' vs. 'journée' and 'an' vs 'annee' in their subsequent lesson.

The instructor and a student from Brooklyn College practiced French vocabulary and verb conjugations, with a focus on 're' verbs and their irregular patterns. The student conjugated verbs like 'construire' and discussed vocabulary related to Quebec and daily habits. The instructor asked the learner to come prepared to discuss their habits and job in the next class to further practice conjugations.

Daniel guided Kevin through a review of French possessive adjectives and ER verb conjugations. Their lesson then shifted to Quebec's history, covering Samuel de Champlain and key events like the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. They also discussed vocabulary pertinent to early Canadian history and the intricate relationship between the French, British, and First Nations. Daniel intends to link this historical content to present tense French in their upcoming lesson and will provide Kevin with homework.

Daniel tutored Kevin in French, focusing on grammar points such as possessive and demonstrative adjectives, verb conjugations, and prepositions used with country names. During the instruction, Daniel made sure to highlight exceptions and rules for gender agreement. Before diving into the French lesson, Daniel and Kevin had a conversation about Kevin's new teaching job, teacher salaries, and his personal life. They also noted that future lessons might delve into mysticism.
