Drill · B1 · neg.pas-encore
Pas encore with a pronoun
Vous avez trouvé votre place ? — Non, je ne l'ai pas encore trouvée.
Grammar note
Pas encore sits between the auxiliary and the participle: je ne l'ai pas encore composté. The pronoun still goes before ai, and the participle still agrees: je ne l'ai pas encore trouvée.
From Laboratoire 1, Le départ. 9 variations, about 2 minutes.
Modèle 6 :
Vous avez composté votre billet ?
Répondez non :Non, je ne l'ai pas encore composté.
Listen to the model, then answer each variation out loud during the pause.
How to do it
Out loud, or it does not count.
- Read the model on the sheet once. It is the only text you get.
- Press start. The voice says the model, then the first cue.
- Answer during the pause, at full voice or under your breath, but with your mouth.
- Hear the answer. If yours differed, say the correct one in the repeat pause, matching the voice.
- Do it again tomorrow. The structure comes back in later labs at one, three, seven and twenty-one days.
