The verb partir

Je pars à huit heures. Elle est partie sans moi.

Grammar note

Partir takes être in the passé composé (je suis parti, elle est partie) and the -s / -t endings in the singular are silent: pars, pars, part. The plural keeps the t: partons, partez, partent.

From Laboratoire 1, Le départ. A repeat exercise, about 1 minute.

How to do it

Out loud, or it does not count.

  1. Read the model on the sheet once. It is the only text you get.
  2. Press start. The voice says the model, then the first cue.
  3. Answer during the pause, at full voice or under your breath, but with your mouth.
  4. Hear the answer. If yours differed, say the correct one in the repeat pause, matching the voice.
  5. Do it again tomorrow. The structure comes back in later labs at one, three, seven and twenty-one days.
