I.1B Adjective Agreement

I.1B Adjective Gender Agreement

Take out your 1B notes. You will start by filling out some of the grammar notes and doing some practice. Then you will do an activity that combines vocabulary + the new grammar.

(We are skipping the Definite/Indefinite Articles notes for now!)
