Avoir (To have)

 

I normally will not teach the students how to conjugate the verb - to have (avoir).

However I find that for them to make sentences correctly in their conversation, they need to know those verbs. If they are able to learn them now, they acquire a strong foundation. If they are not able, that's fine. They will learn them later.
