Places in Nora’s weekend

Two questions about the visit
- Partner
Votre frère habite loin ?
Does your brother live far away?
- Nora
Non, il habite près de chez moi.
No, he lives near me.
- Partner
Vous allez le voir quel jour ?
Which day are you going to see him?
- Nora
Dimanche prochain.
Next Sunday.
The word souvent means often. Keep it in the account: Nora enjoys a frequent walk, while next Sunday has its own plan. In the exercise, complete the verbs from their infinitives and choose the time expressions from the English hints. Then read the account aloud.

Make a second weekend account
Change these facts before your next turn
- Your Saturday workplace is a café.
- Your usual Sunday activity is reading.
- Next Sunday’s visit is to your sister.
- Your sister lives far away.
Use the same order: Saturday habit, usual Sunday activity, next Sunday’s plan, then one detail about your sister. Your partner asks which day you will visit and whether she lives nearby. Keep the revised facts visible until you can answer both questions comfortably.
