Luc prépare le jardin avec sa voisine. « Apporte l’arrosoir, s’il te plaît. Les fleurs ont besoin d’eau. » Luc trouve l’arrosoir sur l’étagère. Ensuite, sa voisine lui demande le râteau pour les feuilles. Il regarde le mur de gauche : le râteau est à côté de la pelle. Ils mettent les feuilles dans la brouette. Avant de rentrer, Luc prend le balai et nettoie devant la porte de l’abri. Puis il remet les outils à leur place.
Luc is getting the garden ready with his neighbour. “Bring the watering can, please. The flowers need water.” Luc finds the watering can on the shelf. Then his neighbour asks him for the rake for the leaves. He looks at the left wall: the rake is next to the shovel. They put the leaves in the wheelbarrow. Before going indoors, Luc takes the broom and cleans in front of the shed door. Then he puts the tools back in their places.
Les feuilles: the leaves; les outils: the tools; à leur place: in their places.
The shed itself is un abri de jardin. Learn un arrosoir and une étagère with their full articles. Les gants is masculine plural and les bottes is feminine plural. To describe the two pairs, say des gants épais (thick gloves) and des bottes sales (dirty boots).
