Today we’ll be learning French instead of journaling the day. Let’s conjugate the four most commonly used verbs: aller, avoir, être and faire and give some example sentences.
Aller (to go)

- Il va à Paris – He goes to Paris
- Nous allons à la bibliothèque – We go to the library
- Vous allez dormir – You’re going to sleep
- Ils vont nager – They’re going to swim
Avoir (to have)
- J’ai un livre – I have a book
- Tu as beaucoup d’argent – You have a lot of money
- Il a un chapeau – He has a hat
- Nous avons des pommes – We have some apples
- Vous avez aller avec votre mari – You have to go with your husband
- Elles ont deux robes – They have two dresses
Être (to be)
- Je suis Monsieur Keith – I am Mr. Keith
- Tu es un homme – You are a man
- Elle est une grande femme – She is a tall woman
- Nous sommes dimanche – It’s Sunday
- Vous êtes Américain - You are American
- Ils sont dans la voiture – They’re in the car
Faire (to do)
- Je fais du velo – I ride the bike
- Qu’est-ce que tu fais? – What are you doing?
- Qu’est-ce qu’elle fait? – What is she doing?
- Qu’est-ce que nous faisons? – What are we doing?
- Qu’est-ce que vous faites maintenant? – What are you doing now?
- Qe’est-ce que ils font? – What are they doing?
Yes, I wasn’t sure how to finish the conjugation of faire. Sorry about that! I just haven’t learned many examples or usages of faire yet so apart from simple questions like that, I just don’t know enough at this point.

The state of Minnesota’s elected officials pushed through a marriage amendment bill which will be voted on by the citizens in the November 2012 elections. This is a hurtful bill as it will constitutionally define marriage to be between one man and one woman. This is an obvious blow to marriage equality for all. I’ll no longer be using the term same-sex marriage or gay-marriage as what I want is just marriage, not some variation on that concept.
