1. Objective

By the end, you will manipulate forms related to “Ou or où?” without copying the model.

2. Discover

Take two “Ou or où?” examples and change one element at a time.

3. Understand

To understand “Ou or où?”, start from the examples rather than an abstract definition. Say the whole sentence, then identify the word’s function: the sound may be the same, but the role is not.
