Dangerous Questions

BY ANGIE
So today in class we were repeating interrogative sentences and affirmative sentences to get the hang of how it should sound. For example the sentence Ca va? is a question or Ca va. an answer. So just as in English you raise your voice at the end of a question and lower your voice on the answer. So we were practicing a lot of sentences like this and each time the question and the following statement would get longer and longer. The sentences were made up of some vocabulary we had not yet learned, but that didn't matter because we were just working on how it sounded. At the end though, the teacher had us ask questions of one another and it started with me. It could be questions from the page or just other questions we already knew. So, Jason- in all his wit began with "Tu adore ta mari?" (Do you adore your husband.) "Oui." I answered "Tu as quatre enfants?" (You have four children?) "Oui." I answered. Then it went on to other students and then one student Mel asked another student one that we did not really understand and the teacher had to explain to us the meaning- so that it could be answered. (and when I say explain, I really mean the teacher acted it out more like charades). Then it was Mel's turn to be asked -so as quick as Jason could, he read out the longest question on the paper (kind of in return for her asking the long hard one to the other student ) . "A quelle heure vous passerez nous prendre?" Only it turned out after the teacher's explanation (charade) - Jason said, "So I just asked her, "What time are you going to pick me up to go to the movie." The whole class roared with laughter and Jason said, "Well this is awkward. Those are some dangerous questions."
