My sheep - يا غنماتي
This song is good practice of the imperative (giving commands). All the imperative verbs end in وا (pronounced 'oo') to show they're plural, because she's talking to lots of sheep. Match up the English and Arabic:
answer غنّوا
walk ردّوا
sing امشوا
NB. انتوا= the colloquial form of انتم = you (plural).
There are 5 phrases in this song. Which order do they come in?
* follow me (walk behind me)
* answer me
* what shall I feed you?
* you're my life
* sing along with me
