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
