    Exercice III

    Prepare for class five commands or "urgent" questions like those in exercise F that indicate you want someone to do or complete something right away. Be ready to say each one, with feeling, to a fellow student, and—as always—be prepared with the correct response (in this case, using venir de + infinitive) in case that question—or a similar question—is asked of you.
