This is meant to be a set of exercises to be used after presenting the passé composé with être. For a change of pace (or in case of teacher absence), when introducing the passé composé with être, you could use this set of exercises to reinforce the 20 minute lesson I've recorded on YouTube (it's free: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6-HxU_nIoY). This could make for an excellent interactive homework assignment! Students will identify which verbs need avoir, and which need être, they'll write the definition of an intransitive verb, they'll list the 17 verbs that use être in the P.C., they'll identify the verbs that sometimes use "être" and other times use "avoir", they'll have to know that reflexive verbs also use "être", and finally they will rewrite ten sentences in the passé composé using être as helping verb.

This lesson has it all: video lesson, lesson in written form with examples, exercises, and a really fun activity to try out with your students. This lesson is all about how to add meaningful question words to simple questions in French so that you will get more than a "yes" or "no" answer. Your students will learn how to use the question words: qui, quoi, que, quel, quand, où, pourquoi, comment, and combien (de). This lesson includes a video, so it can easily be assigned as homework, and you can save precious class time for the fun stuff! Students will learn the rules for knowing where to place the question word in the sentence depending on the type of question they've decided to ask. This lesson is to be used in conjunction with the video lesson found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BNGxGpqm7U&feature=youtu.be Here you will find the basic rules needed for forming questions using intonation, est-ce que, and inversion. There are many useful examples to help understand the rules, and there's even an exercise (with answers included) to test knowledge. Don't forget to try out the activity at the bottom of the document, my students think it's so much fun, and it's a QUIET activity, even better!

Depuis, pendant, il y a, pour: Complete lesson, study guide, 50 practice cards This French lesson plan will shed some light on when to use depuis, pendant, il y a, and pour when expressing time, which can be a very difficult topic for native English speakers. This resource includes a link to my 20 minute video tutorial on YouTube (here is the link if you’d like to have a look), a two page lesson guide that is useful whether you choose to show the video or not, and 50 practice cards that you can either print and cut out to have students work in small groups or that you can project for a whole class activity.

French Practice Cards: BON - BIEN - MEILLEUR - MIEUX This is a set of 65 cards for practicing and mastering BON - BIEN - MEILLEUR - MIEUX. This set of cards uses bon and bien as well as their comparative forms meilleur and mieux, but also a whole lot more (see below). That’s why this stack of cards is great for upper-intermediate and even advanced students! This resource does not incorporate the superlative. When using meilleur and mieux, we are really focusing on how to say “better” in French. This is always so hard since we use the same word in English whether we are using adverbs or adjectives. I have also made a 45 minute video that you can find on YouTube that would be perfect to show before pulling out these cards which I made specifically to accompany this very comprehensive lesson. I’m including a handy 3 page study guide to accompany the lesson and this set of cards. Topics covered: Comparing with bon and meilleur Comparing with bien and mieux Using bon and meilleur as adverbs with the verbs faire and sentir Using bien with se sentir Using all four forms with the linking verbs être and avoir l’air Using bon to say something is right or correct Using bien to mean “really” before bon and certain other adjectives Using bien when talking about approach, method, style, and technique Practicing the difference between saying C’est bien and C’est bon Included: Set of 65 cards to print and cut out Set of the same 65 cards with only one per page for use on tablets or for projecting 3 page lesson guide with rules and examples Link to YouTube lesson Student answer recording sheet
