GCSE ITALIAN KS4 ITALIAN KS3 ITALIAN VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE FREE SAMPLER I’ve created a lot of ‘quick conjugation workbooks’ for my students and they’re really popular and effective. They’re a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate all the various verb groups, tenses and moods in Italian. I use them in a range of learning contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. Students really benefit from several opportunities to work through the workbooks, once or twice a term across a whole school year is a great way of both mapping progress and developing overall understanding and competence.
The workbooks focus on specific 25 essential Italian verbs in a range of tenses. They include modals, regular, and irregular verbs. Each workbook is structured as follows:
Two alphabetical verb reference lists: Italian : English and English : Italian
Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations:
Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation.
Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in Italian, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation.
Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding Italian verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt.
Notes and Next Steps sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of Italian conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets.

ITALIAN ARE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #3
**KS3 ITALIAN KS4 ITALIAN GCSE ITALIAN A LEVEL ITALIAN ADVANCED ITALIAN ARE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 8 TENSES & WORKBOOKS @ £0.62 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** focusing on ***25 high-frequency Italian -ARE verbs***. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. There are ***150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges in each workbook, 1,200 conjugations*** in total. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they're really versatile, and ideal for ***KS3 Italian and KS4 Italian*** students who are getting to grips with conjugation in ***Italian***, building their verb vocabulary, and working with texts which include a range of tenses; then moving into ***KS5 Italian*** with more complex texts and language, including ***authentic resources***, with the ***pluperfect tense***, into ***advanced Italian A Level*** with the ***future perfect and conditional perfect tenses***. The workbooks ***focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage***, and I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. **The tenses are:** *present tense (presente) perfect tense (passato prossimo) imperfect tense (imperfetto) future tense (futuro semplice) conditional tense (condizionale, presente) pluperfect tense (trapassato prossimo) future perfect tense (futuro anteriore) conditional perfect tense (condizionale passato)* Grammar books are not consistent with grammatical terminology, so in this context, the ***conditional perfect is I would have done or I would have been*** for example - we often see this tense called the ***conditional past*** too. It’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, and the language they are learning. For example, with the ***conditional tense in Italian*** those with ***English as a first language*** frequently look for a word that is the equivalent of ***would***, until they familiarise themselves with the fact that the ***notion of conditional is indicated in the verb ending***. I see this a lot with the ***future tense*** too, and tend to introduce both tenses quite closely together. It's also easy to confuse the ***future tense endings with the conditional tense endings***, and targeted practice helps to address that really well. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written Italian*** is accurate, and that their ***understanding of Italian across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. **Each set is structured as follows:** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: Italian-English and English-Italian. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: **Conjugation Challenge 1**: each verb conjugated in Italian across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. **Conjugation Challenge 2**: gives the infinitive of each verb in Italian, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Italian. **Conjugation Challenge 3**: students write the corresponding Italian verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. ***Notes and Next Steps*** template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It's a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. ***answer key***: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others' - work. ***Try this free samler to assess whether this kind of activity would work well for your students:*** **ITALIAN QUICK CONJUGATION PRACTICE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/italian-conjugation-practice-sampler-12359601](http://) ***Currently in my store I have Italian conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses:*** * present tense (presente) * perfect tense (passato prossimo) * imperfect tense (imperfetto) * future tense (futuro semplice) * conditional tense (condizionale, presente) * pluperfect tense (trapassato prossimo) * future perfect tense (futuro anteriore) * conditional perfect tense (condizionale passato) ***Have a browse in my store for more Italian grammar activities, and a wide range of Italian language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bunles, resource boxes, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple in this bundle for you to try.*** *The product is non-editable in a zipped format.

ITALIAN VERBS CARDS MINI-BUNDLE
**KS3 ITALIAN KS4 ITALIAN GCSE ITALIAN A LEVEL ITALIAN GRAMMAR ITALIAN VERBS CARDS** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** ***198 high-frequency Italian verbs with 198 matching English verbs cards, 2 sets each with 99 Italian verbs and matching English verbs cards @ £1.75 in the bundle*** really do help to create a lively language learning environment, ideal for ***intermediate Italian*** students, and those preparing to move into and work confidently at ***advanced intermediate Italian*** level. The games and activities are a really successful alternative to more traditional 'vocabulary drilling' exercises. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their core ***Italian*** verbs vocabulary in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The game cards and accompanying ***Recall & Write activities*** have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing and spelling***. It doesn’t matter if any of the verbs don’t feature in your medium or even longer-term learning plan: this is a great way of encouraging your students to engage with new language, and to build their vocabulary at the same time. This prepares them really well for creative activities in ***Italian*** - they will have a rich vocabulary to choose from. Students can work independently of the teacher, challenging themselves and each other in their best Italian accent to find all the matching verbs cards in ***Italian and English***. The card templates allow students to ***apply their Italian knowledge practically and creatively***, as they put together mini-quiz cards for each other, preferably from memory. This is an essential aspect of successful language learning. The ***Reference, Recall & Write*** book has 18 pages. It includes an ***alphabetical Italian-English reference list*** of all 99 verbs. Students find this really useful as a learning support resource, and it comes in very handy for quick vocabulary quizzes too. The ***Recall and Write challenges*** help students familiarise themselves with, and really embed, the range of verbs in the set, and also get used to reading, writing and spelling in Italian. It’s also a great way of ***developing literacy skills in Italian***. The challenges can be done several times, as students simply cover previous responses, so they definitely get a lot of use from a single workbook. ***There are three differentiated recall challenges:*** ***Written Recall Challenge One*** students write the English verbs from an Italian prompt, with all the verbs in alphabetical order, Italian-English. ***Written Recall Challenge Two*** again, students write the verbs in English from an Italian prompt, but the Italian verbs are now in random, rather than alphabetical order. Language learners often learn or are familiar with new vocabulary in a particular order, so it increases the recall challenge by changing that order. ***Written Recall Challenge Three*** the final challenge requires students to write the corresponding Italian verb from an English prompt. The English verbs are also in random order. This challenge really helps with vocabulary recall, which is quite challenging when vocabulary does not appear in the context of a sentence. It's really useful for spelling in Italian too. I encourage students to visit the ***Ideas, Notes and Next Steps*** page regularly, reflecting not only on the verbs they feel confident about, but also how they think their skills in ***listening, speaking, pronouncing Italian, reading and writing are developing*** - and equally importantly, what they can reasonably do to keep improving. I always have activities where creative application of language is required too, so that they can use the verbs in ***real-world contexts***, which is ***essential for progressing in language learning***. We also use their notes to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which again is really useful, and a very popular activity with students too. The resource works best when used frequently and regularly - students should store their work carefully in a learning folder or file that they can refer to at any point to support their learning and revision. Students also note down any new, related vocabulary, which builds into a really comprehensive ***high-frequency Italian verb vocabulary ban***k in a very short space of time. Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the additional prep and expense is definitely worth it, as the cards will last in excellent conditional for years. Print & photocopy an appropriate number of quiz card templates and ***Reference, Recall & Write books***. The books are best copied double-sided, and double-stapled on the left-hand side, rather than a single staple in the top left-hand corner for example. This format is again far more reader and writer-friendly, and can be used more effectively as a learning and reference resource. ***Have a browse in my store for more Italian independent learning activities, and a wide range of other Italian teaching and learning materials, with Italian resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too - I've added a couple here for you to try.*** **GRAZIE MILLE E BUON APPRENDIMENTO!**
