Here are 100 useful commonly used verbs in French which is suitable for Key Stage 3, 4 and 5. Print off both pages and then side both pages back to back and then laminate them!

Drill practice using the perfect subjunctive in French for those who find the formation difficult. This is the final stage as tenses beyond this level are incredibly rare. This stage is the toughest level, however this activity primarily focuses on the perfect tense in subjunctive format in all possible formation of regular and irregular verbs, which also include number and gender. This activity also revises Stage 8: The present subjunctive, Stage 7: The past conditional, Stage 6: The conditional, Stage 5: The future, Stage 4: The pluperfect tense, Stage 3: The imperfect tense, Stage 2: The perfect tense, Stage 1: The present tense. This activity is carried out in eight stages: Stage 1: Common basic irregular verbs: Aller, Faire, Avoir, Etre, Boire, Ouvrir, Prendre, Croire Stage 2: Regular -er verbs: Parler, Manger, Regarder, Partager, Entrer, Porter, Essayer, Envoyer Stage 3: Regular -ir verbs: Finir, Ralentir, Choisir, Grandir, Fournir, Batir Stage 4: Regular -re verbs: Vendre, Rendre, Attendre, Perdre, Repondre, Descendre, Entendre, Tendre Stage 5: Irregular -re verbs: Dire, Lire, Mettre, Ecrire, Suivre, Craindre, Comprendre, Inclure Stage 6: Irregular -ir verbs: Voir, Vouloir, Pouvoir, Savoir, Devoir Recevoir Stage 7: More irregular -ir verbs and intransitive verbs (verbs that take 'etre'): Tenir, Venir, Partir, Sortir, Revenir, Mourir Stage 8: Impersonal verbs and sample reflexive verbs: Pleuvoir, Falloir, Valoir, S'agir, Se reposer, S'attendre, Se souvenir It is difficult at times to remember the conjugation of the tenses which is why I have designed these activities as means of becoming deeply acquainted with the conjugation. Repetition is the key! There are two tests available which are titled as 'Partie 9-9: Test au subjonctif au passe' and 'Partie 9-9a: Test au niveau superieur'. Upon successfully passing these tests, your level of mastering the tenses in French would closely demonstrate characteristics of A2 level/Pre-University level.

Here is a presentation of demonstrative adjectives in French and it is very useful to teach them in the context of clothes shopping.

The first part looks at single words and the children write the correct letter in the box according to the word. The second part is more complex and is formatted as ‘true or false’ questions. The children listen to the sentences and look at the picture and decide if the sentences are true or false. 8 sentences will be ‘true’ and 8 will be ‘false’. In the next section, the children fill in the missing words in the sentences by choosing the choice of answers in the box below the picture. The children read the instructions of the living room and the garden and they cut out and paste the pictures according to the given instructions. Spot the differences - children write down any 10 differences between the two pictures. If there is insufficient space in the workbook, they can write them in their exercise book. There is vocabulary available below the picture in order to assist them with this and you can model some example answers with them and use assessment for learning techniques to show they understand if required.

Students who are studying the IGCSE French course need to know the names of various cakes and pastries served at the bakery, which gives the students a deeper insight into French cuisine. Before working on this workbook, it would be an idea to buy a variety of different French cakes and pastries for the students to sample, unless they have any specific dietary requirements or allergies. The activities are very well sequenced and they are also tailored to students of IGCSE level which includes listening, reading comprehension and writing in addition to open questioning. For the spot the difference activity, this could be used as an oral activity, assisting the students as necessary. They can write their answers down following the oral element of the activity. This resource contains: 1 workbook 1 transcript for the listening activity 1 sound file for the listening activity Happy teaching and learning!
