A worksheet with 4 different tasks to practice using the perfect tense in German. Pupils have to translate short sentences into English, then choose correct vocab to complete the German sentences. They find out past participles of common verbs and write them in English as well, and finally translate some English sentences into German, using vocab from the earlier tasks. Answers provided on page 2 of the document.
I have used these worksheets, tasks and activities with KS3 German classes. They are mostly based around grammar, especially present tense and perfect tense. Some are also suitable as revision or reinforcement tasks for KS4 pupils. The worksheets are useful for setting cover work. Save 50% by buying the bundle instead of the same resources separately. I’ve included some free resources just because they match the group.
A French worksheet about holidays, with five short texts written in the first person and using three time frames. Pupils are asked to complete a grid in French to show they can identify the location of each holiday, the type of accommodation and any other details they can.
A set of 30 sentences written in German perfect tense, a range of subjects and verbs used, including some questions. None of the sentences have spaces between the words, so pupils must write them out correctly with spaces in. They must also translate the sentences into English. Some English translations are given below the sentences, to provide assistance. The first page has capital letters on the nouns, making it slightly easier. The second page has no capitals - you could also remove the English assistance on this page to make it harder again. Answers are provided on the third page. This is a straightforward and fairly simple task, suitable for those just learning the perfect tense, or needing a quick revision task.
This worksheet has 3 tasks: first pupils read short sentences in French and choose the correct reflexive pronoun to complete the gaps. Then they decide whether each sentence is in past, present or future tense. Finally they translate the sentences into English. Sentences are all about what time people do things in their daily routine.
This worksheet uses only the first person and mainly asks for comprehension of short sentences in the perfect tense: match the French and English, match the French to pictures. the final task asks for pupils to produce their own sentences, which can be done by referring to the list of vocab and mixing and matching ideas from the first two tasks. The theme of the sentences is free time.
A two-sided worksheet which works through a set of tasks, leading up to two translations. It starts with simple tasks to complete the spellings of verbs in the present then perfect tense, asking pupils to translate these sentences too. Then a task using Ich möchte/Ich will/Ich werde + infinitive to translate sentences into German. Then a more open-ended task for pupils to make up their own sentences in all three tenses; this task can be made more challenging by requiring more able pupils to include certain additional information if you choose. Finally there is a pair of paragraphs for translation, one into English and another into German. The translations are both on the theme of holidays. Answers provided on same document. I have used this with y10 and y11, but also suitable for confident KS3 pupils who have covered the tenses.

Then they must find the French vocab in the text which corresponds to a list of vocab in English. Finally they are asked to produce their own paragraph about their own daily routine, using vocab they have seen on the previous tasks. Could be extended into a speaking and listening activity, with pupils reading their text to a partner, who has to note the main points, for example.
