GCSE FRENCH KS4 FRENCH KS3 FRENCH PERFECT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE featuring 25 high-frequency French -ER 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 with complete answer key.
The workbook focuses on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the language they are learning, and with students whose first language is English, I frequently see students confusing the use of the auxiliaries avoir and être for example. Students do need to to have a good grasp of the auxiliary verbs in the present tense to ensure that they can form the perfect tense accurately. In terms of the past participle, students begin to be able to predict it accurately, the more they see it, and construct it. I also refer frequently the differences in usage between English and French in the perfect tense, which are quite significant.
The resource is structured as follows:
-
Two alphabetical verb reference lists: French-English and English-French
-
Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations:
Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation
Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French
Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French 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

FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE PRESENT PERFECT IMPERFECT TENSES
**GCSE FRENCH KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH ALEVEL FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE** ***3 tenses, 5 verb groups, 15 workbooks, 2,250 conjugations, answer keys and verb lists @ 65p each in the bundle*** Ideal for ***upper KS3 French*** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in ***French*** through to ***KS4 French*** students who are regularly working with texts featuring a range of tenses, including authentic resources. The workbooks are really useful to ***A Level French*** students too, as a quick conjugation refresher as they begin their ***A Level French*** course. ***The tenses are:*** = present tense (le présent) = perfect tense (le passé composé) = imperfect tense (l'imparfait) ***The verb groups are:*** = regular French -ER verbs = French -RE verbs = French -IR & -OIR verbs = high-frequency French verbs = French reflexive 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. 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, reinforcing and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programmes, so that students can ***apply language practically and creatively***, which is ***essential for progressing in language learning***, as well as consolidating language and grammatical concepts. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole school year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***French conjugation*** 'works'. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language, with that of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***imperfect tense in French***, students with ***English*** as a first language often use the construct ***j'étais travailler*** instead of ***je travaillais as a translation of I was working***. They may look for a direct equivalent of the notion of ***used to...***, before they grasp that the ***notion of used to... is implicit in the conjugation of the verb*** itself. There are specific differences in usage between ***English and French*** with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with ***le passé composé and l'imparfait***, because students are then able to compare and contrast both formation and usage, which really helps them learn and understand correct forms and usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example ***I have worked, I worked, I was working, I used to work***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between ***English and French***, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***imperfect tense in French***. Though the workbooks focus 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 French is accurate***, and that their understanding of ***French*** across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. ***Each set is structured as follows:*** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: French-English and English-French. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding French 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. ***Have a look at this French quick conjugation workbook sampler to see if this kind of workbook will work well with your students:*** **FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-verbs-conjugation-practice-sampler-12307809](http://) ***Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, with a wide range of French language teaching and learning materials, with dollar deals, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too - I've added a couple here for you to try.*** *All files are non-editable files in a zipped format.

The workbook focuses 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. I encourage students to look for ***patterns*** across all the verbs, such as the ***singular pronouns***, including the ***pronoun on*** form being identical, pointing out also that on is commonly used in ***spoken and written French***, also meaning ***we***, unlike the English pronoun ***one***. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, students whose first language is *English* do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in both languages, and I frequently see students confusing the use of the ***auxiliaries avoir and être***.
