This file consists of two activities: 1. One of the most common (and essential) tense agreement in grammar (present, imperfect, pluperfect + future, conditional present and conditional past). 2. Indirect discourse and past tenses, with an activity for distinguishing the enunciation from the enunciated.

Avoiding mistakes between, say, “manger” and “mangé” in writing, the former following a modal verb, the latter an auxiliary (avoir/être).
Understanding the difference between infinitive (one person for two verbs, e.g. Je veux prendre le train) and subjunctive (two different people, e.g. Je veux que tu prennes le train).
