FRENCH FUTURE PERFECT TENSE RESOURCE BOX

A LEVEL FRENCH KS5 FRENCH HIGHER FRENCH ADVANCED FRENCH FUTURE PERFECT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE RESOURCE BOX

Five workbooks, each focusing on a particular French verb group in the ***future perfect tense (le futur antérieur)***, 150 conjugation questions (750 conjugations in total), and complete answer keys.

Ideal for advanced French students who are developing advanced conjugation skills in French, and working regularly with a broad range of language across the four key skills, including authentic resources.

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 / home language with that of the language they are learning, which can lead to forced errors. Students do need to to have a good grasp of the auxiliary verbs être and avoir in the future tense to ensure that they can form the future 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. With verbs taking the auxiliary être, students need to be careful with agreement too.

Reflexives tend to require additional practice - firstly, the correct reflexive pronoun, and secondly, its location within a clause or sentence in relation to the pronoun and verbs.

I’ve found that this kind of conjugation practice workbook really helps students to recognise and predict conjugation patterns, and 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 verbs groups are:

= regular French -ER verbs
= French -RE verbs
= French -IR & -OIR verbs
= high-frequency French verbs
= French reflexive verbs

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.
