KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH GCSE FRENCH PRESENT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE FOCUS ON 25 HIGH-FREQUENCY FRENCH -IR & -OIR 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 a full answer key and verb lists. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for homework, for practice and revision during holidays and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they’re really versatile, and ideal for advanced***KS3 French & KS4 French*** students who want to practice and refresh their conjugation skills in French, and are beginning to work with more complex language and texts, with a range of tenses.
Though the workbook focuses 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, recognize 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.
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.

FRENCH RESOURCE BOX #2
**FRENCH RESOURCE BOX : FIVE RESOURCES, FIVE POUNDS £5** ***The resource consists of non-editable files in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way, The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** ***This French resource box is ideal for KS3 French, KS4 French and GCSE French revision***. There are 5 resources, each for £1, featuring ***active, differentiated, multi-skill and independent learning activities***. Some of the resources overlap learning stages, though I’ve found that students, regardless of ages, often benefit from, and genuinely enjoy, working with activities that are primarily designed for other ability or knowledge stages. This may be either as ***practice and revision***, or as ***additional or more accessible and manageable challenge***. These factors are all key to motivating learners to engage with, and progress in, a new language. There’s certainly prep work involved with some of the resources – I always laminate my language and challenge cards for example, as they’re much more easy to manipulate, and so far more learner-friendly. They do however last in excellent condition for years, so for me, laminating is definitely worth the prep time and extra expense. You don’t have to prepare them all at once – the resources are definitely useful for the longer-term, so you can take your time with the prep, focusing on what you’re working with at any specific stage. Over time, I’ve created activity folders with ready-made resources in, and give my students free-choice time – alone, in pairs or small groups. They decide what they’d like to work on for half an hour or so, and sometimes even a full lesson. We do this pretty regularly, as it’s great for keeping language fresh, and ideal for both ***consolidation and revision***. Additionally, and equally importantly, it helps students ***develop independent learning skills***, moving away from teacher-led learning, and ***gives them real insight into their own learning progress***. The workbooks, worksheets and word searches for example are good to go – simply print and photocopy. ***Resource 1*** ***100 French conversation starters*** This set of French conversation starters features ***100 starters in question format***, suitable for ***advanced beginner French*** students who are moving into ***intermediate French***. Speaking is a language skill that learners tend to find very challenging, and increased engagement with language that requires them to both reproduce language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is ***integral to successful language learning***. ***Read the full outline here:*** **100 FRENCH CONVERSATION STARTERS FOR ADVANCED BEGINNER FRENCH INTO INTERMEDIATE FRENCH** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-conversation-starters-1-12849020](http://) ***Resource 2*** ***French Numbers 0-100 Ten differentiated word searches with answer keys*** Word searches are a fabulous way of encouraging learners to engage with the written word, practicing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This set features ten differentiated word searches, focusing on ***French Numbers 0-100***, with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. The searches offer a really useful learning opportunity - enabling learners to engage with the target vocabulary, but also aligning with cross-curricular learning - working on reading, writing, spelling, numeracy and ***French language skills*** in general. ***Read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100 : 10 DIFFERENTIATED WORD SEARCHES WITH ANSWER KEYS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-numbers-0-100-word-searches-12837271](http://) ***Resource 3*** ***French-speaking countries flags, label & colour worksheets*** provide great learning opportunities for any appropriate age group, at any time of the school year, and are definitely the perfect activity for consolidating knowledge of these countries and flags - students definitely really enjoy testing their memory and colouring the flags. There are ***four sets of worksheets***, each with four pages, with an accompanying 2-page reference list of all countries, capital cities and flags. ***Read the full outline here:*** **FRENCH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES FLAGS LABEL & COLOUR WORKSHEETS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-speaking-countries-flags-label-and-colour-12565188](http://) ***Resource 4*** ***French telling the time challenge cards range of analogue clock times*** These 60 challenge cards are perfect for ***developing French language skills*** in general, as well as for ***practising and revising how to tell the time in French***.

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. ***Try this free sampler to see whether this kind of activity would work well for your students:*** **FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE FREE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-verbs-conjugation-practice-sampler-12307809](http://) ***Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for each of these verbs groups across the following tenses:*** present tense *(le présent)* simple future tense *(le futur simple)* near future tense *(le futur proche)* perfect tense *(le passé composé)* imperfect tense *(l'imparfait)* conditional tense *(le conditionnel)* pluperfect tense *(le plus-que-parfait)* future perfect tense *(le futur antérieur)* conditional perfect tense *(le conditionnel passé)* ***Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, with a wide range of French language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a selection here.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BONNE CONJUGAISON !**
