25 high-frequency French verbs, listed alphabetically French-English and English-French ideal as a year-round reference resource, and students find it particularly useful for exam revision, whether working in class time or at home. It’s useful for advanced beginner French students to provide a language learning map and for intermediate French students who are working with more complex language and texts, including authentic resources, and as a French vocabulary audit and enrichment.
The verbs are all in the infinitive form and feature high-frequency French verbs that I work with in the advanced beginner to intermediate stages of my French learning programs. It’s important in language learning to ensure that students quickly develop a useful verb vocabulary bank, are able to recognise high-frequency verbs, and are confident with the meaning of those verbs in their first or home language. At that point students can move swiftly on to looking at conjugation and using the verbs in a communicative and practical context, enabling them to produce more detailed and descriptive language. This is an integral element to successful language learning.
Students shouldn’t take on the task of learning long lists of verbs or other vocabulary all at once though: frequent and regular use in real-world practical contexts is far more successful at embedding vocabulary into longer-term memory. I also use the books for quick vocabulary quizzes, again at frequent and regular intervals - I simply shout out the French or English verb, the first student or team to shout out the correct answer wins a point. I’ve found this to be a really successful alternative to more formal vocabulary testing.
The list is a great time-saver for teachers too - if you’re preparing resources focusing on high-frequency French verbs for your students, the list is a good starting point.
There are two backgrounds to choose from - French flag, which I generally use for French vocabulary display or French grammar display, and plain.
My students find these freebie French verbs super simple vocabulary worksheets really helpful - download them here:

FRENCH NEAR FUTURE TENSE RESOURCE BOX #1
**GCSE FRENCH KS4 FRENCH KS3 FRENCH NEAR FUTURE TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE** There are five workbooks, each focusing on a particular French verb group in the near ***future tense (le futur proche)***, with ***150 conjugation questions (750 conjugations in total)***, and ***complete answer keys, five workbooks @ £1 each***. **The verbs groups are:** ***regular French -ER verbs regular & irregular French -RE verbs regular & irregular French -IR & -OIR verbs regular & irregular high-frequency French verbs 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. There are ***150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges with a full answer key in each set***. 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 and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they're really versatile, and ideal for ***advanced KS3 French to beginner KS4 French*** students who are beginning to work with texts that feature multiple tenses, want to practise and refresh their conjugation skills in ***French***, and practice the ***near future tense in French*** a little more. 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. ***The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage***, but 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 tend to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language, with the language they are learning. For example, students with ***English as a first language*** students often use the construct ***je suis aller travailler*** instead of ***je vais travailler*** as a translation of ***I am going to work***. Usage in both ***English and French*** is really similar with this tense, and I do always discuss that this is not always the case with tenses and moods in languages. 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, 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. ***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, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles, resource boxes, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** *The product is non-editable in a zipped format.

FRENCH TELLING TIME I HAVE WHO HAS
***FRENCH TELLING TIME GAMES*** **Telling Time in French** - featuring every analogue clock time with matching clock faces - six games, six challenges! ***I HAVE, WHO HAS?*** is a great language learning game. The repetitive nature of the questions and answers, supported by the visual prompt of the clock faces, makes it perfect for practicing, reinforcing & refreshing how to tell time in **French**. It’s a whole-group communicative game, with a multi-skill focus on speaking, listening, reading, vocabulary-building and developing accurate pronunciation. The game really does help to create a lively language learning environment, and is a great alternative to more traditional 'drilling' activities. This bundle features 3 separate games sets, each with a particular range of clock times - across the three sets, every single analog clock time is used. There are four cards per 8.5 x 11 page - I always make sure that font and text size is fairly large for **beginner French** and **Primary French** learners, as it's essential that the text - and therefore language - is fully accessible. In the **Primary French** classroom, we do often have learners who are just beginning to learn how to tell time in their first language, so it's really important to make learning **French** manageable in my view. There's definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - but it's definitely worth the extra time, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly when they are sturdier, and they last for years too. Groups of students can play different games against a timer in a competition - who can complete their timeline first? It's great fun, and really popular. There are two games in each set, with a different challenge: **CHALLENGE ONE**: with all the the clock times in numerical order, which is how they probably first learn the times **CHALLENGE TWO:** with the all the clock times in topsy-turvy order, which really helps recall and embedding new language When my students have created their time lines, often against a timer for a little competitive edge as they love to see if they can beat their own time challenge, we read the times out in their '***best French accent***' for additional reinforcement and pronunciation practice! All files are non-editable files in a zipped format. I've also included a couple of my popular freebies that you may not have seen.
