French tenses – KS3-GCSE practice & reference pack

A complete GCSE French tenses toolkit bringing together two powerful resources: a detailed grammar reference mat and a full bank of differentiated interleaving starters designed to consolidate tense recall and fluency across the two GCSE years.

What’s included

• Grammar mat: clear reference for all GCSE tenses (present, perfect, imperfect, near future, simple future, conditional, subjunctive, present participle and pluperfect) with examples, sequencing phrases and time expressions for structured written and oral work.
• Starter bank: four-level collection of quick translation challenges covering all tenses, from single-verb drills to extended paragraphs. Differentiation built in:
  1 star = accessible practice for Foundation
  3 stars = complex multi-clause sentences for Higher stretch
• Built-in support boxes for reflexive verbs, Vandertramp, agreement and si-clauses.

Together, these tools establish a reliable 10-minute lesson routine that strengthens grammatical recall, builds translation accuracy and keeps tenses active from Year 9 through Year 11.
All answers are provided.

Available in PDF and editable PPTX.
