French Past Conditional Lesson - Should have, Could have, Would have
This resource includes the following:
➯ A set of 25 numbered cards with sentences written in English that students will then translate to French. A numbered answer key is also included so that students can work on their own. It is expected that students also know some other past tenses and some simple pronouns that are normally taught way before the past conditional.
➯ A one page printable reference guide that folds into a booklet that students can use for easy reference. The booklet includes all of the essential information needed for saying should have, could have, and would have.
➯ A two page study guide on forming the present conditional that highlights how to say should have, could have, and would have. If you do double-sided printing you can still just pass out one sheet of paper. The study guide is jam packed with everything you need to know about the past conditional.
Here’s the link to my video tutorial on how to use should have, could have, and would have in the past conditional. The study guide included with this resource follows the information given in the video lesson.
French verb FALLOIR - Present tense with indirect object pronouns
This French lesson is for intermediate learners who have learned IL FAUT and INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS. It is meant to show the many ways to use the verb FALLOIR - NEED without using the subjunctive. Students will learn the different meanings this verb can have and how to easily start speaking more like a French person in terms of expressing what they need (instead of using AVOIR BESOIN DE and DEVOIR).
Here’s what’s included:
Video tutorial - 23 minutes
Thorough 1 page study guide - PDF
80 practice cards using FALLOIR + numbered answer key
This resource includes two versions of the 80 practice cards. One version has four cards per page that you can print and cut them out in case you want your students to work with a partner or in small groups. The other version is a PDF with only one card per page so that you can either project them for a whole class activity or have students practice on their tablets or computers.
This resource includes a video lesson which you may or may not choose to use, but even if you want to teach the lesson yourself I think you and your students will appreciate the one page study guide that is included. I’ve put all of the important information from my video lesson on it as well as some helpful hints.
The 80 practice cards will help students to know how to talk about what they must do, what they have to do, and what they need.
Depuis, pendant, il y a, pour: Complete lesson, study guide, 50 practice cards
This French lesson plan will shed some light on when to use depuis, pendant, il y a, and pour when expressing time, which can be a very difficult topic for native English speakers. This resource includes a link to my 20 minute video tutorial on YouTube (here is the link if you’d like to have a look), a two page lesson guide that is useful whether you choose to show the video or not, and 50 practice cards that you can either print and cut out to have students work in small groups or that you can project for a whole class activity.
All of the cards are numbered and an answer key is provided. This easily allows students to work and practice independently or with a partner.

You're going to love this powerpoint FRENCH ALLER EXPRESSIONS JEOPARDY GAME with all the bells and whistles. It even has the JEOPARDY music, A DAILY DOUBLE and FINAL JEOPARDY.
This is a version that I’ve worked out the kinks on for the last 20 years of playing it with my students. The answers don’t have to be given in the form of a question unless you want to play that way. My students absolutely love this game, and so do I. They get very excited about it and always look forward to JEOPARDY DAY.
I have included detailed directions, rules and tips for game playing.
This game is a lot of fun after having spent time teaching the verb aller. I've spent years working out the best way to play this game in a classroom setting, and it works so well that I went into a lot of detail in the instructions. The game includes 6 categories, a daily double, and a final jeopardy question. If you have any questions at all about the game, please feel free to write to me: french@lovelearninglanguages.com
