Welcome to Stage 2-2 !

This is a very good way of introducing the conjugation either when teaching it for the very first time or revision.

By the end of the 72nd stage, learners will have a developed a very profound mastery of not only forming nine different tenses which range with complexity upon progression, but also, an exhaustive range of different verbs which have been very carefully divided stage by stage. Upon completion of Stage 9-8, the final stage of the process, will immensely prepare students to pursue with their French studies at university level, where they will inevitably be using tenses. It is also suitable for adult learners, again whether they are learning it for the first time or revision.

Students might become acquainted with the use of 'etre' as an auxiliary verb for the first time. In order for them to understand its function more proficiently, it would be a very good idea to write up two columns on the board 'Je suis alle' and 'Je suis allee'. Then, write up a list of names of the students on the board of who would say what. I found that my previous students enjoyed this activity and it is fun! You can also try the same method with 'vous etes alle', 'vous etes alles', etc, obviously with singular and plural nouns as well differentiated gender.
