This activity helps to consolidate the use of the Perfect Infinitive through a mosaic style translation. It is also a good springboard to further question pupils on some of the key aspects of the structure - for example ‘why did we need to use ‘apres etre’?’, what would you put if it was 'after brushing her hair?, ‘what would you change if the speaker was female?’ etc… as well as some other features such as ‘what is the difference between visiter and rendre visite’?, ‘how do the prepositions in the final column help us chose the correct answers?’ etc… It works really well if the pupils can use 6 different coloured highlighters! You could extend the activity by asking pupils to create new endings to follow the Perfect Infinitive structure or perhaps ask them to create a new Perfect Infinitive structure to start the sentence. You could even then ask pupils to read out their new start or new ending and ask the other pupils to decide which original start or ending it is linked to. The answers are included.

This activity encourages learners to practise their use of qui, que, dont by following a conversation between two friends about a new vegetarian restaurant and filling in the gaps with the correct relative pronouns.

A quick tenses review / consolidation worksheet where students have to circle the verb in the correct tense (including present / perfect / simple future / imperfect) followed by 4 sentences to conjugate verbs to form a correct ‘si clause’ structure using the imperfect and conditional tenses. Ideal as a homework task or class activity to assess learning and pinpoint any areas requiring review. Students could also translate the sentences as an extension exercise.

This activity works well in a class setting to show the structure (aimer + infinitive) in use and to recycle useful vocabulary. You could do 1) a quick verb review – I give the learners the English words and I read out the French. They number the words as they hear them (passive recall). When feeding back, I ask learners to say the English and then encourage them to say the French if possible (active recall) followed by a quick vocab recall activity. 2) I then just give the learners the sentences for the true, false, not mentioned and I read the passage (usually two or three times). 3) we check answers while reading together the passage and stopping after each passage to check understanding and to highlight examples of the aimer + infinitive structure and any others that follow this pattern 4) learners then model these structures to create their own sentences. Hope this helps!
