Thank you for downloading my favourite French song!
This is absolutely perfect for top set Year 11 French or a Year 12/13 to remind them of tenses. The song is an old one but so clear in pronunciation that students shouldn’t find the gap fills too difficult but may possibly find the tense sorting more of a challenge.
I have added on a few tasks to do with answers: song gap fill of just verbs in 6 different tenses, a verb tense sorting task and a find the French task. All tasks have the answers provided.
The tasks are good for Listening, Reading and Writing practice.
I hope your students enjoy and I hope it has saved you time!
