Mastering grammar: verbs and tenses (German) is designed to teach and review the key verb forms and tenses required by the GCSE curriculum at both Foundation tier and Higher tier. It is suitable for use with key stage 3 and key stage 4 students across a wide range of abilities and is not specific to a particular exam board.
The aim of the pack is to make the grammar appear logical and accessible by drawing students’ attention to patterns through fun, communicative activities that are informed by aspects of Gianfranco Conti’s EPI approach, including ‘mind reader’, ‘find someone who’ and ‘pyramid translation’.
What’s included?
The pack consists of nine units, one on each of the following tenses / verb forms:
present tense
perfect tense
imperfect tense
future tense
conditional tense and imperfect subjunctive
modal verbs
word order, including negatives and questions
reflexive verbs
the imperative and man
plus a review unit at the end.
The units are not intended as schemes of work but rather as a bank of ideas from which you can pick one activity or a series of activities at a level appropriate for your class. The examples used cover a variety of topics so that the activities can be integrated into your teaching at any point in the course. The vocabulary has deliberately been kept very simple, enabling students to concentrate on understanding and practising the grammar. There is particular focus on negatives and questions as examiners’ reports indicate that candidates often struggle with these.
Each unit includes:
an explanatory PowerPoint
awareness-raising activities (‘recognising the tense’)
practice activities (ranging from receptive knowledge through structured production to freer practice)
assessment tasks (receptive and productive knowledge)
answers (for activities with ‘right/wrong’ answers).
The PowerPoint teaches the grammar point explicitly, starting with a comparison of the English tense / verb form with the German one. If you have weaker students, you could show them the explanatory PowerPoint after the activities, or not at all. If you have more able students or prefer a more traditional approach, you could show them the PowerPoint explanation before starting the activities.

The oracy templates are customisable, so you can adapt them to suit the needs of your learners, the topics you are teaching, and your teaching context.
Our templates cover a range of skills, from active listening to persuasive speaking, and can be easily adapted to suit different subjects and learning levels. Whatever your subject area or year group, you’ll find ideas for modelling effective group discussion, using different types of questions, including Socratic questions, and helping students to recognise different tones of voice through role-play activities.
Whether you’re a new or experienced teacher, our downloadable whole-school oracy templates will enhance your teaching and benefit your students. These oracy skills are based on an established oracy framework and oracy-based pedagogy from Voice21 and Oracy Cambridge which focuses on four foundational oracy skills for young people: physical, linguistic, cognitive, and social and emotional.
What’s included?
There are 15 printable templates included in this 40-page downloadable pack, ranging from oracy starters and icebreakers to classroom activities and complete lesson ideas to develop students’ speaking skills.
