Hi everyone!
Teaching grammar can be a little bit scary if we don't know where to start. To get you started with the challenging French grammar here's a bundle with 5 tenses:
1. The simple present
2. The perfect tense (passé-composé)
3. The imperfect tense (imparfait)
4. The future (near future tense and simple future)
5. The conditional present
For each tense you will find a powerpoint (between 16/22 slides) with clear explanations and corrections to save you time.
Each powerpoint comes with its booklet (about 5 pages) so that students can keep track of their learning with exercises and explanations. The powerpoint is fully editable so that you can adapt it to your class. The advantage of the booklet is that students can work at their own pace and most able students can move on to the next activity easily.
Each lesson follows a similar pattern:
1. Introduction to the grammar point through a real context (reading, song or video)
2. Questions to guide students in their discovery of the grammar
3. Explanations of the tense (use and formation)
4. Exercises (progressive ones from easy ones to more difficult ones: filling-gap, matching-up, speaking activities, games, writing...)

Teaching grammar and vocabulary to beginners in ESL is not always easy. By the time we complete a Unit, many students will have forgotten important vocabulary and grammar points! So consolidation of the knowledge is absolutely vital!
How about having all the grammar and vocabulary in one place with explanations, exercises and feedback?
This flexible resource will help you teach young adults and adults about the main grammatical points for beginners. You can select which point you want to consolidate by simply the content page or just follow the order of the lesson
You could use it as a review, grammatical introduction or even homework to consolidate your students’ knowledge about:
Vocabulary:
Vacations
Weather
Hobbies
Days of the week
Extreme sports
Movies
TV programs
Grammar:
Suggestions
Likes/dislikes
Present continuous
Each slide of the 31-slide powerpoint comes with notes to help you guide your students. You will find a wide range of activities (filling-gaps, matching-up, answering questions, reordering activity, labelling, reading, word search…) and allow them to work at their own pace. All the exercises are corrected to save you time.
You will also get the handout with 10 pages so that students can keep a written track of their learning.
