A French worksheet with a set of sentences to be sorted into present or imperfect tense. Then pupils use the pairs of sentences to form sentences which compare then and now, e.g. When I was little I had short hair. Now that I am bigger I have long hair. Finally pupils can alter the sentences so they are true for their own personal information. This could be extended by asked for a variety of time markers and connectives, or more detailed descriptions.

The cards fit on one side of A4 and there's a grid to place the cards on if your pupils like visual sorting grids like this.
