This PowerPoint starts by eliciting the definitions of the infinitive (the 3 kinds of verbs are -er, -ir and -re) and conjugation. The next slide elicits the different subject pronouns. Slide 5 elicits the conjugation of Aimer and slide 6 elicits the rules for conjugating -er verbs.
The final slide resumes the rules for -er verbs and sets the following differentiated ask (this slide could be printed off):
All: Use colour, pictures, analogies etc to remember how to conjugate regular –er verbs. Write 7 sentences using regular –er verbs.
Most: Write 7 complex sentences for exercise, using connectives, adjetives, adverbs and opinions.
Some: Include regular –ir and –re verbs (see verb tables).
Regular er verbs: aimer = to like, arriver = to arrive, chanter = to sing, danser = to dance, jouer = to play, penser = to think, rêver = to dream, travailler = to work, voyager =to travel, détester = to hate, regarder = to watch, collectionner = to collect.
There is also a link to the fabulous Conjugation Back song on YouTube. Whilst this is for Spanish, it clearly illustrates the idea of conjugation.
English - French Matching Cards:
As well as regular -er verbs in the present tense I have included one perfect tense and one near future tense phrase to challenge the stronger students.
Expressions:
Je joue au tennis depuis dix ans.
Nous adorons le français car c’est très intéressant !
Il mange beaucoup de croissants.
Je vais regarder la télé avec ma sœur.
Tu aimes les chevaux?
Ils jouent du piano trois fois par semaine.
Nous avons écouté des chansons françaises.
Vous détestez le chou? Moi aussi!
You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example,
Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation.
Level 2 = match the cards , discuss the pronunciation and then have quick fire questions from French to English, whereby 1 student closes their eyes and their partner reads out the French cards which the student must translate into English from memory.
Level 3 = As Level 2 but the quick fire questions are from English to French.
Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the French cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!
