Intermediate Daily French Verbs Practise Sheets

Here are pages to help you study and test your knowledge of 38 French verbs. For each verb, there are six pages.

The first page (for the présent and passé composé) is to be filled out with the help of a reference guide, such as ‘Bescherelle: La Conjugaison’ (Hatier). You will use this sheet to study the verb in those two tenses, so copy them out carefully! At the bottom of the page, you must write three simple sentences to show that you know what this verb means and how to use the two tenses.

The second and third sheets are for testing purposes. Quiz 1 is identical to the very first page, only it is labelled as a quiz and requires that the student fill out the entire verb in order, from memory. The student must also indicate what the verb means in English, in the infinitive.

Quiz 2 is more of a challenge. The verbs are in reverse order (the passé composé comes first) and the persons are in random order (instead of the predictable ‘je, tu, il/elle, etc’ it is written ‘vous, je, ils/elles, etc.’). Again the student must write three sentences to show that they can actually use the verb and have not simply memorised it without knowing what it’s for.

The following three sheets follow the same pattern for the same verb, but review and test the imparfait and futur simple. The quizzes are labelled Quiz 3 and Quiz 4.
