Perfect Infinitive - Mosaic Translation Activity

This activity helps to consolidate the use of the Perfect Infinitive through a mosaic style translation. It is also a good springboard to further question pupils on some of the key aspects of the structure - for example ‘why did we need to use ‘apres etre’?’, what would you put if it was 'after brushing her hair?, ‘what would you change if the speaker was female?’ etc… as well as some other features such as ‘what is the difference between visiter and rendre visite’?, ‘how do the prepositions in the final column help us chose the correct answers?’ etc… It works really well if the pupils can use 6 different coloured highlighters! You could extend the activity by asking pupils to create new endings to follow the Perfect Infinitive structure or perhaps ask them to create a new Perfect Infinitive structure to start the sentence. You could even then ask pupils to read out their new start or new ending and ask the other pupils to decide which original start or ending it is linked to. The answers are included.
