The Imperfect Tense

There are five excellent resources included to teach the imperfect tense using three skills; reading, writing and listening.
The teacher PPT uses a visual step by step guide to the imperfect tense formation. The PPT also goes through irregular formations and when to use the imperfect tense. There is a crossword for a mini-progress check using 3 regular verbs; one for each verb group and also the verb “être”. There are 10 clues to solve. A worksheet is included for this.

There is a short passage for pupils to identify the imperfect tense in context. This would be great to use as a modelled example for pupils to reproduce a text of what their life was like when they were younger.

There is a translation exercise checking understanding of the different contexts of the imperfect tense.

There is then an exercise where the pupils decide whether the sentences are in the perfect or imperfect tense.

There is also a writing exercise where pupils build knowledge of 15 time markers associated with the imperfect tense. A worksheet is included for this.

There is a reading gap fill exercise where pupils conjugate the verb into the correct form of the imperfect tense. A worksheet is included for this.

The next exercise is a listening gap-fill from a YouTube clip of Aladdin. Pupils listen to part of the fairy tale and fill in the correct verb. A worksheet is included for this.

The final exercise is a creative writing exercise - pupils have a choice of 3 titles

As a plenary pupils refer to their learning journey completing a 3-2-1 block review.
