French: Stage 6: The conditional

(0)
Drill practice using the conditional tense in French for those who find tense formation difficult. This stage will greatly focus on the use of irregular verbs and the endings in the conditional tense according to the subjects. This stage also revises Stage 5: The future, Stage 4: The pluperfect tense, Stage 3: The imperfect tense, Stage 2: The perfect tense and Stage 1: The present tense. This activity is carried in eight stages: Stage 1: Common basic irregular verbs: Aller, Faire, Avoir, Etre, Boire, Ouvrir, Prendre, Croire Stage 2: Regular -er verbs: Parler, Manger, Regarder, Partager, Entrer, Porter, Essayer, Envoyer Stage 3: Regular -ir verbs: Finir, Ralentir, Choisir, Grandir, Fournir, Batir Stage 4: Regular -re verbs: Vendre, Rendre, Attendre, Perdre, Repondre, Descendre, Entendre, Tendre Stage 5: Irregular -re verbs: Dire, Lire, Mettre, Ecrire, Suivre, Craindre, Comprendre, Inclure Stage 6: Irregular -ir verbs: Voir, Vouloir, Pouvoir, Savoir, Devoir Recevoir Stage 7: More irregular -ir verbs and intransitive verbs (verbs that take 'etre'): Tenir, Venir, Partir, Sortir, Revenir, Mourir Stage 8: Impersonal verbs and sample reflexive verbs: Pleuvoir, Falloir, Valoir, S'agir, Se reposer, S'attendre, Se souvenir It is difficult at times to remember the conjugation of the tenses which is why I have designed these activities as means of becoming deeply acquainted with the conjugation. Repetition is the key! There are two tests available for the perfect tense which are titled as 'Partie 6-9: Test au conditionnel' and 'Partie 6-9a: Test au niveau superieur'. I would recommend taking these tests before commencing 'Partie 7: Le temps au conditionnel anterieur'
