French - English Matching Cards & PowerPoint: The Imperfect Tense Teaching Resources.

This PowerPoint consists of two slides to elicit the formation of the Imperfect Tense used to express what you used to do. The first PowerPoint slides instructs the students as follows:
All: match cards. On these cards what do we use the imperfect tense to express?
Most: What are the endings (you have to figure out some!): je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles.
Some: Can you figure out how to form the stem? (no chance!). Perfect Pronunciation Challenge and QFQs!
* QFQs = Quick Fire Questions where one student closes their eyes and the other quizes them in what is on the cards: English to French translations, French to English, formation etc. Tell them to come up with really challenging questions!

The second slide has the answers!
