French: Stage 4: The pluperfect tense

9 Resources
Welcome to Stage 4: The Pluperfect Tense Well done on mastering Stage 3: The Imperfect tense! As I have outlined in all the stages for mastering the tenses in French, I have designed each stage which deals with the necessary tenses and stage 4 is the pluperfect tense. I cover a wide range of verbs that I deem necessary in one's learning of the language. Not only have I made a huge bundle which consists of over 50 verbs in the pluperfect tense, but the conjugation workbook is also included, which is required from Key stage 4 onwards or whether adults are learning it for the very first time. This bundle will be useful for either teaching the tenses for the first time or revision. Normally I sell each part for £3 each and the workbook for £5, but for £17.50 (which would normally be £29 for all 9 items!), you will have the following: Part 1: Primary irregular -ir verbs: Aller, Avoir, Boire, Croire, Etre, Faire, Ouvrir, Prendre Part 2: Regular -er verbs: Arriver, Entrer, Essayer, Manger, Parler, Partager, Porter, Regarder Part 3: Regular -ir verbs: Bleuir, Choisir, Finir, Grandir, Ralentir, Refroidir, Rougir Part 4: Regular -re verbs: Attendre, Perdre, Rendre, Vendre, Descendre, Entendre, Repondre Part 5: Irregular -re verbs: Dire, Ecrire, Lire, Mettre, Suivre, Connaitre Part 6: Irregular -ir verbs: Devoir, Pouvoir, Savoir, , Voir, Vouloir Part 7: More irregular -ir verbs and intransitive verbs: Partir, Sortir, Tenir, Venir, Mourir Part 8: Impersonal verbs and reflexive verbs: Falloir, Pleuvoir, S'agir, ,Valoir, Se laver, Se servir de, Se souvenir Stage 4: The imperfect tense workbook Once again, for all 9 items this is incredibly great value which is a big reduction from £29 down to £17.50! Do take advantage of this offer and I wish you very happy teaching and learning!

Stage 6-5: Presentation of irregular '-re' verbs in the conditional tense

(0)
Welcome to Stage 6-5! The purpose of this powerpoint is to become deeply acquainted with the formation of tenses and verbs, especially for those who have difficulties in doing so. This is a very good way of introducing the conjugation either when teaching it for the very first time or revision. This is the 45th stage of the learning process and there are 72 stages in the entire process. By the end of the 72nd stage, learners will have a developed a very profound mastery of not only forming nine different tenses which range with complexity upon progression, but also, an exhaustive range of different verbs which have been very carefully divided stage by stage. Upon completion of Stage 9-8, the final stage of the process, will immensely prepare students to pursue with their French studies at university level, where they will inevitably be using tenses. It is also suitable for adult learners, again whether they are learning it for the first time or revision. This folder contains the following irregular '-re' verbs in the conditional tense: Dire Lire Ecrire Mettre Connaitre Craindre Suivre Inclure When showing each slide, there is an audio clip on each new item that you can click on and you will hear my voice which demonstrates the pronunciation of each item, or alternatively, you can lead the pronunciation of each item. It is up to you! The learners will then reiterate the new items every time they see the slide 'This time you try it!' You will be very surprised to see how it will stick in their minds!! I would strongly encourage you to purchase the follow-up activity 'French: Stage 6: The conditional tense', which enables students to manually complete the drills based on what they have learnt. They are £5. Upon completion of Stage 6-8, there are tests also available. Happy teaching and learning and the very best of luck!!
