Use this PPT to introduce pupils to how to say ‘some’ in French. It begins by introducing different food and drink, using ‘some’. Pupils must identify the 4 different ways to say ‘some’. They are then taught the rules and then must identify whether the French matches the images. The images then rush across the screen and pupils must give the French. Finally, there is a matching activity.

Translation pairwork template

Pupils work in pairs. Give them a text to translate on the sheet individually to start with, then they swap for their partner to check (in their opinion). Their partner puts a mark in the box (my pupils like drawing sad faces for some reason!) for each error they think their partner has made. Encourages discussion.
