A set of sentences in present tense, saying what time I do daily routine activities. Pupils read the sentences and sort into the correct order by their times. First page has more sentences, second page is easier with fewer sentences. Easy to photocopy, with 2 sets of sentences on each page.

There are 4 pages with this resource: page 1 is a set of sentences in the perfect tense which are used throughout the resource. You could use them as a matching activity (you say the English, pupils find the French) or a translation task. Page 2 is a gap-fill with the past participles missing: the sentences run in order from morning to bedtime, pupils choose the correct past participle from the box beneath. Page 3 has the answers to the gap-fill, but can also be used as an ordering task (chop up or shuffle first!). Page 4 has guidance for pupils to prepare their own sentences about their daily routine in the past tense.

A set of sentences in present tense for pupils to sort into school day or weekend.

Pupils could write their own sentences about a school day or the weekend, using these as prompts.
