The resource folder contains a word list (14 words or phrases) and 4 activities to reinforce vocabulary learning: a matching activity, a word search, a crossword, and a multiple choice sheet. The vocabulary is taken from the Edexcel GCSE 9-1 lists.

This group of resources is ideal for staff training and for older / more able classes. There are 5 folders in all: 3 containing presentations and supplementary materials, and 2 containing worksheets. Each of the presentation folders contains a PowerPoint show with animated slides, a PDF alternative which is great for classroom posters, and a set of presentation handouts. The vocabulary of verbs is introduced in the first presentation (infinitive, finite/non-finite, conjugation, inflection etc), and the two simple tenses (present simple and past simple) are covered. The second presentation is about the auxiliary verbs to be and to have, and how they are used with participles to form compound tenses (present and past progressive, and present and past perfect). The third presentation is about the uses of the auxiliary to do. (negatives of simple tenses, question formation, contradiction and emphasis.) The worksheets are at two different levels (3 versions of each). They are both about verb identification. The task is to write out the verb and give its tense. The easy set are all lines from well known nursery rhymes, with the verb in either the present simple or the past simple. The second set is much more difficult, and contains a mix of tenses, and includes compound verbs where the two elements are separated by adverbs or negatives. The answer sheet gives brief explanations in cases where there is potential difficulty.

The use of French articles is often different from English, and it is an area where even experienced students make mistakes.

The accompanying answers have explanatory notes referring students to the rules covered in the support sheet. Each worksheet has 8 short questions to be translated from English to French. One mark is awarded for getting the article right, and a second mark for the correctness of the whole response. Each of the sets would provide ideal independent work to follow on from an online lesson.
