Le passé composé et le weekend dernier - describing weekend activities using the passé composé

Objective: To learn how to form the passé composé of regular -er verbs in French to be able to describe what you did last weekend.

This resource was originally designed for a year 8 French class (their first year of French) but can be used with Year 7 and lower set year 9.

Activity 1 - revision of past tense time phrases and regular -er verbs.

Activity 2 - explanation of the past tense in English then the equivalent in French. This then leads to an explanation of how the passé composé is formed. There is a 4 step guide for students.

Activity 3 - mini whiteboard activity to practise forming the past tense. This gradually gets more difficult.

Activity 4 - A speaking questionnaire activity.

Activity 5 - Putting sentences from the present tense into the past tense

Activity 6 - Translating from English to French.

Activity 7 - A writing task. An example of a good paraphraph is provided to help students identify what they must include.

All answers to exercises are already on the slides.
