French: The subjunctive in a nutshell - Part 2: regular '-ir' verbs with importance and desire

(0)
Here is the second installment of the subjunctive. As you know, mastering the subjunctive is tricky business and it is more geared towards A-Level French. This activity basically describes more functions of the subjunctive in a nutshell in terms of importance and desire and it contains step by step methods as to how to form it. Part 2 solely focuses on how to form regular ‘-ir’ verbs in the subjunctive mood. Accompanied with this resource, is a unique workbook, in which the expressions using expressions of importance and desire are incorporated in the form of a cartoon story where the students search for the expressions used. Before reading the story, I would recommend teaching the vocabulary in the powerpoint and get students to write out sample sentences. There are also subsequent activities, very similar to the ones in the powerpoint. Parts 3-12 of the subjunctive are also available on my online shop, however I still have yet to modify the resources and install the workbooks for these parts. The powerpoint lesson in these parts are only available at the moment. Keep an eye out for the sequels to the other functions of the subjunctive. I still have to put them up. Happy teaching and learning!

The subjunctive can be briefly introduced at IGCSE French level as students can be encouraged to implement more complex grammar structures in their writing in order to boost their marks further and is widely used as A-Level. Because the subjunctive can be used in so many different contexts and situations, I have devised its concept into various installments. This bundle includes the whole set consisting of the twelve installments of the subjunctive which are as follows: Part 1: Regular ‘-er’ verbs and expressions of emotion Part 2: Regular ‘-ir’ verbs and expressions of obligation and desire Part 3: Regular ‘-re’ verbs and certain conjunctions Part 4: Irregular primary verbs ‘aller’, ‘etre’, ‘avoir’ and ‘aller’ with hypothetical expressions Part 5: Irregular ‘-re’ verbs and possibility and necessity Part 6: Irregular ‘-ir’ verbs - fear, anxiety and forbidding Part 7: Connaitre and savoir with superlatives and extremity Part 8: More irregular ‘-ir’ verbs and other conjunctions Part 9: Reflexive and impersonal verbs + hypothetical state Part 10: The past subjunctive using ‘avoir’ verbs + miscellaneous expressions which require either the subjunctive or the indicative Part 11: The past subjunctive using ‘etre’ verbs + inverted questions such as ‘pensez-vous que …’, ‘crois-tu que …’ Part 12: The past subjunctive using reflexive verbs + a revision of all expressions which either require the subjunctive or the indicative. Happy teaching and learning!
