French: Subjunctive in a nutshell: Parts 1-12 (Only £16!!)

12 Resources
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.
