This presentation was designed to enhance classroom practice of French regular verbs. The target conjugation is chosen from the drop-down menu, the ‘allons-y’ button generates a new verb and a button is clicked to spin the subject selector. Pupils then write down (on white boards preferably) the form of the verb that matches the subject. Teaching points or answers can be typed on the on-screen board. Work can be saved at the end if desired. Any tense can be practised with this activity. The conjugations available via the drop down menu are -er verbs, -ir verbs, -re verbs, and -er verbs involving spelling changes. In order for the interactive features to work, you will need to enable macros on your computer when prompted.

This resource consists of two worksheets on regular -er verbs following the standard pattern (like ‘parler’) and four on -er verbs with changes in spelling (like ‘manger, lancer, promener, jeter, préférer’). A brief explanation and two practice exercises are provided on each sheet. Probably best used for work in exercise books. Although the material could be suitable for more able KS2 pupils, it is best used for KS3 and GCSE.
