Key learning points
- The perfect tense, the imperfect tense and the present tense can be usefully combined to describe family events.
- Creating a checklist for range of language to use can enhance the quality of extended writing.
- Creating a checklist for accuracy can enhance the quality of extended writing.
Words to know
- present tense
- describes habitual events in the present (I do) or events happening right now (I am doing)
- perfect tense
- describes actions that have been completed in the past
- imperfect tense
- describes habitual actions, as well as emotions or scene-setting in the past
Common mistakes
The verbs 'refuser', 'demander', 'essayer', 'laisser' and 'éviter' are followed directly by an infinitive, e.g. 'éviter faire' ('to avoid doing'), 'refuser faire' ('to refuse to do').
These verbs are followed by 'de' plus an infinitive, e.g. 'éviter de faire' ('to avoid doing'), 'refuser de faire' ('to refuse to do').
For parents, carers and teachers
- There are two versions of Task A2, Option 1 and Option 2. Option 1 aims to provide more challenge. Option 2 provides more support for pupils who may need this. Only Option 1 features in the video.
