I can use the simple past, the present perfect and present tense + 'depuis' to describe past and ongoing events in the life of an immigrant.
Key learning points
- The perfect tense and present tense + 'depuis' can usefully be combined to talk about completed and ongoing events.
- [e] sounds like 'je' and [ui] sounds like 'huit'.
- When talking or writing about someone else, change pronouns, verbs and possessive adjectives from first to third person.
- It is important to carefully plan use of tenses when creating a longer text.
Words to know
- first person
- form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to yourself
- third person
- form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to others
- perfect tense
- describes what you did or have done in the past
- present tense
- describes what you do habitually or what you are doing now
- depuis
- for, since
Common mistakes
When writing, talking about what someone does, has done using a text written in the first person for information, only the subject pronoun needs to be changed in each sentence.
When writing, talking in the third person using a text in the first person for information, change the subject pronoun, verb, object pronouns and possessive adjectives (words like 'my', 'your', 'his', 'her').
For parents, carers and teachers
- When completing practice task B1 and B2, students will need the worksheet to see the stimulus material as the tasks are set up over multiple slides.
