What you’ll learn

I can recognise the future tense and the conditional of -er verbs in a range of texts about places to live.

Key learning points

  • [i] is pronounced as in 'midi', [on] as in 'non', and [ez] as in 'nez'.
  • Conjugate the future tense of -er verbs by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive.
  • The conditional has the same stem as the future tense (the infinitive).
  • The conditional endings are: -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient. These are the same as the imperfect.

Words to know

conditional
a form of verb used to express what would happen

Common mistakes

A separate word for 'will' and 'would' needs to be translated into French when using future or conditional verbs.

The 1-verb future and conditional verb forms express 'will' and 'would' in their spellings. No separate word is required.

For parents, carers and teachers
  • 'La Corse' is introduced as a piece of new vocabulary. Teachers might like to find some additional photographs of the island as well as the traditional stone houses mentioned to share with students.
