I can use present and future tenses to describe plans for a future trip exploring France.
Key learning points
- It is useful to practise recalling present, aller + infinitive, then simple future e.g. je suis, je vais être, je serai.
- It is important to include regular and common irregular simple future verbs when writing about future plans.
- Wherever possible in your writing, it is good to demonstrate that you can move between different tenses.
Words to know
- aller + infinitive
- 2-verb structure meaning ‘going to + infinitive’
- simple future
- 1-verb future tense meaning ‘will + verb’
Common mistakes
The simple future stem of 'aller' is its infinitive, like most -er verbs.
'Aller' is an irregular verb and its stem in the simple future is ir-. The normal simple future endings are added to this stem.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Task A1 listening includes a worked example to start. Task B1 could be adapted for further challenge by removing the English, and requiring pupils to provide this as part of the task. B2 refers to BORDER, our writing acronym, first met in Unit 11 lesson 9.
