extra vocabulary learning + revision). Use different colours to highlight:

a. words you already know from previous units of work

b. cognates and near-cognates (words that are the same as/similar to English)

c. verbs (actions/activities/doing words)

DÉFI/CHALLENGE: Identify the verbs in present, past and future tenses

2. Play the ‘Y9 French – Ma vie sociale d’ado: parallel text’ soundfile from ClassCharts and

listen to the pronunciation, then read the French out loud, trying to perfect your

pronunciation. Can you read it out loud and keep up with the recording?

3. Familiarise yourself with the words from the sentence builder below, which you can

use to build answers from the first question on the parallel text (Es-tu connecté sur

Facebook?). Start by playing the ‘SKO part 1’ soundfile from ClassCharts and

practising your pronunciation by repeating the French after the teacher.

4. After practising the correct pronunciation, choose at least three of the following

tasks which will help you familiarise yourself with the vocabulary from the sentence

builder.

• Write down the French and English for six sentences you have built using the

Sentence Builder above.

• Build six sentences, then time 20 seconds to look at each one before trying to

re-write the sentence from memory (as in the ‘frog copying’ activity we do in

class).

• Play ‘Trapdoor’ or ‘Mind Reading’ to guess a sentence someone else has built -

this could be someone in your family (they don’t need to know French, as they

can use the Sentence builder), or a friend in your class (over a phone call or

video chat).

• Make flashcards or a Look-Cover-Write-Check sheet to learn key words.

• You can also learn the words on Quizlet (see weblink on the front of this

booklet).

5. Colour-code the mosaic to show how to translate the phrases below (or write out the

translations), then use Sentence Builder 1 (in Lesson 1) to check your answers.

translation practice

*After completing each activity in this lesson, check your work using the answer key booklet*

1. Read each text and work out who says each of the phrases below.

English Who says it? French translation

I do quizzes or play games

I spend hours on Facebook

We send each other video links

I read my messages

I go onto my homepage

I also invite my friends round

I update my likes

I post messages on my friends’ walls

We share photos

I look at and comment on my friends’ photos

2. Read the texts and decide if each sentence is either TRUE or FALSE:

1. Nicolas is on Facebook = T / F

2. Nicolas’ mum doesn’t like Facebook = T / F

3. Leila agrees with Nicolas’ mum = T / F

4. Karim’s solution is: an hour of homework and twenty minutes on Facebook = T / F

5. Émilie says that Nicolas must accept his mum’s decision = T / F

6. Vincent thinks that Facebook isn’t important = T / F

3. Spend 10 minutes revising the present tense for regular -er verbs, as well as the

conjugations for the irregular verb “ALLER”. You could try the Look-Cover-Test-Check

technique, make flashcards with the verb endings, or any other technique that you feel

works for you. Remember, regular -er verbs follow the same pattern.

1. Take the infinitive (-er verb) and remove the -er, so you are left with the stem. In the

table, we will use the example poster – to post.

2. Add on the appropriate verb ending depending on who is doing the action

Subject pronoun verb stem verb ending =

Je (I) post -e Je poste

Tu (you – singular) post -es Tu postes

Il/elle/on (He/She/We) post -e Il/elle/on poste

Nous (We – formal) post -ons Nous postons

Vous (You – plural) post -ez Vous postez

Ils/elles (They m/f) post -ent Ils/elles postent

Slightly differently for ALLER (to go) as it is an irregular verb i.e. it doesn’t follow the pattern

above:

TO GO ALLER

I go Je vais

You go (singular) Tu vas

He/she/we (informal) go Il/elle/on va

We (formal) go Nous allons

You go (plural) Vous allez

They (m/f) go Ils/elles vont

Activity 1: Use the table for regular present tense -er verbs to conjugate the following verbs:

COMMENTER: To COMMENT

Subject pronoun verb stem verb ending =

Je (I) -e

Tu (you – singular) -es

Il/elle/on (He/She/We) -e

Nous (We – formal) -ons

Vous (You – plural) -ez

Ils/elles (They m/f) -ent

JOUER: To PLAY

Subject pronoun verb stem verb ending =

Je (I)

Tu (you – singular)

Il/elle/on (He/She/We)

Nous (We – formal)

Vous (You – plural)

Ils/elles (They m/f)

Lesson 4: Tu viens aussi? Grammar, reading and

translation practice

1. Revisit the Sentence Builder 2 vocabulary from last lesson by playing the ‘SKO part 2’

soundfile from ClassCharts and practising your pronunciation by repeating the French

after the teacher. Then, revise the sentences through the Quizlet link on the front

cover of this booklet.

*After completing each activity in this lesson, check your work using the answer key booklet*

3. To say what we are going to do, we need to use the future tense. To form the future

tense, we must do the following:

- Future tense stem + infinitive

Je vais = I am going

Tu vas = You are going (singular)

Il/elle/on va = He/she/we (informal) are going

Nous allons = We are going

Vous allez = You are going (plural)

Ils/elles vont = They are going

e.g. I am going to do = Je vais faire

4. Translate the following into French using future tense (try not to use your Sentence

Builder!)

a. This evening, I am going to go to a party.

__________________________________________________________

b. Tomorrow, I am going to have a picnic.

__________________________________________________________

c. On Saturday afternoon, we are going to go to the cinema.

__________________________________________________________

5. To test your understanding, now create a mini dialogue for each of the scenarios

below, using your Sentence Builder 2 to help if you need to:

For example:

2. To form the past tense in French, to say what we did/have done, we need two parts

Auxiliary verb + past participle (past tense verb)

- J’ai (I)

- Tu as (You – singular)

-Il/elle/on a (He/She/We)

- Nous avons (We – formal)

- Vous avez (You – plural)

- Ils/elles ont (They – m/f)

- mangé (ate)

- acheté (bought)

- dansé (danced)

- regardé (watched)

- joué (played)

- fait (did)

- bu (drank)

- lu (read)

- vu (saw)

- pris (took)

e.g. J’ai mangé un hamburger = I ate a burger

Page 20: Rastrick High School: Home Learning Year 9 French · works for you. Remember, regular -er verbs follow the same pattern. 1. Take the infinitive (-er verb) and remove the -er, so you

BUT! Some verbs in the past tense need a different auxiliary verb. So, instead of saying j’ai,

we say “je suis” for “I”. The table below gives you some examples of verbs that take this

different auxiliary verb.

- Je suis (I)

- Tu es (You – singular)

-Il/elle/on est (He/She/We)

- Nous sommes (We – formal)

- Vous êtes (You – plural)

- Ils/elles sont (They – m/f)

- allé (went)

- resté (stayed)

- sorti (went out)

If your subject is feminine, add an extra

-e onto the past participle e.g.

Je suis allée / Elle est allée

If your subject is plural, add an extra -s

onto the past participle e.g.

Nous sommes allés

Now, translate the following sentences in the past tense. Use you Sentence Builder and the

past tense explanations in this lesson to help, if you need it.

a. Samedi dernier, je suis allé au cinéma et j’ai vu un film.

___________________________________________________________

b. Hier matin, on a fait des magasins au centre commercial.

c. Yesterday evening, we watched a DVD.

Tous les jours, je passe des heures sur Facebook

et je lis mes messages. J’adore Facebook!

Une fois par jour, je poste des messages et je

commente des photos. C’est indispensable à ma

vie sociale!

Rarement je vais sur ma page perso. Je pense

que la réalité est plus importante que Facebook!

De temps en temps, je regarde des photos et on

partage des photos aussi. Mais, c’est dangereux

quelquefois!

Deux fois par semaine, on organise des sorties.

C’est marrant de faire ça!

Tu viens aussi? Are you coming too?

Ce soir, je vais aller au cinema pour regarder un

film. Ça t’intéresse?

Samedi après-midi, on va faire un piquenique. On

se retrouve où?

Demain matin, je veux faire les magasins. Tu

veux m’accompagner?

Dimanche matin, je vais aller à la patinoire avec

mes amis. Tu viens avec nous?

regardé un DVD. C’était génial!

Le weekend dernier, on a bavardé beaucoup et

dansé ensemble. C’était romantique!

Hier matin, j’ai fait une promenade avec ma

famille. Je l’ai aimé parce que c’était

intéressant!

Il y a deux semaines, j’ai fait des magasins.

Pourtant, c’était nul!

Es-tu connecté sur Facebook? Do you use Facebook?

Every day, I spend hours on Facebook and I read

my messages. I love Facebook!

Once a day, I post messages and I comment on

photos. It’s vital for my social life!

do that!
