For clarity – the (definite article), a/an (indefinite article), some (partitive article)

Slide 3
For clarity: Change title to ‘Subject Personal Pronouns’ as there are different types of pronoun.
Slide 4
For clarity: Change title to ‘The Three Verb Families’.
Add a short sentence explaining that in French, all verbs end with either ‘-er’, ‘-re’ or ‘-ir’.
Slide 5
For clarity: Reword the final sentence so that the audience (GCSE students) will understand. For example ‘Notice that there is only one present tense in French that covers three tenses in English’.
Slide 8
Note: '-re' endings are '-s', '-s', '-', '-ons', '-ez', '-ent'.
Slide 10
Add an explanation of the fact that there are some verbs which are irregular and that four of the most commonly used irregular verbs are listed below.
Note: 'vous FAITES' and 'vous ÊTES'
Slide 13
Add an example next to each explanation. E.g. '-er' verbs - remove '-er' and add 'é' E.G. JOUÉ.
Slide 15
List all the verbs which take 'etre' in the perfect. These are; Monter, Retourner, Sortir, Venir, Arriver, Naître, Descendre, Entrer, Rester, Tomber, Rentrer, Aller, Mourir, Partir. These can easily be remembered by MRS VAN DER TRAMP.
Note: Reflexive verbs also take 'etre' in the perfect.
Slide 16
Note: The past participle of 'avoir' is 'eu'. 'Allé' is not an irregular past participle, so 'aller' can be omitted from this list.
Slide 20
For clarity: Reword the final sentence. For example, 'for '-er' and '-ir' verbs, add the endings. For '-re' verbs, remove the 'e' and add the endings.
Slide 30
Remove 'To form this tense you add the following endings onto the stem of a verb'. Instead, add explanation to beginning of slide 31. Note: The imperfect tense is formed by dropping the '-ons' ending from the first person plural (nous) of the present tense and adding the endings.
Create a new slide after slide 31, in which you list the irregular stems that you have done so in slide 30.
Slide 33
Note: MRS VAN DER TRAMP and reflexive verbs take 'etre' as their auxiliary verb in the past conditional.
Slide 35
Note: MRS VAN DER TRAMP and reflexive verbs take 'etre' as their auxiliary verb in the pluperfect.
Slide 37
Note:After the verb 'vouloir' + que.
