Autumn
2018Introduction for parents and pupils:
Bonjour!
Here is your French revision pack for your upcoming autumn exams.
Please don’t worry too much, the best thing is little and often!
The exam will be fun and will allow you to show off all that you have
learnt so far this year.
Just do your best and put in the same brilliant effort that you do in
class.
Watch out for:
Spellings that you always spell wrong! Look through your books to
make sure!
Accents may also cause you problems – be aware of these
(especially on père, mère, frère)
Verb endings
Mon/ma/mes
Plurals - aux, -s , s’appelle / s’appellent, habite/habitent
Bon Courage!Vocabulary
Revision tips
Look, say, cover, write, check.
Learn this French words as you would your English spellings. Use the 5 steps below to learn how to spell
any word.
1. LOOK – Look carefully at the word for at least 10 seconds.
2. SAY – Say the word to yourself or out loud to practise pronunciations.
3. COVER – Cover up the word when you feel that you have learned it.
4. WRITE – Write the word from memory.
5. CHECK – Check the word against the original. Did you get it right? If not, what did you get wrong?
Spend time learning that bit of the word again. Try again until you get it right.
Cognates
Cognates are words that look similar in French and in English. Try to use these cognates to help you revise
– but be careful with spellings! Sometimes there are little differences for example: Afrique Africa
The cognates in this unit are:
Parents
Animal
Hamster
Unique
Colour coding
Use pink and blue crayons to colour in masculine and feminine words.
Post-it Notes
Still struggling to remember those tricky spellings, or those verbs? Try writing them out on post-it notes
and sticking these notes somewhere you will see them 3 or 4 times a day. On the mirror? On your lap-top?
On your wardrobe door?
Show off
An exam is your chance to show off everything that you know about a topic – so add colour, size and use a
variety of vocabulary etc. at every opportunity to show the examiner how great you are!My family and friends

them using il and elle instead of je?Useful Verbs and Grammar hints
Avoir – to have
French English 1st attempt 2nd attempt 3rd attempt
Avoir To have
J’ai I have
Tu as You have
il/elle/on a He/it/she/we

(are)
Nous sommes We are
Vous êtes You are
ils/elles sont They areFill in the gaps:
To be
To haveMaking something negative:
To make a verb negative, use ne…..pas.
It forms a sandwich around the verb:
Je suis (I am) Je ne suis pas (I am not)
If the verb begins with a vowel or an h use n’…..pas
J’ai (I have) je n’ai pas (I have not)
Ne / n’ verb pas
Try making these sentences negative. The verb is underlined to help you:
1. je suis français = ____________________________________________________
2. je regarde ‘Eastenders’= ______________________________________________
3. je joue au cricket = __________________________________________________
4. j’aime les maths = ___________________________________________________
5. j’habite à Paris = ____________________________________________________Mon, Ma, Mes – Ton, Ta, Tes
These are called possessive adjectives. That means that the noun that follows belongs to someone. In
English they are my, your, his, her etc.
In French the possessive adjective must change according to whether the thing that follows is masculine,
feminine or plural. (It does not depend on who is speaking!)
Masculine Feminine Plural
My Mon père Ma mère Mes parents
Your Ton frère Ta sœurs Tes grandparents
His/her Son oncle Sa tante Ses sœurs
Exception: For singular nouns beginning with a vowel or h you use mon, ton, son regardless of whether
it is feminine or not. This is why we say “mon amie” when we are talking about a female friend.
Try to put the correct possessive adjective in front of these words:
Mon, ma or mes? Ton, ta or tes? son, sa or ses?
1. _____ père 6. _____ père 11. _____ père
2. _____ mère 7. _____ mère 12. _____ mère
3. _____ parents 8. _____ parents 13. _____ parents
4. _____ cousine 9. _____ cousine 14. _____ cousine
5. _____ chien 10. _____ chien 15. _____ chien
Making things plural
Some nouns don’t just add an –s.
Words enging in –al change to –aux
un animal des animaux
Words ending in –eau change to –eaux
un oiseau des oiseauxWhat will be in the exam ?
The exam will mostly focus on what we have done in Unit 2 (all the vocabulary and grammar here!)
There will be listening, speaking, reading, grammar and writing tests.
Have a look at the paragraphs that you have written about your family and pets. You may be required to
write something similar to this for the writing part of the exam:
Bonjour,

Dans ma famille il y a quatre personnes ; ma mère, mon beau-père,
mon demi-frère et moi.

cheveux longs et noirs et les yeux verts.
Mon demi-frère s’appelle Thibaud, il a cinq ans. Il est grand et
sportif.
J’ai un petit hamster marron, il s’appelle Speedy.
Et toi, as-tu des frères ou des sœurs ? As-tu un animal chez toi ?
Au revoir
Sébastien.
