2019
Introduction for parents and pupils: Bonjour! Here is your French revision pack for your upcoming Summer exams. It contains all the grammar and vocab that you have seen this year. It also may contain things that you have not yet covered in detail – but will need to know by the end of Year 8. We want you to be in a good position going into next year so really work on knowing those tenses ! The more you show off, the better your grade will be. Remain positive and do your best ! Bon courage !
THE PRESENT TENSE
There are 3 types of regular verbs in French:
1. Verbs which end in ‘er’ - eg. Jouer – to play, Chanter – to sing
2. Verbs which end in ‘re’ – eg. Vendre – to sell, Répondre – to reply
3. Verbs which end in ‘ir’ - eg. Finir – to finish, Remplir – to fill
These verbs are called REGULAR VERBS, which means that they follow a
REGULAR pattern.
The endings change depending on who is doing the action – just like in Latin
(look out for the pronoun).
The pronouns are :
Je I
tu you (singular)
Il /elle he / she
nous we
vous you (plural)
ils / elles they (m) / they (f)
The present is used for :
• Describing events that are happening now,
• things that you usually do or things that do not change.
The main thing to remember is that the present tense in French is
used to say several things :
for instance, il travaille means he works, he is working and he does work.Some signposts to use with the present tense
• Maintenant = now
• Normalement = normally
• D’habitude = usually
• En ce moment = at the moment
Aujourd’hui = today
ER verbs – take off the ER at the end and add :
Jouer (to play)
Je E je joue (I play)
Tu ES tu joues (you play)
Il /elle E il joue (he plays)
Nous ONS nous jouons (we play)
Vous EZ vous jouez (you play)
Ils ENT ils jouent (they play)

2. Je ___________ le musée en ville. (visiter)
3. Tu ___________ le professeur en classe. (écouter)
4. Il ____________ au rugby avec ses amis. (jouer)

Il /elle IT il finit (he finshes)

Tu S tu vends (you sell)
Il /elle -- il vend (he sells)
Nous ONS nous vendons (we sell)

j' ai je suis je vais je fais
tu as tu es tu vas tu fais
il/elle a il/elle est il/elle va il/elle fait
/on /on /on /on
nous avons nous sommes nous allons nous faisons
vous avez vous êtes vous allez vous faites
ils/elles ont ils/elles sont ils/elles vont ils/elles fontTHE FUTURE TENSE
This is what you are going to do and it’s one of the easier tenses to master.

1. The verb ‘aller’ (to go)
2. The infinitive of the verb you’re going to do. (to ____, to make, to eat etc.)
Useful time markers
L’année prochaine = next year

g. Ce matin nous n’__________ pas aller à l’école

YOU PUT A NE PAS AROUND THE VERB !
Je joue au tennis = I play tennis
Je ne joue pas au tennis = I don’t play tennis
If the verb begins with a vowel (aeiou) then the ne becomes a n’ → je n’écoute
pas.
In the prefect and future proche tenses, you put ne and pas around the
auxiliary verb. → Je ne vais pas jouer / Je n’ai pas joué
A toi de jouer! Can you make those sentences negative?
Je répète (I repeat)=

Je mange (I eat) =

Il est (he is) =
________________________________________________________THE PAST TENSE (PERFECT)
When we want to talk about what we’ve done, we use the past tense.
e.g I played tennis on Saturday
We watched a film
In French you use the perfect tense. This is formed in the following way.
You take the present tense avoir (to have) + the past participle
Step1 Step 2
The present tense of avoir + Past participle
J’ai
Tu as
Er verbs Ir verbs Re verbs
Il/Elle a
Take off ER IR RE

Key phrases for the past tense :
L’année dernière = last year en 2017 = in 2017
La semaine dernière = last week il y a deux mois = 2 months ago
Hier = yesterday The perfect tense in French continued…
Le week-end dernier = last weekendThe perfect tense is made of 3 parts: the PERSON, ETRE or AVOIR and the
past participle.
Most verbs take ‘avoir’ as the auxiliary (meaning phrases start with ‘j’ai’, ‘il a’,
etc.)
But some verbs in French take ‘être’ as the auxiliary instead, for example ‘je
suis allé’.
Here is a table of pronouns and auxiliaries:
être
Pronoun Auxiliary
Je suis I
tu es You
il est he
elle est she
Nous sommes we
Vous êtes you
Ils sont They m
Elles sont They f
A. Fill in the gaps with the correct pronoun or auxiliary:
1. Je _____ allé à la piscine. I went to the __________________
2. Il _____ allé au supermarché. He went to the _________________.
3. _____ sommes allés à la bibliothèque.4. = We went to the __________________. 5. ______ est allée au parc. She went to the __________________. 6. Tu ______ allé à la maison. You went to the __________________. 7. _____ suis allée au collège. I went to the ___________________. Here is a handy way to remember which verbs take être. Also most of these verbs have a clear STARTING point and END point.
A → B
When you have used être you need to remember to add the following
onto the past participle when the pronoun is :
Feminine E
Masculine plural S
Feminine plural ES
Elle est allée
= She went
Nous sommes partis = we left
Elles sont arrivées = they (f) arrived
Ils sont retournés = They (m) returned
Il est retourné = He returnedTHE CONDITIONAL TENSE This tense is used when you want to say : would or could or should do something. In fact, you have already know at least one conditional in French : je voudrais The conditional is formed by using the infinitive + imperfect endings : je ais tu ais il/elle/on ait nous ions vous iez ils/elles aient jouer (to play) je jouer + ais = je jouerais I would play regarder (to watch) je jegarder + ais = je regarderais I would watch finir (to finish) il finir + ait = il finirait he would finish However, if it is irregular in the future tense, it also irregular in the conditional. The main ones are : être (ser) aller (ir) avoir (aur) faire (fer) This time you use the changed stem of the verb, then you add your normal ending : aller (to go) > ir je ir + ais = j’irais I would go You have a go : 1. Si j’avais le temps, j’(aller) ____________ au cinéma
2. Je (jouer)____________au foot avec mes amis dans le parc.
3. J’(acheter)______________ une voiture de sport si je gagnais au loto.
3. Si j’avais l’argent, je (faire)____________ le tour du monde.
Si j’étais millionnaire = If I was a millionaire
Si j’avais le choix = If I had the choice
Here are a few great phrases to
Si je pouvais = I could use the conditional with!
