Host: I currently teach French in a school in Shropshire and am learning Spanish. I lived in Germany for two years, and spent 13 years teaching German in a grammar school where I still work as a boarding tutor.
This is a fantastic lesson to learn how to correctly say and write past tense sentences using etre and avoir. In this short lesson, students study examples of the past tense in French and practise forming simple accurate sentences using a sentence builder, flashcard practice and an interactive conversation. There is no learning of tables and missing verb exercises, just snappy spoken exercises. This class is aimed at students in Years 7 - 9 but is great for any student who wants to feel more confident in their French grammar or is revising.
