French

Pupils embed irregular -ir and -re verbs. They distinguish between jouer à, jouer de and faire de, and practise 'de' as a partitive article (du, de la, des, de l'). They use de, d in negatives, expressions of quantity and learn adverb positioning. SSCs -s-, th, -ill-, -ille, -aill-, -ail are taught.
