Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- The sound-symbol correspondence [-ez] and 'et', meaning and, sound the same as [é] and [-er].
- Verbs in the present tense change ending to match the pronoun: 'je' -e, 'tu' -es.
- Endings -e and -es sound the same because of the silent final consonant.
Keywords
[-ez] and 'et' - pronounced the same as [é] and [-er]
Pronoun - a word that takes the place of a noun, like 'it', 'you', 'she'
Je - French pronoun 'I'
Tu - French pronoun 'you'
Common misconception
The verb ending for 'tu' is -e not -es.
The 's' in the -es ending is not pronounced. A useful way to embed the 'tu' - es form-meaning connection is in reading activities that omit the pronouns 'je' and 'tu'; pupils are compelled to focus on the verb ending to complete the task.
