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, elle, il-e.
- 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'
Il - French pronoun 'he'
Elle - French pronoun 'she'
Common misconception
All verb forms have the same ending.
A useful way to embed the pronoun-verb form-meaning connection is in reading activities that omit the pronouns; pupils are compelled to focus on the verb ending to complete the task.
