Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Some regular present participles are: partant, venant, ouvrant, choisissant, entendant, prenant, connaissant, écrivant.
- The present participle of faire is 'faisant'; 'faisant de' + noun means making something.
- The irregular present participles of être and avoir are 'étant' and 'ayant'.
- Extended reading texts can be exploited to enrich our thematic vocabulary and use of complex structures.
Keywords
Present participle - a verb form used to show how something happens, something that is happening at the same time, or to give a reason for something
Common misconception
Present participles are always preceeded by 'en'.
The present participles 'ayant', 'étant' and 'faisant de' can be used without the preposition 'en' e.g. 'Ayant une grand-mère musulmane, je sais beaucoup sur l'Islam' - having a muslim grandmother, I know a lot about Islam.
Equipment
A mini whiteboard and pen, together with pen and paper for note taking, would be useful if available.
