Key learning points
- 'Aller' + infinitive is used to say 'going to do', and the simple future is used to say 'will do'.
- 'Ne … plus' is a negative structure which means 'no longer' or 'not anymore', e.g. 'mon grand-père ne travaille plus'.
- When 'plus' is used in a negative sentence, we do not usually hear the 's'.
- 'Ne … pas encore' means 'not yet' and is used with the perfect tense, e.g. 'je n'ai pas encore fait du ski'.
Keywords
Aller + infinitive - 2-verb structure meaning 'going to + infinitive'
Simple future - 1-verb future tense meaning 'will + verb'
Negation - makes a word, phrase or sentence negative, typically using words like 'not' in English, or the two elements 'ne … pas' in French
Common misconception
When saying 'plus' always pronounce the 's'.
'Plus' can mean 'plus' or 'more'. Then, the 's' should be pronounced. However, 'plus' can also mean 'no longer' as part of the negative phrase 'ne ... plus'. When used in this way, the 's' is silent.
Equipment
Mini whiteboard and pen, plus pen and paper are useful, if available.
