Key learning points
- Use part of the verb 'aller' plus an infinitive to express going to do e.g. Elles vont visiter Paris.
- Conjugate the simple future of -er verbs for nous, vous, ils/elles by adding the endings -ons, -ez, -ont to infinitive.
- There are many popular cultural events in France each year, such as the 'marche des fiertés' in Paris.
Keywords
Aller + infinitive - 2-verb structure meaning 'going to + infinitive'
Simple future - 1-verb future tense meaning 'will + verb'
Common misconception
When saying what you will do in French, a separate word is needed for 'will'.
The simple future in French is a simple tense because it is made of one word. The idea of 'will' is created through the correct verb stem and ending. Most -er verbs use the infinitive as stem for the simple future.
Equipment
Mini whiteboards and pens would be useful if available.
