Key learning points
- Pre-rehearsal, focusing on range of language and accuracy of pronunciation, improves performance in speaking tasks.
- Being able to apply word patterns, such as creating antonyms or adverbs from adjectives, expands our vocabulary.
- Listening to texts and identifying sound-spelling links is crucial to good pronunciation of trickier sounds e.g. im/in.
Keywords
Adverb - word that describes a verb or an adjective
Antonym - a word that has the opposite meaning to another word
Common misconception
To create antonyms in French, always add the prefix in- to the start of an adjective or adverb e.g. 'utile' becomes 'inutile'.
Some antonyms are formed by adding the prefix im-. This is when the original word begins with p, b or m: possible become impossible; buvable (drinkable) becomes imbuvable (undrinkable); 'mature' becomes 'immature'.
