Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. [i] is pronounced as in 'midi', [on] as in 'non', and [ez] as in 'nez'.
  2. Conjugate the future tense of -er verbs by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive.
  3. The conditional has the same stem as the future tense (the infinitive).
  4. The conditional endings are: -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient. These are the same as the imperfect.

Keywords

  • Conditional - a form of verb used to express what would happen

Common misconception

A separate word for 'will' and 'would' needs to be translated into French when using future or conditional verbs.

The 1-verb future and conditional verb forms express 'will' and 'would' in their spellings. No separate word is required.

'La Corse' is introduced as a piece of new vocabulary. Teachers might like to find some additional photographs of the island as well as the traditional stone houses mentioned to share with students.
