Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- [ien] sounds like 'bien'
- The simple present tense singular endings are -e with 'je, -es with 'tu' and -e' with il/elle
- Use à after to penser to say 'think about' something/someone.
- Use 'penser que' (think that) to give opinions in French. 'Que' always follows even if we would miss it out in English.
Keywords
Ien - pronounced as in 'bien'
Preposition - a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word
Common misconception
It is possible to leave 'que' out in French like it is in English.
Even if we would not translate 'que' (that) in English, in French we always need to put it when we mean 'think that'.
Teacher tip
There is more opportunty for speaking work with the final task; students could read aloud Lea's final presentation again. In addition, students could use this model to write their own presentation, if time allows.
