Why this why now
Pupils reactivate previous knowledge of the verb avoir, articles, gender, number and the alphabet as they practise asking and answering the question 'Comment ça s'écrit?'. The context of Francophone countries provides a rich basis for practising previously taught sound-symbol correspondences for both written transcription and oral practice on spelling place names.

- Pupils know the definite articles le, la, les and l'.
- Pupils know the indefinite articles un, une and des.
- Pupils know to use 'il y a' and 'il n y a pas de' with nouns.
- Pupils know subject pronouns je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles.
- Pupils know that il/elle can be translated as 'it'.
- Pupils know possessive adjectives mon, ma, mes, ton ta, tes.
