Following consolidation of adjective agreement and positioning, this unit aims to deepen understanding of comparative adjectives and adverbs, and moves on to develop mastery of superlative adjectives and adverbs. Pupils will be able to confidently use these two types of structures in writing and speaking to communicate their own and others' strengths and preferences, which will also prepare them well for upcoming KS4 contexts, such as the world of work.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know that adjectives agree with the noun they are describing in gender.
- Pupils know that adjectives agree with the noun they are describing in number.
- Pupils know that many adjectives in French are positioned after the verb.
- Pupils know that 5 common categories of adjectives (Beauty-Rank-Age-Good/Bad-Size) are positioned before the noun.
- Pupils can recognise the comparative structures plus...que, moins...que and aussi...que used with adjectives and adverbs.
- Pupils can recognise the irregular comparative forms meilleur(e)(s), mieux and pire(s).
