Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- It is useful to practise recalling present, aller + infinitive, then simple future e.g. je suis, je vais être, je serai.
- It is important to include regular and common irregular simple future verbs when writing about future plans.
- Wherever possible in your writing, it is good to demonstrate that you can move between different tenses.
Keywords
Aller + infinitive - 2-verb structure meaning ‘going to + infinitive’
Simple future - 1-verb future tense meaning ‘will + verb’
Common misconception
The simple future stem of 'aller' is its infinitive, like most -er verbs.
'Aller' is an irregular verb and its stem in the simple future is ir-. The normal simple future endings are added to this stem.
Teacher tip
Task A1 listening includes a worked example to start. Task B1 could be adapted for further challenge by removing the English, and requiring pupils to provide this as part of the task. B2 refers to BORDER, our writing acronym, first met in Unit 11 lesson 9.
Equipment
Mini whiteboards and pens would be useful if available.
