Keywords
Modal verb - verb of necessity or possibility used with a 2nd verb in infinitive e.g. must, can, want
Conditional - describes what could or would happen under certain conditions
Common misconception
Verbs with 'de' e.g. 'persuader de', 'conseiller de' do not need to be followed by a second verb in its infinitive form.
All French verbs with 'de' are always followed by a second verb in its infinitive form. There may be a preposition or an object pronoun between the two verbs but a second verb in its infinitive form will always follow.
Teacher tip
The model responses in the tasks for cycle B are designed to be aimed high. It is worth pointing out to students that key factors are writing in full sentences, correct verb conjugations, accurate use of chosen structures.
