Why this why now

Prior learning about future plans from the KS4 course is revisited and built upon in this unit, as pupils learn to embrace the conditional mood and combine it with their use of the simple future and the conditional with vouloir. They will explore future plans related to family and relationships, places to live, and travel, learning to talk about others as well as themselves. Being able to use the future and conditional, in addition to the present and past tenses, are key skills at KS4 and this unit offers plentiful opportunities to embed this knowledge.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know how to form the future tense of regular verbs like parler in all persons.
  • Pupils know how to form the conditional with vouloir in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person singular.
  • Pupils know the irregular future tense forms of the verbs aller, être, faire and avoir.
  • Pupils know how to use 'en' with transport.
  • Pupils know a range of word pattern rules to help them form adverbs from adjectives, nouns from verbs, ordinal numbers and antonyms.
