      Où se loger ? Future and conditional with -er verbs (plural)

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can recognise the future tense and the conditional of -er verbs in a range of texts about places to live.

      Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

      Key learning points

      1. [i] is pronounced as in 'midi', [on] as in 'non', and [ez] as in 'nez'.
      2. Conjugate the future tense of -er verbs by adding the endings -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont to the infinitive.
      3. The conditional has the same stem as the future tense (the infinitive).
      4. The conditional endings are: -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient. These are the same as the imperfect.

      Keywords

      • Conditional - a form of verb used to express what would happen

      Common misconception

      A separate word for 'will' and 'would' needs to be translated into French when using future or conditional verbs.

      The 1-verb future and conditional verb forms express 'will' and 'would' in their spellings. No separate word is required.

      Teacher tip

      'La Corse' is introduced as a piece of new vocabulary. Teachers might like to find some additional photographs of the island as well as the traditional stone houses mentioned to share with students.

      Equipment

      Mini whiteboards and pens are useful, if available.
