Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Student can conjugate 26 common irregular French verbs in the present tense across all six subject pronouns.

  • Student can recall the English meaning of each of the 26 irregular verbs.

Teaching tips

  • Assign the full-page tables for initial learning of each verb, then use the condensed two-per-page and master-grid versions for later review or a timed quiz-prep drill.

  • Group the verbs by shared conjugation pattern (e.g., -ir stem-changing verbs like partir, sortir, dormir, servir) rather than working through them in the printed order, since several verbs share a pattern.

Skills covered

  • Verb-meaning recall — students supply the English meaning of each French verb before conjugating it.
