Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recall the irregular future-tense stem for 22 common French verbs (e.g., être → ser-, faire → fer-, avoir → aur-).

  • Translate French sentences using irregular future-tense verbs into accurate English.

  • Construct French sentences in the future tense, correctly pairing an irregular stem with the appropriate subject ending.

Teaching tips

  • Review the endings table and the 22-verb stem list together before assigning either exercise, since both exercises assume fluency with all 22 stems.

  • Assign Exercise 1 (French to English) before Exercise 2 (English to French), to practise interpreting the supplied forms before generating French forms.

  • Use the answer key's exact wording as a class discussion point where multiple natural English translations are possible (e.g., 'falloir' as 'to be necessary/must/have to/need to').

Skills covered

  • Irregular future-tense stem recall — students recall the correct irregular stem for 22 common French verbs.
