Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Conjugate the irregular verb prendre correctly in the present tense across 25 everyday sentences.

  • Conjugate the irregular verb boire correctly in the present tense across 25 everyday sentences.

  • Apply the passé composé form of both verbs, including the correct auxiliary (avoir) and past participle (pris, bu), in context.

Teaching tips

  • Assign the two present-tense pages (6-7) before the passé composé pages (2-3), since the passé composé exercises reuse many of the same sentence subjects and contexts in a more advanced form.

  • Have students self-check using the matching answer key immediately after each exercise, since each of the four pages has its own dedicated key.

  • Point out the irregular past participles pris and bu directly, since neither follows a regular -er/-ir/-re pattern that students may expect.

Skills covered

  • Present-tense conjugation — students supply the correct present-tense form of prendre and boire across two 25-item pages.

  • Passé composé formation — students supply the auxiliary avoir plus the irregular past participle (pris or bu) across two 25-item pages.

  • Contextual verb use — every sentence embeds the target verb in an everyday food, drink, or daily-routine context rather than an isolated conjugation drill.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do the present-tense and passé composé pages use the same set of sentences?

Yes — both versions reuse the same 25 sentence subjects for each verb (for example, sentence 2 is always about taking the bus with friends), so students practice the same context in two different tenses.
