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.
