Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Match the six present-tense avoir forms to the appropriate subject pronouns.

  • Distinguish present-tense avoir from être in sentence contexts.

  • Use avoir in familiar expressions and original sentences.

Teaching tips

  • Review the present-tense forms of avoir before the gap-filling work.

  • Use the avoir/être choices to discuss why a French expression takes a particular verb.

  • Check the first three sheets with the completed versions and assess the original sentences individually.

Skills covered

  • Present-tense conjugation of avoir — students write ai, as, a, avons, avez and ont into nine gapped sentences with the infinitive shown as a cue.

  • Idiomatic avoir expressions — the sentences build in avoir quinze ans, avoir besoin de, avoir envie de jouer, avoir peur du noir, avoir le temps and avoir de la chance.

  • Reading in connected French — two linked paragraphs about a family and a local library carry avoir blanks throughout, so students track subject and verb across whole sentences.
