Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Conjugate the French verbs rentrer, revenir, and retourner correctly in the present, futur simple, and passé composé tenses

  • Apply être as the correct helping verb when forming the passé composé of these movement verbs

  • Match a French verb conjugation to its correct subject pronoun, including compound and named subjects

Teaching tips

  • Slip the worksheets into plastic sleeves for dry-erase reuse across multiple class periods, as the instructions suggest

  • Use the oral partner version first (one student holds the answer key and tracks speed/accuracy) before moving to the written individual version

  • Introduce the present-tense game before the futur simple and passé composé versions, since passé composé additionally requires knowing être as the helping verb

  • Time each round with a stopwatch and have students repeat until they can complete the chart accurately within the target time

Skills covered

  • Verb conjugation across tenses — students conjugate rentrer, revenir, and retourner in present, futur simple, and passé composé.

  • Auxiliary verb selection — students apply être as the correct helping verb for passé composé with these particular verbs.

  • Subject-verb matching — students match conjugated verb forms to a wide range of subject pronouns and compound or named subjects, such as 'mes amis et moi' or 'Julie'.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Why do rentrer, revenir, and retourner use être rather than avoir in the passé composé?

These are movement verbs that take être as their helping verb in the passé composé, which the instructions explicitly note when introducing that tense's worksheet.
